KQo from BB against MP raise

RustyCJ · #1 12-19-2005, 12:23 AM

MP2 is 56/16/1.5 after 50 hands

On the turn when it was capped I was pretty nervous about A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], so i checked the river with intention of calling.

Preflop: I fold here.

Flop: The way you played it is fine. I can see a pretty good case for a checkraise; worst case scenario is that it gets checked through and you get a free card.

Turn: Given the way you've played this hand up until now, I would checkraise and call a 3-bet. AdQd is pretty much the only hand you can reasonably be behind here; much more likely is AA-TT or possibly AJ with the Ace of diamonds.

That's one hilarious river. I'm guessing no one had two diamonds or AQ.

The problem with betting this flop is that there are twice as many people between Mr. LAGgy preflop raiser and you as there are between you and the preflop raiser. As you saw, faced with two bets and a monotone flop, they just wanted to get the hell out. If you let MP2 lead, maybe they hang in. At least Cally McPassive in UTG+1 didn't fold.

Other than that, nh.

Nah.

Preflop is fine. Only thing I would do different is to check the flop, since a raise would get my head spinning. I go for the check/call on the river too.

You're going to fold this hand when you just have to call 1 bet against a raiser who is 56/16/1.5 after 50 hands??

This guy raises as many hands as I play. I'm not a fan of calling raises with KQo either but I think this is certainly a spot I can do it and no one else showed strength.

I bet the flop for a couple of reasons, I might take it down with that bet, single suit flops scare alot of people and 2, I might get enough callers to make it a value bet with an OESD and 2nd nut flush draw.

Turn - I don't like giving free cards, I hit 1 hand I was drawing to on the turn, I'm not about to give a lesser hand a free card.

On the river I thought my hand was worth a call but not a bet after the turn cap.

Apologies for my ignorance of PokerTracker statistics. If this guy is raising as often as these numbers apparently suggest the preflop call is easy.
