live 4/8 with a kill (not a kill pot)

2 limpers, i raise KdQc in MP, blinds call, limpers call. (5 for 10SB)

QxJdTxr flop
SB checks, BB bets, both limpers call, i call, SB folds. (4 for 7BB)

3d turn
BB bets, limpers fold, i call. (2 for 9BB)

on the river i plan to:
a) call a blank
b) raise on an A/9 obviously
c) raise on a K and fold to a 3-bet

A river
BB checks, i bet, he calls.

BB is about to muck when someone asks to see both hands. He shows QJo.


I dunno, I think both raising or calling the flop are valid plays here. Honestly, I don't know which one is better.

Reasons I didn't raise the flop:
-BB bets into the whole field with the PFR being last to act..he's got me beat most of the time here.
-I have a one card OESD, I'm drawing to a chop pretty often.
-Raising doesn't protect my hand/clean up outs.

You're way ahead of AJ and AT, which could easily be betting here.

i really doubt these hands are betting this flop.

He has top pair with second best kicker and no one else raised preflop. He most likely has the best hand and needs to protect it.

This statement is wrong on two accounts.

1) You're way overestimating how good your hand is on the flop (as a made hand)

2) raising protects nothing. if you're raising its for a far different reason.
