I was pretty new to the table, so no reads.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $1. Hero calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls, MP2 calls. Flop: (10 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, SB calls, BB folds. Turn: (6.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, SB calls. River: (9.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, SB folds. Final Pot: 11.50 BB My main question is if I played this too straight-forward. Should I have attempted a checkraise on the flop? Turn? The single bet really isn't protecting my hand in that pot, but if I leave it up to the pre-flop raiser to bet out, there are two people trapped between us so raising doesn't protect me at all against them. Checkraise the turn? But I also don't want this to get checked through. Just not sure what my best line here is. |

I raise this pf every time.
You don't need to "protect" your hand, you're betting for value here. A flop c/r is fine though. Either way, I don't think that it makes that much difference. |

Raise preflop. No need to get fancy with the check/raise...just bet.

With the relative position of the pf raiser, protecting your hand here would be near impossible. Just bet out and hope for the best, and the hand plays itself.

raise preflop, the rest is fine. Don't get fancy for no reason.

I like it except that I would raise this preflop.

Everyone saying to raise KQo UTG PF. Even with horrible position?
What about in the blinds, still raise KQo PF? -G |

Raise pf, eh? I suppose I'm still stuck in the mindset of the Crypto crazy tight games where if you raise KQo UTG, you're either getting the blinds, or getting called/raised by something that has you dominated.
Villain doesn't show 99, MHIG. This same villain limp re-raised 99 UTG awhile later. When I had KK in the BB. That was a nice hand. |
