KQo OOP with bottom full house

Hero?

I put the villain on an ace b/c of the pre-flop raise, so I expected him to call the turn c/r. What is my river action? Anyone make a call here?

Re: KQo OOP with bottom full house
 

-3 bet PF
-bet/3bet the flop.
-if villian didn't cap my PF 3-bet or my flop 3-bet (if he raised your lead), then I would bet/3bet the turn.

You realize he is on the button right? His range is much bigger than Ax. I usually checkraise the flop, or lead the flop here, as it looks a lot less like a king than a turn c/r, which is the perfect opportunity for your opponent to release his hand. As for the river, I probably just check/call since all his hands have been counterfeited unless they contain an ace. As it were, I probably call the river cuz the pot is big and like I said all of his hands have been counterfeited so he may possibly be bluffraising something with no showdown value.

Oh yah, 3bet preflop.

hes not on the button, he was MP. Thats my mistake. Shitty hand translating.

Still you shouldn't put him on just an A. He could have a lot of things.

Re: KQo OOP with bottom full house
 

thats true, but my thinking is this:
If i c/r the turn, a QQ, JJ will fold
An ace will call
A king will 3bet (usually anyway)

my reasoning for not raising the flop is this: From my experience a player is more likely to call bets on later streets than without a made hand on the flop. If i raise the flop a hand like AJ or maybe even AQ would usually not continue, but betting or check/raising the turn allows me to gain an extra .5BB in the pot (excluding of course the 1/345 chance of running aces).

The problem is that you should have 3-bet PF. That changes the hand because then you lead out obviously on the flop. If he raises, you should 3 bet because you want to get maximum value out of a weaker K and don't want to risk a free card on the turn to a flush draw.

It's 2/4 - They probably won't.

Re: KQo OOP with bottom full house
 

my KQ coldcall out of SB is more of an adjustment to my play (or a leak). It usually puts me out of position with a weaker hand than my opponent.
EX Villain has AJ, I have KQ
Flop comes T43r
bet/call
the turn/river play becomes a chip spew, since im basically hunting for 6 outs without an ace.

KQs i 3bet.

He doesn't always have AJ though and you don't always miss the flop. If you 3-bet and the flop comes A-high, you'll get a lot of folds. I don't like a semi-CC here. If you think he's too tight of a raiser, just fold.
