KQs Against Evan

[SippinSoma]

Evan said I should post more so I'll try to.

Serious 2p2 .02/.04 table I got going last night. Table line-up is a Breakz, Evan, Trix, Robinsmad, SteveL91, Brazilio, and Dealer_toe. Evan has been playing very well, but very loose PF. I've been playing very well too and pretty tight.

Breakz folds, Evan raises, folded to me in the BB. I call with KQs.

The flop comes K68 rainbow. I check, Evan bets, I call.

Turn is an 5. I check, Evan bets, I call.

River is a 2. I bet, Evan raises, I call.

why not 3 bet pf
'evan has been playing very loose pf'

or was just calling for deception or something?

[Danenania]

Easy 3-bet PF. Given the way you played it I would checkraise the turn. You're ahead a vast majority of the time and your line doesn't get as much out of TT-QQ, 9's, or worse K's (I doubt he folds any of these to a turn c/r unless you've been playing the limp noodle, perhaps lesser 9's). Oh and he'll have an easy fold with A-high to your river bet if that's your idea.

I don't know if I'd use a standard 2+2 line against another 2+2er. He knows what your bet on the end means most of the time, and will raise with a better K or set and fold A-high and smaller pairs.

[Derek in NYC]

I play this straightforwardly against aggressive players, and slow down only if raised on the turn.

[JoshuaD]

I 3-bet preflop and I would try to find a check-raise on either the flop or the turn, depending on whether he'll call down a flop check raise.

You're close...

Given that Soma thinks of Evan and what Evan probably thinks of Soma, Evan is likely to fire the flop and turn a lot, and agression here will slow him down. This is a good line if you think you can coax an extra BB out of him on the turn instead of a SB on the earlier streets.

Checkraising the turn also gets that extra BB out of him.. more effectively imo.

If he's been playing loose pre-flop you should really c/r at some point here.
