Ok yes here I would cbet because it is such a natural thing to do on a K high flop. A high is a bit of a different kettle of fish especially being in position, but I'm willing to cbet this.

Typically I'm Cbetting unless I can find a reason NOT to. This is a difficult flop which may have helped eitehr opponent. One certaintly has Ax, but you would be fortunate if the other did too.

If you are Cbetting I would be asking myself, what am I going to do on the turn. if the bet/check to me. If it is check/fold, then check and wait for turn action.

Without specific reads I could go either way. The answer to this question is entirely read dependent.

This is an interesting hand because of how coordinated the board is. People are going to call you with anything this early in a SNG. Then, if a scare card comes, you have to let it go. But they could also have a K with a weak kicker and decide to just call you down. Either way, I like just checking here and hoping to get a cheap river. That way, if a scare card does come, they will only bet a small amount hoping to induce a call and you will lose less chips than a bet on the flop and possibly one or two more bets. Just check and hope for a Q on the turn.
