Default always unsure with bottom 2

2/4 NL ----- my first hand i post in LP ($200)
im dealt 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
4 players in the hand, the blinds and the button

flop comes K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

sb($150) leads out with 20
bb calls (400+).....
button has everyone covered ....

whats the correct play on the flop? with bottom 2 and flush draw out there??


ive tried to discuss this with many players, all opinions range from proceeding VERY carefully .... to even risking your stack .....

thanks

Not sure what you're doing in this game with only 50BBs... but because that's all you have, there are two lines I would consider.

1) Putting in a big raise on the flop, pushing a non-K non-spade turn.
2) Smooth calling on the flop, pushing a non-K non-spade turn

Where this gets tricky is when any card above 9 comes off, I would proceed with extreme caution, hopefully the button will fold on the flop and you can use pot control in position, in this case.

Typically, I would put in the flop raise to chase out the riff-raff, but I (almost) always fastplay everything.

BTW.. I like a raise on this particular flop more because it is unlikely that you are up against another two pair or a set, since K9 and K7 are not horribly common limping hands, KK would have been raised, 99 and 77 have only 1 combo each, so I'm pretty confident you have the best hand at this point.
