KQs in BB

ntq816 · #1 03-17-2005, 07:16 PM

I was in $5+0.50 turbo tourney on Stars. I have just tripled up and now I’m the table leader by a good margin (t24k). Blinds are 200/400. UTG limps (t17k), CO pushes (t8k) and SB smooth calls (t15k). I look down and see KQs. Pot is t17k giving me 2:1 for the call.

There is no way I consider playing KQs for over 1/2 my stack with that type of action ahead of me. Unless I'm a short stack and I see a shot of tripling or quadrupling up this has to be a clear fold. My thoughts are you are getting 2-1 on your call and more than likely a 3-1 dog at best. You best hope here is they both have a pair JJ's or lower and UTG has crap. Co still has 20 BB and SB is also very healthy so you have to figure you are way behind here for them to put that many chips in. There is a strong chance you are drawing dead here.

Maintain your healthy stack and use those chips to steal with and bully some of the smaller stacks.

Edit - Easy fold.

I don't know about drawing dead, but you're probably in third place. Your also out of position against CO. Easy fold. (I'd fold AQs here.)
