Default K5o readjustment

I'm trying to make the transition from 10/20 6-max back to full games and one area that needs adjustment is playing a weak top pair from the blinds. How do you handle this flop/turn? Assume typical opponents.

Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets?</font>, UTG folds, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, SB folds, Hero calls?, MP2 calls.

Turn: (5.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero... planning to...?

Check Fold

You should have re-raised the flop to get MP2 out or fold.

problems on the turn because you can not check call again.

Bet. If CO raises again, I would fold. Bet a non-heart river. They're most likely on draws. That Q might've given JQ two pair though. Think of it this way - what hand with a K in it are they limping with? Maybe KJ but it's unlikely.

Plenty of people would limp KTo (or KTs) in the cutoff behind a couple limpers and a loose-ish player might limp with some medium suited kings.

What's wrong with Check/calling here

Presumably MP2 will check after you, then CO can only 1 bet.

limpers may be drawing...
