100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

Villain is 22/17/2.5 over 400 hands and from what I can tell, a regular winner and probably even 2p2.

I might just fold this preflop.

Aside from that, I call down these bets too.

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

i smell AQ, KK, or AA, but you have to call down.

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

fold pf, you have to call the river, odds are too good.

imo he can easily have some stupid hand like air or QJ

If you haven't answered yet but plan to, don't read the following in white:

<font color="white">Nobody folds the turn? CAMEON! Once I call the turn, the river is a call, sure...but the turn...What is he betting that I beat? What makes any sense? Fold the turn! I kind of expected somebody to say that!</font>

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

id fire that turn alot to set up a river push because its so easy to rep AA KK on that turn and I wouldnt shut down with AA KK in that spot, nor AQ. So I fire with most of my range, including any air I have on the turn, and if I have enough left, like 2/3, I push river.

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

How do you rep AA/KK given pre-flop?

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

I'd fold pf. Playing KQo vs a UTG raise from a solid player will only get you into trouble. Terrible reverse implied odds.

I was writing as villan. Gir asked what villan fires turn with.

Turn fold would be fine here. As played calling down seems like the best option if you don't fold the turn.

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

Whether or not you fold the turn depends on Villain.

I double-barrel a lot (in Villain's spot) here, because your flop call looks exactly like what it is: a queen or a pocket pair (i.e. a hand that is too good to bluff-raise the flop with but not good enough to value-raise the flop with either). And I CB here often because it's very hard for someone to call me without a Q when I bet a 3-way flop.

So, against a villain like me, you might want to call all three streets (or even raise the flop sometimes).

hafta call river, dont hafta call turn, you are prob beat

Re: 100NL - KQ - How did I play this hand?
 

Umm vs randies, I prob dont fold this PF until I am sure he is legit UTG, most players dont even realise they need better standards in UTG.

I prob play it same, if you call turn, river is a must call IMO.
