B/c that's what I'm starting to feel like i'm in.

Readless (as usual)....he bets the pot, I repot in position with a decent hand.....after the flop there's very few hands to be worried about, and I make my move after seeing a safe turn.....how could I have played this differently? You can guess I got raped by a better hand b/c i'm posting about it, but im trying not to be results oriented and wondering if I should have played it another way......

Also i'm becoming convinced that there are quite alot of good players playing these micro quarter games....

I don't like the 3bet preflop. Too marginal, and since you didn't post any reads we can only assume you're new at the table?

His flop bet is really weak. You pretty much got one of the best flops you can ask for with KQ. Sure flopping the nuts would be better but you hit your Q so now you're ahead of AK.

I think the only decision is to raise the flop. If you're not prepared to play for stacks with TPGK then don't 3bet with KQ. This is why 3betting this hand without reads is bad.

As played, I'm not sure. Turn raise is ok because the money would have went it on the river either way.

His hand looks like TJs, but I wouldn't be surprised to see QQ+ too.
