Re: KQo against a PF 3-Bet
I always found that raising KQo in early position is bad at 3/6 and below (SSHE agrees). If you get re-raised, you're likely looking at AK/AKs, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, or TT. Assuming you don't improve, you lose to all of these. If you hit your K, you're only beating 15 hands: QQ (3 hands), JJ (6 hands), or TT (6 hands) and losing to 21 hands: AK (12 hands), AA (6 hands), or KK (3 hands). If you hit your queen, you're currently beating AK, but you can still be beaten if he spikes his ace.
So, getting 3-bet PF is ugly. Given that you should _fold_ KQo to any PFR, raising KQo early isn't the wisest choice.
That said, you should bet out on the flop. Even if you're behind right now, you have up to nine outs to make the second-nut flush.
The turn check is totally correct as is the river bet.
Just...don't PFR KQo in early position. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
