Re: Help on a KQo hand from BB
If you fold this in the big blind getting 4.5:1 you are throwing away money. The only hands you are more than a 4.5:1 dog to are precisely AA and KK.
Furthermore, his flop raise does not necessarily mean you are beaten. Many players do not like to be donked into after raising pre-flop "You're betting into me, bitch? I raised preflop. If you had it, you would check-raise me, etc." Furthermore your bet heads up does not have to indicate top pair. You could have middle pair, bottom pair, a pocket pair, straight draw, all sort of things. In which case a hand like AK or AJs would be correct to free-card you. Furthermore, you could be chopping with another KQ. Even if you are behind, you still must call the raise, because you have outs against many hands that beat you, like AA, KK, AQ, plus the non-negligable chance that you're opponent will check behind on the turn.
