KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
I don't like the way I did this, particularly the river check felt kind of weak. But at the time my plan was raise the turn and check behind the river (and I executed that weak sauce flawlessly [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]) Flame on.
Reads are that UTG is a real buddylist type, limps with any two, calls down with any piece. BB I haven't seen got too much out of line, but he tends towards the overly loose and aggressive side.

Re: KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
UTG's play is strange. Many fish like to try that little aggression to check/raise crap that he did on turn/river. I But if he's as fishy as you say, bet for value.

Re: KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
I think it's rare that you'll have an opponent donkbet you here with the flush. Most likely he has a pair and picked up a flush draw on the turn, hoping to scare you out.
As for BB, if he ha a better hand than you, he sure isn't showing it. Nothing really gets there with the 7, I bet and fold to a check-raise. |

Really? We have 18.5 BB in this pot, I think I'd have to call the c/r

Re: KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
i agree i think you would have to call a C/R....but I still think a value bet is the proper play on the river.

Re: KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
The only check-raise I would call is if I bet, BB folded, and UTG raised.
If BB check-raises after just calling 2 cold, it's with a monster. If UTG check-raises a protected pot, I don't see how we can call. |

I agree, I thought we were addressing a UTG c/r, not a BB one.

Re: KQs vs. a 3 bet preflop
It's probably going to be pretty close with folding or calling any check-raise from UTG. I'm going to think about some more, but I initially thought what I posted earlier. Folding to a BB check-raise is obivous though, you're right.
I think it's most important that we bet the river and worry about the check-raise later if it comes. |

Looking back on this one, the river play was just pretty bad. i was really close to betting, but the villains' play during their time at the table was really peculiar, and it kind of spooked me into checking behind on this one. I think I had been c/r'd too many times tonight on the river and just plain wimped out. Thanks for everybody's input so far in this thread, too. I'll post results later if any are interested |
