A hand that's too cheap to raise.
He's short so, "well, get it in, I might have fold equity."
I just wrote a tonne about this hand and realised I played it pretty terribly: his range consists in 9x, two pair and maybe strong-x 5x and 6x type hands, with the odd pocket pair thrown in, so i've got a little but not a great deal of showdown value.
It's like almost an instant thing - he shows weakness on a turn card I might represent so i'll just stick it in and expect him to fold a lot. But he's probably not folding 9x type hands come to think of it. However:
Can I raise if the flop is 2-tone? In the hope that he calls without the right price to do so or if not to simply protect my hand when i'm ahead more often?

the K hits his range harder than it hits yours imo.
