Can I borrow your skirt? KQs...

[Sam T.]

Comments appreciated... I should have raised at some point, but I'm weak-tight.

3 bet preflop. Drive out any Ax crap.

I would. One thing that concerns me is that K/Q overcards may be a li;' dirty, but I would cap it anyways.

[afk]

Ok. Assuming you cap the flop and he bets into you on the turn, do you raise? And call down if he 3-bets?

I take it this how kids today say, "I agree"? I'm off to listen to my Sinatra 78s.

Was my call-down after the turn reraise correct? Or do I fire back when the king falls?

No I would call it down. Beacause the flop was not 3-bet two pair is not out of the realm of possibilty.

EDIT: A raise would be right, somehow i forgot about the flush-draw!! God damn work is distracting me /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey Sublime:

I think cold calling preflop is the play here (if you expect more to follow), not 3 betting. KQs plays super multiway, so you do not mind callers. I would not try to isolate or semi-isolate a UTG raiser with KQ unless I knew he was a weak raiser.


(boy, I am being contrary today, aren't I. /images/graemlins/grin.gif )

Rico-

You wouldnt cap this flop?

[Raiser]

I like your play. I probably would've capped the flop. With 2 opponents it would be a borderline value cap with just the flush draw. And I would suspect that at least some of your overcard outs are clean making this a +EV raise.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong. This is the type of bet/raise that I'm trying to improve on.

I would with 3 opponents, but not with just 2. I don't think that capping is terrible though....it might even get you a free card on the turn.

I agree with you. If only for the flush potential it is worth it.

LOL, I go from weak/tight to aggressive on a hand to hand basis.

[bakku]

I like capping the flop here with 2 opponents along for the ride and position. You may even be able to buy a free card if the turn misses you. If he bets into you again on the turn when the K falls I'd probably just call down because getting 3-bet would suck, but I'm betting if checked to.

I agree 100%. Also, he has represented an overpair, and you do not want him to fold his TT-QQ, but rather collect an extra river bet from him.
