[ QUOTE ]
100BB stacks
No reads given; specifically says that SB is unknown.

Hero is UTG w/ KQ

Hero limps, BTN limps, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop is K83 rainbow. (4BB pot)

SB bets 3bb, BB folds, Hero calls , BTN folds.

Turn is 4 (10BB pot) (BTW this is a correction of an error b/c in the book it says it is an 11BB pot)

SB checks, Hero checks.

River 4 (10BB pot)

SB bets 9BB, Hero calls

[/ QUOTE ]

Why doesn't hero bet the turn for 5-7 BB? If we're playing at a loose/passive table, that villain very rarely leads river. This means it's heros job to get chips in the middle.

If you bet 5 BB on the turn, then you can bet another 10 on the river and get value from weaker kings or just generally bad players.

Also, I think you need to point out to beginners that if you limp KQ UTG, you must fold it to a raise.
