At a 5.50 he basically NEVER has a K so I would shove over and hope MP1 doesn't have one.

R U serious? Bet 300 on the flop and see what happens. You'll often take the pot down now which kinda sucks, get a middle pair to call sometimes, and sometimes you'll be crushed by kx. As played I would call since this looks like the typical button steal. Then I would shove any turn.

Thanks for the responses .... I don't often do this, but I wussed out and folded ... Almost everytime, I'll at least bet out on the flop and see if I get raised, or not, but for some reason, I just froze with two callers ... One caller pre-flop, and I think I just lead out ...

By checking the flop you induce a bluff. Not a bad idea on this board as long as you call it.

If you fold after inducing the bluff that you wanted, why not just lead here instead?
