I'd just coldcall preflop. I think the rest is fine.

I responded in another thread today ( cold calling (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2023008&page=1&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=&fpart=2&vc=1) ) about possibly 3-betting KQs and mid pairs after a handful of cold callers and EP raise.

Am I wrong abot 3-betting KQs here?

nah, don't reopen the betting. it *might* be correct to cap an EP/MP limp-reraiser if you raised a bunch of limpers in LP.

the limpers hands are likely to be a tad weaker than cold-callers' range. also, the LRR is probably less likely to have you dominated than a straightforward EP raise. i think SSH does this with ATs in one example.

I'd coldcall with both KQs and 88 in that situation (same goes for 99). I'd be more likely to 3-bet if the raise came from later position and there were less callers trapped in between.

KQs is a great hand, but I'd rather see a flop and feel it out from there. If 3-betting KQs is an error it isn't a huge one, but I prefer coldcalling and seeing a flop. I just don't feel that my hand has a significant edge over the number of UTG raising hands I'm seeing.

If I raise a bunch of limpers, especially with position, and one of them LRR's me (and no one folds), I'm capping KQs close to 100% of the time.

I liked 3 betting here to build a giant pot with a great multi-way hand on the button. It also ties me to the pot and ensures that I have the odds to stay till the river with chances like a gutshot or backdoor flush draw. It also made calling two small bets cold on the flop more palatable.

I thought I wasn't too far off in how I played it...thanks for the comments.

Results:

UTG has Ad Kd (two pair, aces and tens).
UTG+1 has Ah 9d (two pair, aces and tens).
MP2 has Qs 2s (flush, ace high).
Hero has Qh Kh (straight, ace high).
Outcome: MP2 wins 43.25 BB.

3-betting for this reason is never correct. Don't 3-bet to tie yourself to the pot, ever. It's terrible.
