I don't like the call the first time through, I owuld have raised it. I am not sure about your 3-bet after someone behind you raised it though, but it seemed to give you comman/control
The rest of the hand I would play the same.

[Sykes]

Pre-flop: Either fold or raise pre-flop, I vote for raise.

Flop: Horrible, Raise the flop. There is a straight draw and a flush draw there.

He is in MP with an offsuit Broadway hand, in a .5/1, WHY is he raising here? He doesn't have the best hand, he isn't going to buy the button,(Not with so much cold donking at this level) etc. Can we just go with SSHE here and limp?

[MrWookie47]

The call/3bet is FPS, dude. Just raise at the first opportunity. It's better for hand protection.

I don't get your flop action...

Pre-flop - Raise (depending) or fold
Flop - Raise to the first bet

[Buckmulligan]

Ya, why are we not raising this flop?

[Pocket Trips]

all day long whenever i get a hand the minute I show any aggression either pre or post flop everyone folds... but once i see i wil get action on this hand on the flop i decide to come out of hiding

Move tables or show aggression with more holdings. The adjustment should never mean play -EV poker.

KJo is not a great hand in a full ring game. In this position go for a raise if you think that you can get ppl to fold. Otherwise fold.

Not raising the flop is a big mistake I think. I am not sure about the 3-betting since you don't have the best kicker and you are not going to make anyone to fold. In fact you give the odds to any kind of hand to stay in the pot and redraw you. And you run the risk of getting capped by a flopped set. The rest is fine. Just pray that your hand holds. If you are ahead that is.

I would have raised the flop at the first opportunity.

If you had done that and been called all round, I would then agree with your turn and river play.
