KQs on button - isolation 3-bet gone wrong
If the others had paid any attention they must have thought I was a rock, my VP$IP so far was 12%. I think at least BB and MP had noticed. BB was kind of passive and loose pre-flop and seemed pretty straightforward post, if he called he had decent pair+kicker/draw. MP was tighter and open-raised more. SB was hard to get a read on but he was extremely loose pre-flop.

I just call preflop.
Flop and turn were perfect. Bet the river-- time to use that good position to value bet. |

Why not bet the turn when your King appears?
I too would bet the river. |

Because my opponent's most likely holding that he raised preflop and called a bet on that flop with is a bad ace.
That changes when my opponent does not bet the river. Now I think he has a small pocket pair or nothing, and my king is the best hand so I bet. |

Wrong opponent. PFR folded, SB called 2.5 cold preflop. [/ QUOTE ] Right, I didn't really expect him to fold. If he and one of the others called I figured that I would probably be drawing to some runner-runner hand. But since he is the one most likely to have cold-called with any ace I didn't want to put in more money and he was passive so it isn't certain he would bet the river with an ace even after I checked through the turn. Seeing the river with hopefully only SB getting 12:1 seemed like a good gamble. |

I think betting the turn and river is crucial.

I think betting the turn and river is crucial. [/ QUOTE ] Care to elaborate? To me it looks like I'm either way ahead or way behind but since he is the only one who called the flop I have as good a chance to win as I was going to get. I'm not saying you are wrong though... I did post the hand after all. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: KQs on button - isolation 3-bet gone wrong
Bet the turn and be done with it.
They could have a medium pocket pair or maybe 89 suited. Maybe they'll muck Ace rag suited if it's your lucky day. I would not bet the river if called on the turn as I am not expecting anyone to lay down an Ace, and AKJ on board will make it tough for a medium pair or 89 suited to call. |
