I bet this flop. I think you'll get callers with kings and you MIGHT get JT to fold. As played, I'd probably call and spew when he shows me the rivered straight.

[reutel]

I don't like your turn raise, I would make it slightly larger, or just call for pot control. And I think I would check and call his bet if its not too large. As played I would fold. You are getting terrific ods, but I don't Think he would raise a K or A here. The best that I can see happening is a split: Villan having QJ

[Sir Winalot]

leeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaad flooooooooop!

[ChipStorm]

Fold that trash preflop. Completing SB with a hand like that in FR is a very big leak.

Lead flop, unless you're going for a checkraise. I lead.

I flat call villain's turn raise. He's repping a Q now, and if he has it you're outkicked.

Check/call river.

[Archon_Wing]

You should reload preflop. With only 1/2 a buyin, you can probaly put it in without much problem.

[sigurrostyp]

fold pre

[kurto]

No matter what it can't be a cooler.

[Antinome]

Lead the flop. Once you are flat called you have to realize the guy has a Queen, or maybe KJ or JT if he is really bad. It probably isn't AQ or KQ, but it might be JQ or QT. A huge slowplaying idiot might remotely have AA or KK. AK is unlikely.

Turn I check. What I do next depends on the size of his bet, and what my reads tell me about what a bet of that size means. If I don't have reads good enough to tell me what this bet means, I fold preflop.

i dont think so, fr players really suck, so playing more pots cheaply is good IMO, plus they cant put you on a hand. I would be completeing suited Ks and Qs and anything remotely connected in this spot.

edit: i thought there was a flush draw, my bad

the turn 3bet is pure unadulterated spew by the way. when you get action with trip queens/kings/jacks/aces/tens with a crappy kicker, it's time to start playing more cautiously

[Sam Spade]

Raise or fold PF.

Lead flop for pot.

If villain flat calls, lead turn for 3/4 pot folding to a raise. Our kicker sucks. RIO could easily come into play here. If villain flat calls our turn bet, I put pout a 1/2 pot bet and fold to a raise.

Don't go broke in a limped pot.

[redCashion]

Ya, cooler would be if you had QK and villain had QA to make his hand on the river.

But I agree with most, fold PF, lead flop, and for half a buy-in I'm OK with getting it all in here.

[Theduke211]

you are all right. he had kq and i misplayed the whole hand. I should have folded pf. I should have been more aggresive and i should have folded at the end. IMHO. I spewed. This is why after 10000 hands my profit is -12.83

[pdoran10]

meh i fold this preflop. As played, lead the flop. If there is a cooler like KQ or AQ out there, you want to know asap. Also you are repping a King by leading the flop. Slowplaying minimizes value and traps you here...
