Re: KQ not suited - You have no idea just how powerful I am
 

My guess is Kx of some kind, but I feel lost.

What were the results?

If an unknown player smooth calls on that flop when you make a big bet, wouldn't you give them credit for something that beats KQ?

why not take a free card/induce a bluff if you're always beaten when your flop underbet is called?

agreed, check through on turn and call river.

Holy crap, how did this thread get bumped? It is old. I don't remember the results, let me look...

Oh, haha, found it.

I raised to 104 on the river and he called and showed AJ for the nut straight.

calls and loses to a straigt?

That's a terrible raise. The only hand you are likely to get called by that you beat is KT, and if he had that he probably would have raised himself.

if you fold this river and make a profit doing it, you should not be playing in those games

"However, why is everyone getting so up in arms about my bet on the turn?"

This is my first no-limit post as I am a limit pro, but I read Greensteins book and he talks about making a bet on the turn to represent a minimal amount of strength so that you can fold to a raise. You say you would rather bet 32 and fold an not risk $50, but maybe the problem others have is that your bet is small and that its not only easier to call but might set you up for a move.

That said, you think you got all the info you need to fold to a turn check-raise from this players flop call given the board and you knowledge of the player and his of you and such. I can see that too.

Here is why I decided to check out NL...from my second time playing...

Live NL hand I played while waiting for a limit game. KT free play BB. $10 in pot 3 players. Flop J high, checked around. Turn 9. Checked around. River Q. SB checks, I bet $10. Button raises all in $300. SB goes all-in $300. SB shows T8 and says nuts. Button has Jacks-up.

KQ not suited is powerful, but does she know just how powerful it is?!??! What do I do on the river? Can anyone justify folding here?

This is a joke, right? If you fold this, give up on No Limit.
