I'm not folding yet.

I coldcall preflop without a read.

You also might have the best hand if BB has say Ax, and UTG has either AK or AQ.

A call seems reasonable.

You still have the best hand most of the time here. I 3 bet.

Agreed.

I also don't raise pf. I like CCing with more limpers/CCers, but this could be a fold to an UTG+1 raise.

Any reads on the players in the hand?

PreFlop: I'm not a big fan of re-raising with KQs, but I do like doing it from the button, that way you can (maybe) take a free card on the flop if you need it. Also, it can help you gauge if the original raiser how strong the original raisers hand is (most Micro players will re-raise AA or KK, so his call helps us rule this out).

Flop: You're on Auto-Pilot here. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Turn: You have to call here. Without a solid read on BB or UTG+1 I don't think you can raise, but you do have to call - the pot is gigantic and there is a very good chance that UTG+1 has AK or AQ and BB has Ax.

Our only major concern here (besides drawing dead to a boat) is that we are sandwiched between UTG+1 and the BB...if a raise war breaks out between them then we may wind up putting in a lot of bets when we are near dead. If BB re-raises and UTG+1 caps we have a really, really tough decision to make, but again the pot will be huge. Couple that with the fact that we are not drawing totally dead (but we do not have odds to draw to the RF obviously) I think I even call a cap.

BB is 38/0/0.71 fish
UTG+1 is 12.5/3.5/1.6 decent

I feel that full-house in that same place, but I've got to call this one. Some reads, even very general ones, on the 2 opponents would really help to make a better decision though, I think.

A royal is worth more than the money you collect for it IMO so even if you knew that you had 1 out, I'd still call.
