Re: (stud8) how best to handle 4th st?
I think that if you check, the 2,5 is usually going to bet, not the King. Even if it worked out and it checked to the King that bet, the low-draws are not likely to fold.
You're behind both ways, so I don't think it checking through "costs you anything." I think a free card would be a fine outcome.
That said, I think you are unlikely to get a free card, and since you have enough to call, I would just bet out.
I would hate to be the King in this spot. I would be very tempted to fold a pair of Kings in this spot. There is no way I'm betting them if it checks to me.
