KQo, in LP, my river action?

sup peeps,

villain in this hand is loose-neutral - not markedly passive or aggressive postflop from what I've seen.

I'm most curious about the turn and river, blech.

i think that calling is obvious...i think that a raise is somewhat reckless since you will often be 3bet. His play is pretty consistent with 88 or a 3, i doubt that he would lead the turn with something like A8, although K8 is a possibility...i think you are beat here most of the time but you should call...

i think that you will be against an 8 or 99 enough to make calling correct...

I like the turn call. You are probably either way ahead or way behind with being ahead probably more likely (maybe he called your raise with hand like A3s, but even then wouldn't be more apt to checkraise the flop as opposed to betting out?). If you raise SB may believe that you hit the king and say bye bye, but with a call he may lead out on the river. Using the same thoughts as above I'd raise the river for value, however, if he makes it three bets you may wish to seriously consider laying the hand down...

Turn is perfect. Raise the riv and fold to a 3-bet.

I would probably raise the river, too. I would probably put your opponent something on the likes of A8 or a pocket pair.

yeah, i think raising the river is good play, but only if you can safely fold to a 3bet...if not then i think calling is better...

Why the flop raise? Is that to test and see if villian has a 3? If so, why are you calling his 3-bet?

its surprising to me how often a flop raise will win this pot, at least at 3/6...also the flop raise will often win a free card on the turn if you want...your hand may even be best...

call the 3bet because you could have six outs to the best hand, also he would have folded the turn unimproved...

I raised, he three bet, and I oh so sadly regret to inform the jury that I called it. he had A3d.
