You have top pair with the second best kicker. If the board were A4387 and you had AQ would you bet this river?

I'd 3-bet preflop since I had posted and it's still only a 3-way pot.

Why??? There aren't very many hands that don't have you dominated that are worth raising in MP1. There are also zero legit raising hands that you have MP1 dominated with KJo.

The raiser may well not have a legitimate hand.

Being faced with calling 2 cold will frequently knock out the blinds and give you a better shot at winning the pot when both you and the raiser miss.

The extra money in the pot will subsidize this play. With your posted blind, the raiser's money, and the two blinds, you're getting better than 2:1 to throw in an extra two bets and take the lead.


I'm paraphrasing Ed Miller. Check out his article here:
