Re: Too Passive?
Flop raise g00t. Hearts and Q's and maybe K's will call ( you know how fish love that call button)
I'd probally reraise the turn---or..raise a blank non heart non 9TJ river card.. Meh, raising the turn is better, I think you still have the best hand here. He has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A or KK(one [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) alot of the time here..or even something like A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J. So i think a raise on the turn is probally in order with BB trapped. |

Re: Too Passive?
I made a fold on the turn here this weekend in a very similar hand in a 13BB pot and I <b> still </b> am thinking about that hand and wish I could go back and call instead of fold!

Re: Too Passive?
heh. Just don't get into the habit of folding the nut straight now :P. If there wa more action on this hand we can consider folding, but it's just BB who 3-bet preflop. We probally hear from JJ on the flop, so i really think that villan has an overpair with a heart draw, or AKs, in which case you are screwed. Anyhow, with BB in the middle raising sounds good to me.

Re: Too Passive?
Here are the results. Turns out, button was playing
almost any 2 cards aggressively no matter what. Needless to say, he was broke in a few orbits. Results below: <font color="blue"> BB has Ks Kh (two pair, kings and nines). Hero has Qs Kc (straight, ace high). Button has 9s 4c (three of a kind, nines). Outcome: Hero wins 20.25 BB. </font> |

Re: Too Passive?
Fly,
Can you explain the rationale for raising KQo UTG? I'm also trying to understand if this is a profitable hand to play UTG. I think not, but am learning so reason for my questions. |

[/ QUOTE ] I guess the short answer is that you have a pretty serious equity edge against the random microlimiter pf-calling hand. While this play is debatable at higher levels (IIRC?), IMO it's profitable at any micro table worth sitting at. |

Re: Too Passive?
Thanks, makes sense to consider what others would stay in with in microlimits. A raise, one could surmise, from UTG may drive out hands such as small pocket pairs or AXo that could kill you later.

Re: Too Passive?
I like the flop raise. I would 3 bet the turn.
