KQo in the BB

Calling is the new raising.

That said, I have no idea where you are in this hand...

Maybe checkraise the turn, and if he calls, check/fold the river. (The thought being that it makes the river very easy to play, and very likely costs you the same amount.)

Yah I have no idea where he is in this hand either.

I don't like c'ring the turn though since versus any standard raise in proportion to the pot your c'r is going to be a huge portion of your stack.

I'd check/call the river.

What about just a check/call on the turn?

Ugh. That might induce a bluff and we'd be back to square one.

Maybe I should check raise the flop, and if I get called I know I'm beat? I'm not that afraid of a card, most likely anyone who's behind is drawing to three outs.

I like it. I should CR the flop more often. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

No draws here. 3 opponents. TPGK.

I normally CR the flop and go from there. Might be a few too many chips to be putting in though.

Betting the flop here is fine, but I don't think betting the turn is fine either. You just don't know where you are if you bet the turn and get fired into on the river.

Damn, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how to play this hand.

Glad I wasn't alone. I think CR'ing the flop would definitely make the rest of the hand much easier.

I like the idea of using a flop CR with TPGK...

[lastchance]

But what happens when you are called? Do you fire into the turn, or do you check-call down?

I think that's actually probably the best line. Some kind of check-call, check-call, bet river line.
