Default Re: 25 nl horrendously butchered kq from sb

I don't like the preflop raise from OOP.

On the flop you probably felt you had to take the lead, but your flop bet comes across as weak.
The bet was also dubious because the board was so coordinated and in the playing zone, not to mention the fact you were out of position.

I prefer a check as betting the flop is unlikely to fold your opponent seeing much of his preflop range would connect in some way with this type of flop, and he also had the luxury of "seeing what you do" on the turn due to his position.

The poster who said "...you were after information the only question is once he gave you the information why call the re raise" is wrong. Not wrong in principle, but wrong because the reraise was so small.

Calling his small raise gave you 4.6 to 1 immediate odds to draw for your straight, not to mention that if you hit you had a good chance to stack the villain....but even if the villain would only pay off a small bet on the turn or river it is profitable to call here.

On the turn you had to fold.
