Re: KQo Checkup
[ QUOTE ]
Postflop, I hate your flop move. You make a critical error by raising the flop, and it will cost you the pot a lot of the time. Call this flop bet and raise any safe turn card. When you raise the flop, you offer the players to your left 5.5:1 on a call, and will inflate the pot such that the turn there will be no way to shut out draws with 6-7 outs or more, which is to say most draws.

This is madness, pure madness. One of the easiest flop value raises in the history of poker. Why even play hands like KQ if you can't value bet/raise a Qxx flop?
Don't worry about "giving flush draws improper odds". You can't unless it's HU. Get their $$$ while they're drawing.
If button held the nut flush draw, he missed an easy flop 3-bet anyway...
I thought Hero played this fine, though I can see an agrument for check-calling the river vs a tricky opponent if we really need to show down.
