Yep. I think it means he likely doesn't have a king, but he's interested.

Betting flop 1/2p - 3/4p for protection / value
Isn't this too big? Building a large pot here doesn't seem great. We could already be crushed, half the deck are scare cards, our equity is not great when called, a sticky opponent is showing interest behind us, another sticky opponent in there too.
I usually bet like 1/3 pot when I can get away with it (villians not going to play back at me) because I feel we need to get called wide to not be value owning, can maybe get AJ,QJ,JT to fold (but maybe fish call with those hands anyway!). Otherwise I usually check, see when opponents do, mostly going for the delayed c bet on favorable turn cards if checked to.
