I'm in the BB with KQo in a $4-$8 loose-passive game.
Six players limp to me and I limp as well.
Flop is Kc8c3h
I bet out and get a MP caller and the button raises. I stupidly think he has two-pair and I just call. The MP calls as well.
Turn is [Kc8c3h] Qd
Now I got two-pair. Big smile on the inside, and I decide to check-raise. The MP checks and the LP checks as well. Oh crap, he doesn't have two-pair, he was buying a free card.
The river is [Kc8c3hQd] 6c
Great! I give him a free card and he gets the flush on the river. So I just check, as I know what is coming. The MP checks and the LP checks. The MP had 78s and the LP had 89s but neither had clubs. I have top two-pair and the only bet I made was on the flop.
I suppose the LP raised on the flop to see if I really had the King or if I was just representing the King. Not a bad bet because if I didn't have a king I would have folded. I have no clue why the MP called his raise.
In any event, this hand reminded me to be a little more careful about giving away free cards.
