I don't really think implied odds comes far into your thinking here, in terms of whether to raise or not, I was merely pointing out that that's often one of the benefits of a high only hand (like a small pocket pair in holdem); they're easy to get away from if you miss, and can win decent sized pots when you hit!
Interesting stuff anyhow.

Turn call and river calls are straightforward, of course, and I don't mind your preflop raise. Personally, I don't raise high only hands, but with 5 limpers, position, and a premium high hand, you could do worse.

![[Jh]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jh.gif "The Jack of Hearts")
(5 players)BB checks, UTG+1 bets, folded to me, I call, BB calls.
Final Pot:
Obviously I loose
Let me take you though my thinking street by street.
Pre-Flop:
This table has been crazy loose pre-flop so I am expecting everyone to call my raise. I am thinking that if 7 people see this flop there is no way that I have less then 1/7th of the PE. Also building a pot to draw at later or stealing the button wouldn’t be bad.
Flop: 16.5 SB
Since the pot is getting large I really don’t expect anyone to fold to my raise. However it may earn me a free turn.
Turn: 14.25BB
I like the turn and really wished my free card play worked. However the pot is getting big and I now have 2 draws to the nuts so I call.
River: 19.25 BB
I think this is the most crying call I have ever made. I think it is almost impossible that my KK will hold up but I am getting more then 20:1 so I called.
Obviously the result wasn't what I was looking for but I think that I played it pretty well thought-out, what do you guys think?
