One part of me said he was bluffing, maybe having a pair or two. Since if he did have the straight, why bet so high ? But then again, ppl play WIERD sometimes, specially if theyr from party poker...

What u guys think ? pussy play or good fold ?

Good fold IMO. Any read?

He prbly had the K, and that's an expensive price to pay to fill up.

Good fold. He had the king and was hoping by betting hard you'd read it as a bluff and pay him off. I'd say it's much more likely that he did have the king than that he didn't.

Anyone bet the flop here?

I think I would bet this flop about 50% of the time. It's a crappy flop for you with 2 overs ... but if you were leading pre-flop, maybe you're still ahead now.

He probably had AK and loved to draw to the straight for free, fearing you had AQ, QQ, or TT.

Yes, I'd bet that flop. Rep a stronger hand than you have, and even if you're called you have outs (though just four of them - the kings).

Id do it in a heatbeat if it was checket to me, but with him checking my relatively big preflop raise I just didnt couldnt get myself to do it =D
