In spots like this I like to see a flop cheaply and then build a pot if I hit a nice flop.

I think this is really really bad. You are risking 2385 to win 225 in chips, or best case you are risking 2385 for 4770 or 2 to 1 on your money, worst case you are done, when he calls with Ax and it holds up, because he thinks you are a crazy.
KQ is nice, but what hands would call your crazy bet? Would you think of calling a crazy move with 77-AA, AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ. Against this range of hands you are about a 1.87 to 1 dog. If we shorten the list of hands that he calls with to AA-TT, AK, AQ. You are now a 2.66 to 1 dog. If he is total maniac and we widen his range to 22+, A9s+, KJs+, QTs+, A9o+, KTo+, QTo+, then it becomes a 1.15 to 1. This move will be successfull many times to win the blinds, but the same could be accomplished with normal raises. If he always calls then that is good because you have a decent hand and he would be playing marginals that you will beat many times. KQ is a marginal hand against many of the hands that will call in this situation on such a large bet, especially if you have done it several times. AA-TT, AK, AQ. There aren't any antes yet which would add more to be won, but why risk more than you need to to steal the blinds here? |
