You are getting 3,7-1 to call the second best possible hand. Even though he could very well have that ace you can't lay this down now.

But, you really should bet more on the turn. If you think he is drawing to a hand that beats you you should make him pay for it. I would do a $15-potsized bet here.

More importantly, don't limp in with these kind of marginal hands Preflop. I always fold these kind of crappy hands, But if you do insist on playing it then it must be raised preflop.

Fold preflop.
Bet more on the turn, you want to make it look like you are protecting AQ.
On the river Hero shoves.
Nice hand.

Ok point taken about preflop fold, but I would never open limp this hand, but with 2 limpers behined me short handed I dont mind limping (sometimes) with a suited king...am I wrong in this line of reasoning?

whos folding this?

Nobody. Although your turn bet was a little small opponent called it drawing to 7 outs if your read is on, or he missed and you are good. You need to be VERY sure he has you beat to even contemplate folding here. I can't think of a single player I would bin this against. I would reraise a lot of them, but then I pot the turn. No problem with preflop if your table is truly terrible (in a good way /images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
