KQo, any reason to raise postflop

[Gravy]

I have a note on this guy: "limps AK, slowplays TPTK"

There is absolutely no reason not to raise. Most often you have the best hand, so extract money with it.

You could 3 bet on flop if you are affraid that he got a K with better kicker and try to take down the pot right there.

But you should have the better hand and I would not like to play a big pot with KQ so i think calling is a better option.

I think I raise the turn. You've got TPGK, and villain is making a tiny bet into that pot. Might be a probe bet. Might be a trap. Sometimes a weak bet indicate weakness, not trickiness. I think you've got position here and need to use it to take control.

A solid raise here might take down the hand or at least help you see where you stand. Why let him see another card on the cheap?

That said, I don't think there's anything wrong with calling here and keeping this hand from getting out of control. But I think you could make the case that the turn would be a good spot to raise.

well, this doesn't look like he's slowplaying TPTK if he has AK. Given reads, I just call the flop and probably raise the turn or river. Against these strong/weak tell villain's, they'll often donk into you with a smallish PP/2nd pair.

This looks totally fine. You played TPGK for 36BB, fearing your opponent might have you outkicked. You played good pot control with position and a modestly strong hand. Well done.
