yeah, raising PF would probaly be best, but what can you do on the turn other than call to try and hit your draw?

And why raise this flop? I would rather have customers than clean up outs. The pot is small.

raise preflop.

Turn and river look good.

Raise preflop.
Ok flop play.
What do you think you should do instead of calling the turn?
Nice river...

Calling is a good option, but I'm pretty sure we can raise this, not to clean outs but because of our equity.

3 outs for the nuts and 1 out for Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] discounted sligtly for the flush potential.
4 outs for a 1 card straight, discounted to 3 for the risk of splitting and 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] puts 3 to a flush.
3 outs for a K, discounted to ~1.5.

Total ~8.5 outs and ~33% equity. We have to players in the pot and might get even more caller. With the chance of them giving us a free card on the turn I don't dislike raising here. Plus it might buy outs.

Mmmh.

Thinking about it, I like myself on the turn too.
Just don't like that card or getting bet into.

Bet preflop would've been in place...

this hand is played fine actually

No problem with the hand - I call with KJ - it's not THAT strong of a hand to raise unless your 1st to act. THEN raise. KJo can be dominated pretty easly.

I'd raise the flop -- to try and get it 3 handed. Everything else looks perfect. Simple hand played well. Dont change how you play this turn.

Preflop was a good call. If suited possible raise but I like calling KJ. The raise on the flop was good. I could of gotten you a free card and eliminated a player or two. It didn't but now you are close on outs to call the turn. The hearts are no good and I would devalue the 7's giving the possiblilty of QJ.If you hit your K alone it is likely to already be beat due to MP2 leading after you raised the flop. You can't be beat on the river but you have a big chance to split the pot. The numbers don't add up on the turn.
