    I probably call because I like big stacks, as you say EV seems neutral. I would lead more if you are betting, I can't really see any reward in this amount. 7x may even call, certainly the flush draw and any K will.

    I would rather check flop and push over any bet, free card is fine too. If you check raise a weak Kx it's a tough spot for them, you can have anything from the BB. Anything worse should insta fold.

    If I added it up right, you need to call off your remaining 3800 for a chance to win about 6200. Giving you about 1.6 to 1.

    The best you can give yourself here is 8 outs. You need closer to 2:1 here. I fold. I also check that flop.
