$100 live spread limit, how's my flop line?

[SumZero]

2-2-4 blind structure full table.

Stack sizes were about:

Button $88
SB $181
BB $60
UTG $900
Hero $250
MP $250
LP $250
CO $100

UTG is loose and lucky; Button, MP, and SB are solid; CO is an idiot (just last orbit called a good sized all in bet with 47o pre-flop).

Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in EP. UTG limps, Hero limps, 2 folds, CO limps, Button raises to $15, SB calls, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero sees CO counting out the call and calls, CO calls.

Flop ($64 post rake): K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)

SB checks, I bet $30, CO called, Button moved all-in for $73 total, SB calls $73, I re-raise to $173 total...

So ignoring the loose limp preflop, how's the post flop play?

Preflop is obviously whatever.

Bet more than 1/2 pot on the flop. If $173 is enough to put SB AI then that's good. Otherwise put him AI.

$173 is the maximum bet for me there, as it is a raise of $100 which is the table limit bet amount [and also the maximum table buy in] (california pseudo-NL), but it is just barely enough to put SB all-in.

Some people were suggesting an alternate line of flat calling the button all-in and waiting for the turn to bet $100 on non-diamonds and presumably check behind or fold on diamond turns since a likely SB hand was the diamond draw.

I like it. I hope Button doesnt have KK though.

also, i dont care if CO and SB were both counting out their chips. this is a crazy preflop call.

Result was CO folded, SB called the ~$93 more he had. Button didn't show but very likely had AK based on table talk and him showing his friend. SB had A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for the nut flush draw. I was a 2:1 favorite over SB when all the money went in, but SB had the pot-odds to call my last $100 raise. A diamond turn and brick river meant SB took the $499 pot.
