Re: Play from the blinds: KQo
I'm not giving a cutoff's pf raise credit for AK every time. You're ahead here (probably up against a PP that is lower than KK or maybe A9).
Edit: Oops, I see he mini-raised pf. You're ahead. Push the turn. |

How about a value bet on the river? One of those way ahead way behind spots.
You bet 150 or something on the river (half blocking/half value) - sometimes he folds a better hand (rarely), pushes a better hand, calls with a worse hand. There is always the chance that he'll push with a worse hand, but there is also the chance that he bets big enough that you can't call on the river too. |

Hey scuba.... whats your thinking behind check/calling with top pair from the blinds?
No bet on the turn? No value/block bet on the river? |

The MTT'r in me wants to either
A: Check raise the flop and fold to a push, or B: Lead out the flop. How bad are these options? |

[/ QUOTE ] You play better players than I do Scuba... but where I play I'd get calls from mid-pairs and occassionally Ace high from bad players....on the river I mean... ...I think I see what you're thinking now though... Would you bet the turn if your top pair was lower than a King....Say if you had K9 for top pair w/your nine? |

Looks good I think. You know what a big fan I am of leading out but in this case it looks really good.
