Raise it.

[Brad1970]

I raise to see where he is or maybe I can take it here. If all he has is K's, you got him. Be wary of the spade flush. There is only 1 spade out.

every thought in this post contradicts each other. also, "raising to see where you're at" is by far the most misunderstood and useless concept in poker ever.

see sixth, if he bets seventh you can probably fold unimproved.

How so? You don't ever bet to see what the other guy will do?

You'll fold kings up on the river for 1 bet? That's pretty weak if you do.

He has Ks up on 5th. I don't think its 5s full or fold the river here.

I don't know if I like our second pair enough to raise though. Who knows what the guy with the 9 door has though so it could be worth trying to get him out. I'm not sure he has enough to even worry about it though (maybe chasing a dead flush draw? Possibly pocket aces that he slowplayed? More likely some lower big pair that you are beating though.)

Watch out, the pros are going at it!!!!

[cgrohman]

I like our second pair enough to raise. HE oculd havce started with a low draw or a three flush. Bump it.

[adanthar]

whoops, totally missed the 5's pairing, lol. of course it's a raise, it's just a value raise.

'raising to see what the other guy will do' is meaningless. he 3 bets - congrats, you've seen what he's done! yay!
