KQo against a PF 3-Bet

I think it's more helpful to newbies if experienced players clarify information in SSHE rather than voice our valid opinions that may be contradictory to the text.

I dont agree at all.

The small stakes forum isn't for newbies. It's also where SSHE was born from. You won't find much contradiction to the text anyways. But we're not here to spoonfeed a book to people learning either.

I suppose I (and others) should note when we're posting for newbies, experienced players, or both

[/ QUOTE ]

If someone doesn't get it, they can always ask for a clarification. We always did in our many threads way back well before SSHE existed.

Funny you mention AJo. I play that pretty much the same as KQo.

Try telling that to the newbies. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But seriously, if that's the case, then I'll assume that all posters are experienced unless there's reason for us to believe otherwise.

This will save you hours in weeding through posts. The small stakes forum has always been the highest read/involved forum. Tons of great stuff has come out of it.

btw...Who did you think the beginners and micro forum were for?

I figured beginners posted here _as well_. I guess they only post here when they have a question to ask.

even if raising KQo UTG was a mistake, it wouldn't be the biggest one in this hand. the flop check-raise is going to cost you a lot of money. you let QQ, JJ, TT, or AQ off the hook and put your chips in getting the worst of it against AK, AA, and KK

I remembered that our opinions don't matter here because SSHE writes that it's practically even

[/ QUOTE ]

Opinions matter. SSHE is not the be all/end all of opinions on the forum. It doesn't begin and end with SSHE.

ESPECIALLY with respect to preflop decisions. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Anyways, the biggest problem players have with KQo is postflop.

Bernie,

What are the most common postflop mistakes you see with KQo?

Here's a few:

Hand protection (this is the prime one i usually see), value betting draws, continuing on when obviously beat without the odds to chase, calling down when obviously beaten (which can stem from poor handreading or poor player profiling).
