Opinions on any street welcome. What do you think CO had? Do you think UTG+1 was chasing a flush?

[Tosh]

I think its fine. CO had 22?

[Riposte]

I would only preflop raise KQo in late position if everyone folded to me. I think you have the best hand so the cap and 3-bet are good.

CO had trip queens, UTG+1 two pair or flush?

[DMBFan23]

I am also curious about the pre flop raise, is this standard? I would raise KQs but not KQo

I can't say it's standard. But I'd raise.

Edit: 22 would be my guess as well.

[dfscott]

Looks standard to me. I don't see any reason to even think about slowing down here.

Really chief, that suprises me.. I'd definately NOT raise that PF, I'd just limp in.. I'd raise in a later position, but not EP..

In any case, as soon as you get that flop, put ALL the $$ you can in the middle, just like you did. If someone WAS chasing a flush, its too bad they didn't hit it.. I'm not expecting KK cuz of the PF action. Nice hand.

[bisonbison]

The crappier your opponents, the larger your raising edge with hands like KQo and AJo.

If there is no raise before me, I'm raising KQo over 90% of the time. Only a tight player limping UTG or something like that may slow me down.

[bisonbison]

Tight player limps UTG at a party .5/1 table. UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, your action...

you limp? Not good.

[DMBFan23]

I'd fizzold.

[bisonbison]

I'd fizzold.

KQo is waaay too good to fold here.

Ranking: Raise/Call/Fold - 1/2/3.

[Surfbullet]

Everything looks great... I raise pf in this situation and don't give it a second thought.

I guess the tight player in, plus the 2 callers, plus not great position, leans me toward the fold. if I'm first in and not in EP, then I'd raise. should I be playing this more in EP?
