I'd 3-bet him preflop. I like your postflop play though the flop is close between raise and call

Hey, tell me what your three-betting standards are for this particular situation please? I think I have been playing KQo a little too softly here and I'm curious what other three-bets I might be missing.

Josh.,

I think that you've yelled at me before for bloating pots OOP in spots like this. Why would you 3-bet preflop? If I knew the limpers would fold I can see 3-betting.

I usually 3-bet this preflop, especially since you have position on the raiser. I'm also not sure I'd take my free card on the turn. Sure, you'll often be called down by a weak ace, but you're losing money from the smaller PPs and weaker Ks out there. Since you checked the turn, I would definitely bet the river when the flush hits, and then probably fold to a raise.

3 reasons:
1. you have position on the PFR
2. you face 2 limpers with 2 more bets. usually shorthanded limpers have weak hands and even semi-loose ones will dump them for 2 more. dead money is free money, and I'm jewish, and as we all know, jewish people love free money
3. the PFR has a 17 PFR which means that his range is wide enough that we're not necessarily dominated. we may even have him dominated.

none of these things are enough to make it a 3-bet, but together I think it's a 3-bet

I was going to say this, but this depends on reads, and I didn't know if the limpers were the types to fold to two more bets. This is like bluffing into three opponents -- it is geometrically more likely to fail. Still, folding even one limper is adding dead money, as you said.

even if you give each limper a 20% chance of folding, that's still pretty significant. dead money is like a freeroll. it can't beat you. at worst, you don't win it.

No one has mentioned the river. If it's checked, to you bet/call?

I play it the same postflop. Consider 3-betting the SB preflop if you can fold out one of the limpers.
