Default Pair of kings and ace hits on the turn

Live 1/2 NL. Ilimp in 2nd position with KQo. Five players to a flop. Flop is K65, with a 2-flush. I bet 10, 2 callers. Turn is an ace. What do I do?

Are people going to say I shouldn't play KQo OOP? I had mixed feelings, but of courseI was playing much tighter than most of the table.

I'm not against playing KQo OOP to mix it up, but this is the problem it leads to: you catch a nice flop, get a couple of callers, and then have no idea what the hell other players are going to do when the card that scares the hell out of you hits.

What caused this? You open limped in early position.

I also can't properly respond to this without any reads whatsoever. With five players, though (ESPECIALLY in a live game), one of them is holding the card that is going to lose you a lot of money. One of them probably stayed around post flop trying to catch one of their three outs on the turn.

Lesson: Don't play KQo OOP without raising.

If you play well postflop, seriously play whatever you want.
