KJo from SB

[HoldEmNewby]

Should I have raised preflop? How is my line? I don't like checking the turn with so many draws out there; that said should I really be building a big pot with TPOK? Considering that most players would raise with a K from CO?

Not much of a read but villain seemed capable of bluffing.

This was good. I never raise KJo OOP. You got what you want with that kind of a hand: a cheap showdown. And with that kind of flop and the way it is was played, you are more often good here than not.
