Default Re: KQo quick checkup

c/r please.

Edit: I should expand. You have a fairly strong draw in this position. While we don't have a developed read on villian, we do realize that he doesn't raise much and is somewhat passive. This goes against my advise to c/r. Why then should we c/r? Two reasons: 1. range balancing 2. villian's position.

1. In this kind of situation, against this villian, we should be c/r a lot of flops. Mostly we should c/r with made hands to take advantage of his passiveness, but we must also keep him passive so we must c/r with strong draws as well. Here we have two overcards and a gutshot, which is strong enough to continue with and becomes even stronger with some added fold equity.

2. Villian opened when everyone folded to him in MP2. This, in my experience is when players, even passive players that don't raise very much, start to steal blinds. Certainly he has some kind of opening hand, but it isn't quite so tight as his raising standards seem. In fact, many players with low raising standards obtain those standards because they don't like raising after limpers with hands that they see as marginal.
