Default Re: One hand, one preflop question

Am I the only one that doesn't like the UTG limp with KTs?

With the flush and straight draws, KTs is a good hand for a multiway hand in a loose game, such as this one. Even top pair will occasionally win the hand.

KTs should definitely not be folded pre-flop.

I usually bet the turn in hand one.

I think the 3bet in hand 2 is just fine. The only thing I would worry about is a very aggressive villian postflop.

Default A question on hand one.

Why not lead the flop? Are we counting on MP3 to bet the flop and then the hero traps everyone for two bets? If say the button bets does the hero raise that too? That would force everyone who calls to make a large mistake. On the other hand, if the hero bets and it is raised then the pot could become two or three handed which would clean up the king outs. The only advantage I see to checking is when the hero is way behind (up against KQ, Aces or Kings) and needs the flush to win.

What does everyone else think?

Exactly. Since MP3 raised preflop, you can usually expect the flop to be checked to him, and for him to bet. It's true that sometimes that doesn't happen, but it's generally the pattern and should happen often enough for the checkraise to work.
