Comments on previous streets are ok too.

I didn't feel good about 2 cold calls preflop, but i was getting a million:2.

On the turn I can't feel too good about my Q after it was capped by a good player before the flop, but the pot is big and getting bigger. What's your action?

The table was great, no one except the pf raiser (UTG+2) had any idea what was going on. Preflop raiser was tight and aggressive.

Preflop and flop are fine; you have a clear turn fold.

I hate getting trapped like this preflop,
but you're getting crazy odds.

You'll need a strong hand to win, and top pair on the turn isn't going to do it.

Nice laydown on the turn.

You play live in Austin any?

It's a tough spot you're in there. But that comes with the territory of cold calling with KQs.

You have to raise the flop if you are staying in. Try and clear up some outs so a K or Q has more chance of holding up. You might also buy a free card.
