TP-fold

[Peter_rus]

Button is straight-forward predictable player. Mp3 is tricky-laggish. Does sweat calling to river is better option?

I think checkraising the flop is better than betting out unless you think MP is likely to raise your bet for you.

i think raising with KJs utg at 15/30 pp is a mistake, you are too easily dominated, and those games are very aggressive.

Big surprise.

I think it's borderline and as i suppose i play postflop better than major part of opponents i like raising it as well as KQo,KTs and 77. They brought me 0.11bb/h after 250 times they occured in first 3 early positions so i think im doing fine and maybe even can add some more hands to raise.

Bingo, this is exactly what I would have done. Otherwise, I'd be forced to call down because I don't necessarily believe the button's flop raise. However, if I check-raise him and he 3-bets, I know I'm likely drawing thin and can dump it on the turn.
