KQo steal
You're the button with KQo, and raise. The sb folds, but the bb (a semi-loose and fairly aggressive player) calls.
The flop comes: 268r Scenario 1: bb bets, you do what and why? Scenario 2: bb checks, you do what and why? Edit: I'm going to play some cards. I'll respond to response later tonight.

[ QUOTE ] Scenario 2: bb checks, you do what and why? [/ QUOTE ] I bet because it's my best and least expensive chance at winning the pot. If I check, he'll almost certainly lead the turn and I'll probably have to fold. But betting only costs a small bet and it will take the pot down often enough to be worthwhile.

Re: KQo steal
Hey Qtip,
I almost alwaysw smooth call in situtations like 1), I find I'm less likely to get free cards against this player. I also very often smoothcall made hands and raise the turn, so I dont see this to be a problem with my shania or anything either. I will raise the overcards if I have two backdoor draws (makes the free card worth more, and it's less "expensive" if I get 3-bet because i have more equity)...conversely I will also go to war with AA/KK and any set. in situation 2, I often bet because I likely have the best hand, and when he does not decide to c/r I often get another option on the turn of bet or check, and I like having that option...in addition when my overcard comes on the turn, he is less likely to put me on it. ok I'm off to enjoy my good 5/10 session - it's been a while since i've had one of these

What would you do if you knew his hand was 89o? [/ QUOTE ] I want to see how people answer this. The answer is very easy, but I'm sort of intrigued to see how some people approach it.

Re: KQo steal
If you know he has 89 Fold. Easy fold. I don't know if its right to raise if you could get the free card every time but you won't. The pot is laying you 4.5-1 and you have 6 outs which is 6.8-1 against making your hand. Plus if this player has any idea whats going on SH, you will get a free card a very small amount of the time.
