Re: an Open-Raise w/ KQo Under-the-Gun
Open raising w/KQo I only recommend if you hold a strong image and you are in the right game where you know bad players behind you will call with lessor hands. I treat AJo the same way.
Flop: You played this perfectly. You have a gut-shot to the nuts getting 13:1 from the pot for your 11:1 shot. Turn: Bet out and see where you are at. Not betting here caused you to miss a bet on the river. Welcome to the forum, Joe Tall |

I agree, I think you need to be the turn. You got one of the best cards possible and probably have the best of it.

Pre-flop: I don't like it. Raise is my least favourite option. I'd fold slightly more than I'd call but it depends on the table.
Flop: Fine. Turn: Bet out here or a check-raise might be worth a go. Check calling doesn't really tell you anything. River: Your turn check-call means you may have missed a bet here. |

Agreed.
I'm guilty of deciding to check-call it down after seeing the 3bet and the flop and never re-calculated. |
