A lot slower than you do.

[Nottom]

Your bets are too big IMO. The river bet just seems nuts, but I'm sure he called with something you beat.

[willperkins]

To begin with, I would not have been in this pot. I would have folded KQo from early positon in the first level of play.

But lets say for arguments sake that I did as you did and limped in.

With that flop, I would have have led out with a bet of about t30 into the t55 pot. I fold to any raise and I check fold to any bet on the turn.

I am not about to involve anymore of my chips in level 1 with these cards and that board.

[SlackerMcFly]

Your "probe" bet of t45 that was called on the flop should give you an indication of his willingness to play.

He only called so he has a made hand (any K or perhaps 88+) or a draw like QT. Doubtful that he has an ace, but it's possible.

Since the turn misses you, it's either push hard or check. Pushing represents the Ace or AK to him (if he has it, then you are toast). If not, he will fold the TT and you win the pot. His push to your check is a fold by you IMHO here.

A t75 bet on the turn begs for a call. Be careful what you wish for. Since you only asked for advice on the flop, I won't go further.

Happy cards to you! Slacker

dude. its early, your hand is weak, he called your flop bet. its not a reflection of your penis to check the turn and river.

[Oluwafemi]

i would've raised pf 40-45. if it's the same two players in the hand calling, and they check the flop, i would then bet the pot 120-135. i'm looking to be shown strength via your Ace x or A K as early as possible. if your flop bet is called, that may tell you that you're up against a bigger hand--- more power to 'em.

[tigerite]

Raise preflop from one after EP? With KQo? Christ, I'm aggressive, but this is taking it too far.

Hero is in MP, not EP. 3 off the button isn't terrible position. Certainly ok to play KQo here, at least in my opinion, though folding is good.

I guess I normally fold here, but limping is fine, raising could work here.
