The problem with leading out here is you will be pot committed so any bet may as well be a push.

I can't imagine that anyone with the K would bet here (if there is ever a time to slow play a hand this is it) so I would probably check here as you are vulnerable to any PP higher than yours (which although not likely is possible).

If it gets checked to the turn and a blank hits I may then think about pushing, but that would be read dependent.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

bah, you are ahead more often than behind. bet 400 and make them fold, or call with bad odds. You should usually take it down, and even if raised, should fare relatively well. You don't want a couple overcards drawing out on you. Most bigger pairs would have raised preflop. This is a damned good flop for you.

What's a blank? 2,3 or 4?

I push pre-flop. I don't know if that's best, but you're so short and it's a huge (relatively) pot. You're a long way from ITM.

FWIW I think a 400 bet gets more folds than a push. It's like "come play with me".

So, what hands push over this bet? A8+, 22+,Kx? But JJ-AA raise pre-flop.

Board: Kh Ks Kd
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 41.0023 % 38.90% 02.10% { 5d5h }
Hand 2: 58.9977 % 56.90% 02.10% { JJ-22, A8s+, K2s+, A8o+, K2o+ }


44-22: 96%
66-TT: 3%
Ax: 70%

Easy call.

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 I push here, you are short stacked and there is a decent chance you have the best hand.
BTW with your stack I would consider pushing preflop
