Without reads, I bet out 1/3rd to 1/2 the pot.You have the nut flush redraw, and the worst they are going to put you on is a Ace with your preflop raise. If they can't beat aces or the flush, they are folding. Position is a lovely thing.

I bet out pot! I find out RIGHT THERE if they got an Ace As sick as it sounds.. the least im betting is half the pot... and i'm probobly putting in atleast 3/4 of a pot bet.

I think I'm weak...unsuited, I usually play limp-along here in NL.

An ace should check/raise a 1/3rd to 1/2 the pot out of spite. I'm with Jayson... I'm potting that bad boy. Fold equity, position, pot equity, yadda yadda yadda. Bet with purpose. If they call and check again, take the free card.

It's a raise only because nobody else raised and we're on the button. This is an EASY fold if someone else raised. Gotta get rid of that limit mentality that K-high is necessarily ALWAYS behind in a field of hands, because position and fold equity matter more in no limit.

The funny part is that I'm actually quite apt to raise this in limit.
