Passively played top pair
 

Last hand, the Button raised his SB against 3 limpers, BB folded. He checked and peeled to the river, folding the river on J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. He was getting ~7:1 on the turn.

The current SB in this hand is unknown.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

3bet the flop, we don't want to give the button the right price to draw to 2-4 outs.

Re: Passively played top pair
 

i think you're probably behind on the flop after SB cold-calls a button 3bet and c/rs flop.. 3bet is better than calling, folding is quite possibly better than calling too.

i think donking the flop can be a good play in that spot by the way.

river is really yuck after he bets, i fold this river v an unknown. looks like KQ clubs, top two or maybe a set. I've also seen people play AA and KK like this. you're only really ahead of QJo and Q10o unless he's a moron, not sure he cold-calls them preflop often enough.

i definately like donking the flop or check/3ballin it rather than coldcalling two here. as played i would call down as well.
