I raise the turn. I think you just jumped ahead of a K8/K2s more often than you still trail a set.

And I pay off on the river. Pot's too big to fold for 1 bet with top 2.

If i raise the turn and get 3 bet am i then calling down or folding?

I like a turn raise as well. Your hand is extremely strong. Although theres good reason to fear a set, I still think your more often up against a weird two pair or overplayed K. if i get 3bet im calling down unless im improve obviously. top two on such a discoordinated board is too much hand to give up.

i also call down the river.

If 3-bet, I call & re-evaluate on a blank river. That may not be the best play, but that's what I do. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

harv, you think this guy is limping utg with K8 or K2?

i think it's more likely he just pulled ahead of a limped AK or KJ, that or he's tied with another KQ.

On a drawless board SB calls two cold twice on the flop.

I like calling the turn and river as I want a showdown here.

I dont think this hand offers much, so the results are as follows, muppet one (utg) shows qjo, while muppet two shows AKo.

2/4 Party, vs. an unknown on a Friday night? I think it's fairly likely that he limped K8s or K2s...hell, it's even possible that he limped 82s. AK is also possible, or even AA for that matter. And I'll admit that seeing the river action might have skewed my take on the turn a bit.

utg capped the flop with no pair? or is it the other way around?
