KQs (6max) - I cap PF, and butcher it post-flop

I'm not, just pointing it out. Didn't know if you saw it or not.

I'm not sure about capping pf with KQs... Since SB and BB both called, there might be some value to it, but if your hand is dominated, it's no good unless you think that you can make CO fold a better hand by taking command.

On the flop, I would bet for three reasons:
1. You capped pf, showing more strength than you actually have.
2. Your read on your opponents was that they where mostly weak tight. If you make some or all of them fold, they are probably making a mistake.
3. The pot is huge. If CO would raise you, he might drive SB and BB out, which is probably ok given the pot size, but then you're mostly hoping he's got 99-JJ... If CO would fold, great! You then got the button, and might take a free card if both SB and BB stays with you.

Since you didn't bet the flop, I don't see much good in betting the turn. Sometimes however, I have noticed that I get more respect from my opponents when I check a flop that missed me (after raising pf). They seem to believe that I'm slowplaying some big pair... If they are that kind of opponent, betting the turn might be OK...

On the river, I think you have to bet. Your hand will be best approximately 99.5% of the time, but I think there are many hands he will check beind, after trying to push you out on the turn. He might bet AK for value, but then he might not call your c/r.

i got it. sorry to distract the thread, i think this is an interesting hand. i've already stated my thoughts- good flop check, good turn call hopefully good river bet/call.

*grunching*
Preflop: Its ok, Although i dont cap KQs due domination from premium(AK/AQ hands).

Flop: I bet the flop, Call a raise.
Turn: Call but you may have Equity Edge here if they both call.
River: Check/Call i suppose. Pity FH is likly.

Nice hand.

--------------------------

After reading the responses i suppose free turn card is ok, Maybe im just to aggressive.

3-handed (especially with SB open folding), there is no way someone has a full house. bet that junk.
