Default Re: 10$MTT - KQs - hard decision on the river

I don't MIND the call from SB with KQs with your stack, blinds, MP's stack, as long as you are willing to play some poker, you can get some value out of an MP1 raise. You just have to know what you are doing afterwards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Flop = fine.
Turn: Interesting, I think a bet is fine, I go for 2K now, as you very likely have the best hand. I think that MP1 checking on the flop is suicide here and MOST players who have two pair or AK or whatever are going to fire something here because this is a scary board. I don't see him having AJ.
River: I check behind and call a small bet, fold to a stronger one? You're getting so little value from betting with this board unless he has a straight or an FH; either way, you're [censored]. But, mmmmaaaaaybe he fires something on a bluff and you can pick up a tiny bit of value or hopefully he just checks. I dunno. the pot's small, so getting away is really alright even if he makes a thin value bet.

Cliff notes: I don't mind KQs here, this board sucks, betting the river is a spew, but not necessarily the turn.
