Default Re: Stuck with overcards - Boring hand

I could not call here because I cannot beat even an Ace high bluff.

ERFE - Easiest River Fold Ever.
He's called you on every street and came firing out at the end. He's either a complete maniac or he has a hand.

I don't mind the turn bet, but one difficulty is that if your opponent does have an ace, he's not folding it, now that he also has a wheel draw.

This is the key factor. If a 7 turns, I like the turn bet. With the wheel draw, hero doesn't have any fold equity unless he's planning to bet the river on a blank (which just seems to be too expensive for a pot this small).

Is the pre-flop raise after 2 limpers with K,Qo standard? If I remember OP correctly, no reads. Not being able to put limpers on a range I will sometimes limp along with this and hope to connect and gain bets later on - is that too weak?

Yes. If you are going to play KQo the less players in the pot the better. By limping you are allowing other hands behind you to limp, and the blinds get to see a cheap/free flop.

Yes.

KQ plays well against limpers because you're likely to have them dominated, whereas raisers will often have KQ dominated.

KQ in position against a couple of limpers is a wonderful situation. By raising, you have the best chance of getting that situation.
