Default Live 10-20 hand.

I have K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the BTN. 2 fish limp in early position and 1 good player limps in the CO and I call and both blinds call.

I realize that preflop is close between raising and calling. Im sure many 2+2ers may see this as not close and autoraise here every time. With a hand like KQo or AJo, I prefer to just call in this spot and keep the post small instead of building a large 5-6 handed pot. FWIW my precise raising range in this spot is TT,AQo,ATs,KTs,QTs,JTs.

Flop comes out K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Everyone checks to me and I bet. Everyone folds to the good player in the CO who calls. The turn is a 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He checks, and I check. River is a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets, I call.

I don't quite understand. Why check the turn?

Raise the river, bet the turn.

Raise to hopefully fold SB and BB and get it four handed. I don't see the point in not raising this preflop. The good player in CO could be limping in with a hand like AJo, JQo or low pocket pairs and your hand beats the 2 limpers for sure...I really don't see what keeping the pot small would accomplish.

It was checked to you on the turn, that's an easy bet with the best hand...but if you thought he'd fold to a bet, it's a raise on the river.

I think you should bet/fold the turn (since he is a live 'good' player playing 10/20).

Nice to see you posting again Matt. Ive occasionally opened my AIM to see if youre around but you havent been there. We'll have to talk sometime. Lately Ive been really busy between trying to get my hands in and somehow keep my girlfriend happy by seeing her as much as I can. I hope youre doing well in poker and life. We will talk soon.

Agreed.

The good player isn't nearly as good as you might think.

I like PF raise with this hand on the BTn all the time. What is wrong with building a big pot with QKo on the BTN? Same goes for AJo on the BTn for me. Most of the time I just think we have to exploit any PF edges when we have them. One of the reasons besides value is that in a session we sometimes don't get any premium hands for long spells.

I'd pretty much always bet the turn here. The rest of the hand looks good.

Against most players in my game I would bet the turn in this spot.
