FWIW, afterwards he told me he had KQs.
In the long run, what is best, call, fold, push?

Nice hand.

[Kips Bay Kid]

does he have a history of overbetting the pot? What does deep in your title mean? These stacks do not look that deep.

[vanHelsing]

[vanHelsing]

Good fold. The only reasonable hand you're against here that you're beating is KQ. I'd expect to see a set or a straight here much more often than KQ. Calling this bet is definitely -EV IMHO.

And BTW, make your standard raise more than $3 at the .50/1 level. People will call with very marginal holdings for a 3X BB raise, so make it $5 or $6.

this was 0.25/0.5 /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Whoops, sorry, then the converter's a little screwy. It says $ BB at the top of your post. Then in that case, everything looks fine.

Don't you want them to call your raises with trash? You're not going to make money by stealing the blinds.

My point was that AQo isn't much of a drawing hand and doesn't play well in multi-way pots. By raising more pre-flop, you will be able to get rid of marginal hands like 97s so that you don't get busted on a Q97 board.

Also, by having a higher PFR, when you do hold monsters, AA, KK, etc, your hand will be better disguised since a $5 bet could indicate a wide range of hands.

PS, VanHelsing mentioned that this was a $.5 BB game, not a $1 BB as I thought. I don't think that anyone would disagree with me that a 3X BB raise is small for any game.
