Re: $24 NL....KQs OOP....line check
On the flop, I think you played the hand well. It was a good fold. You have a bettor (UTG) and a caller (UTG+1). Since, UTG appears to be solid, he is likely to have something, otherwise he wouldn't bet with three other players seeing the flop. UTG+1 is also likely to have hit the flop, since he calls while there are two players to act behind him.
Now what hands could UTG and UTG+1 possibly have? Of course, any AK is a possible holding for both opponents. I think UTG+1 may well be capable of playing any broadway this way if at least one to his pocket cards is a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG may also have pocket J's or pocket K's, although the latter is very unlikely, since he would need to have both the remaining K's in the deck. Another possible holding for UTG is A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
The think you have to keep in mind is that if one of them has you beat at this point, you want to throw your hand away, because you hardly have any outs.
As for your play pre-flop, I also tend to play KQ suited in this spot, although I admit that I find it questionable. Maybe I'll stop playing that hand in this situation.
