Default Re: Making the read 3/6 live

I woulda guessed KQo, but Q4 makes sense, too.

Even if you flopped 2 pair with K4, you'd lead the turn on the grounds that LP might be on a flush draw, or else there's a fair chance you'll end up chopping anyway. You probably don't 3-bet the flop with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] because you don't want to face MP with 2 cold, and even if you did, the Q on the turn would be too tempting not to bluff at.

So, basically, the only hands you're checking here after bet/3-betting the flop are hands that just filled up, and are now hoping that LP is on a flush draw & catches on the river (or bluffs at the Q). And you're almost certainly raising preflop with KK or QQ.
