KQs flop decision
 

Bellagio 15/30

The table has just filled up again, so there are lots of new faces. I'm stuck about $880 with only about $120 left to play with before I'm busto for the night.

An Indian woman limps UTG, a somewhat LAG player limps behind her, and a new guy on my right raises. I coldcall with KQ diamonds. The blinds come along as do the limpers, and it's 6-handed for two bets.

The flop is A63 with two diamonds. Checked to the raiser, who bets. My action...

You have a little over 2 BB at this point? Put em in.

Actually, I've got a little over 3 BB. I've changed the original post.

I think it's still a raise. You're short stacked so it's going to be discounted a little.

2BB left...part of me says I'd just call and collect hopefully get 2-3BB from every player still in the hand when we make our flush. Im assuming no one folds an Ace and if no one has an ace then if we hit a pair of kings or queens we probably are still good and outkick the other K and Q hands.

the other part of me says raise and hope that hands like J10, 99, 88 fold thus allowing us to win with KQ UI versus PFRers KJs or to beat his JJ wheb we spike a K.

if this is the sort of table where people arent going to fold anyway then it doesnt matter what we do.

okay no more fence sitting....Im in the raise it up camp so as to improve (Even if only slightly) our chances of winning when we hit an out that isnt a flush

Q: Is Ace on the flop one of the diamonds?

Yes -- Sorry, this is a very disorganized post.

Call. Very small chance to win this before show-down. Just call along and hope to score a nice pot. But, pl don't play with 4bb.

It's a live busto limit. 4 BB is plenty for about 90% of the situations. Also, if I'm not playing, I can't grow that 4 BB into 6-8 BB, into 10-12 BB and more.

The draw is to the nuts, all your money is going in may as well get callers on the cheap streets when they are more likely to call.

Nice draws love company. Lets call this trying to keep as many villains as we can. Even though we are short stacked we don't want to price anybody out at this point.
