First off, I think 3rd and 4th are pretty standard.

5th Street is a tough decision. I hate playing against a paired door card, but I have a totally live gutshot straight, and a 3 flush to go along with the pair of kings. I considered raising at this point, but I figured my opponents behind me don't have anything really menacing. I really don't mind pairs smaller than kings coming in behind me, or even a gutshot isn't too bad. Hands like a 4 straight or a 4 flush aren't going anywhere if I raise anyhow. Since I'm most likely behind (although I have no clue how far behind), I decided to just call and let the "loose" players behind me give me better odds if seat 2 does have trips.

6th street I make Kings up. This is where I strongly considered raising, but at this point there were 2 factors that told me to just call here. First of all seat 2 is still betting even though my board is VERY scary. This signals to me that he has real strength. Next I looked at the players behind me, both have weak looking boards. Seat 6 likely has no draw whatsoever and is probably drawing to trips only. Seat 1 does have a 3 straight showing but his straight cards are quite dead. Notice I have two 10s, and a 9. Also on the lower end there has been two 5s and two 4s exposed. So I don't know what he has, but I know he's probably drawing pretty slim too. So on 6th I decided to just call again.

The river is tough because the 4s are still betting but I figured I just had to pay off here.
