Default Re: QQ K on board decision

[ QUOTE ]

I dont like betting because where will it get us? He's never going to fold, if he calls its even worse than raising (smell a monster?), and if he raises us we just have to calldown till we're beat.

By check-raising we're putting the same money in, but taking control of the hand. Cheap showdown is very juicy.

Cheap showdown is very juicy, but getting 3-bet on the flop would be a very bad thing.

A bet would represent a K to people who don't have one, and they'd fold. If I got raised, sure I'd call down, but it only cost me 2 on the flop to find out that villain has a hand worth raising.

Check/raise it would cost me 3 for the same information. If villain had really had a hand, this would have been expensive. Since he didn't, it looks real good, but I don't think I'd play it this way.
