I figured him for 10/J actually on the turn, which is another nice limping hand.

If he actually had JT then he played decently, I'm not a fan of his line with AQ though.

Because he only gets this many chips out of me when I have exactly KQ, and he loses a lot when I have Q8, Q9, JT, 22, 88, 89.... (I play QJ differently here).

Edit: I'm not saying he gets zero chips out of me when I have QJ or QT, just not as many as when I have KQ.

Default Re: KQo in the BB

If you bet the flop like this, I like to check the turn. Maybe you will see a free card and it is so hard to tell what he has since he limped and then flat called.

I try to see the rest of the hand as cheaply as possible to get a read for how villian plays. Given that he limped and then flat called, hopefully if he bets, it won't be for that much.

That is what I was thinking, but if he has me beat he's not checking behind on the turn.

It's possible he will bet less than half pot on the turn but I would expect unlikely.

Yeah exactly, Villain is way ahead or way behind.
That's why you call the hand down.
What would you have done with AQ here?

What about raising before the flop? since ur opponent limps in with hands like K5s, maybe u eliminate some of the possibilities and make ur job a little easier after the flop?

I don't advocate raising out of position with K/Q offsuit.

How is my job made easier when I have to play a big pot out of position?
