Me no likely. I'm tossing preflop.

1) Chances that we are dominated is very high.
2) Getting away even if we are dominated might be damn hard.
3) KQ is a crappy multiway hand and we are oop in a 5 player pot.

Even with the huge pot I really don't think we can play this when basically just gunning for a straight.

How often will you flop a doozy?

By the looks of it, you will flop either a straight/OESD/2 split/trips just about 7% of the time. All of these hands comblined figure to win $$ postflop on average, so you would need a bit over 13:1 to call here (if they broke even postflop, less if they win). Of course it depends how much $$$ you can pull with these hands postflop and how well you can manage lesser flops like gutshots and one pair hands. I don't know if a good player can call, but if you do call, you have to be very careful and not trap yourself postflop with a weak hand. Playing for the big flop might sound like a weak way to play in a huge pot, but you can ill afford to make mistakes with this kind of underlay. I guess I would fold here.
