Wierd line for him to have a K and not protect from FD....
Any thoughts?

I think you have to fold here unless you have a strong read. If he had a Kx type hand raising wouldnt really accomplish much 4 way on this flop apart from often getting the money in when he is absolutely crushed. There is more for him to consider then "protecting from flush draws". Also live players love to slowplay regardless.

Also in a live game 4 way, my standard would be not to c-bet this hand on this flop. I'd maybe bet a favourable turn if there was no further action.

I either like check on flop or 16 (probably 16) to avoid your river situation (big pot and unhappy to call half pot - because the pot is so big)
