KQo button large pot

[Justin A]

Villain is fairly new to the table. I'm six tabling and haven't played any hands against him so I don't have any reads.

Preflop: Hero is Button with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls.

Anyone just limp in here preflop?

Final Pot: 18 BB

Anyone not like calling the flop 3bet and raising the turn? Anyone fold to the 3bet?

I would probably cap the flop in this spot and then call down from there if he kept betting. I like your play better in a more multiway pot where you're trying to protect your hand but here with just the SB behind you a flop cap works fine. I definitely couldn't fold to the turn 3-bet as I see way too many unknowns get out of line with a weak TP or random draw. If you had a strong read and could fold to a turn 3-bet confidently then your line would have more going for it.

Thanks. I like your thinking a lot. He was in fact getting out of line with K8 and my hand is good.

I don't fold to a 3-bet here, but what might be one of my leaks is the inability to let a hand like TPGK go when I meet continued resistance..

Also, I like the pfr..
