Raise. T300 in the pot... I guess I push.
Calling on this board absolutely sucks. |

Do you lead the flop or check raise?

I would go over him 2-3X, so 300-450. Tell him u mean business, and if he has AK, more chips for u.

i like a check raise here because somebody surely caught a piece of that board and will bet it.

Re: KQ flops 2 pair, check raise?
That's a fairly co-ordinated board and it seems like they are all chasing straights and flushes to me, i'd be betting hard to protect my hand. No check-raise for me.
good luck |

Re: KQ flops 2 pair, check raise?
players always bet their draws. if you check and it's bet, the pot is being built before it gets back to you. you can stick in a much bigger bet because the pot has been built. this will make the draws pay more heavily.

[/ QUOTE ] Given that you have a king and a queen, it reduces the likely hood that somebody else hit a good hand here. Since it is a multiway pot, it is less likely someone will try to bluff. Given the draw-heavy board I think the best way to play this is to bet out initially. If someone else did get a piece of it, they might raise you and then you can push. If nobody got a piece of it other than a draw, you risk having it checked around and giving a free card. If someone has a draw, they might call you anyway. Betting out not only protects your hand, but maximizes the chances of getting all-in on the flop as well. |

I agree you just cannot call here. the board is really nasty. a 10 or a J gives them the straight draw, but on the plus side you might get a caller with something like AK. Better to push and get a little then let them draw and loose a lot.

Push and hit your 4 outer.
PS: Against certain players, although not in a 20+2 and you shouldn't even bother thinking about it, I would simply fold. |
