KQ top pair hand
SB is 45/15/1.5 over about 45 hands
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls. Flop: (8 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players) SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls. Turn: (5.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players) SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB raises, UTG folds, Hero calls. River: (9.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players) SB bets, Hero calls. Final Pot: 11.50 BB when i get raised on the turn im almost certain im beat but i call down anyway, certainly didn't feel like i played it right should i just accept that im beat and fold when raised on the turn or call trying to hit one of my 5 outs at 8.5/1 and fold unimproved on the river? or is it possible he has a weaker king and/or is trying to snap off what could appear to be continuation bets often enough to justify my calldown? |

Re: KQ top pair hand
Hi,
45/15/1.5 is pretty aggressive. He could easily have a KJ/K9 type hand here as well as 2 pair/set. I call down here too. |

Re: KQ top pair hand
as mentioned by ipp, his stats are pretty aggro, so i wouldn't be surprised to see a lone K raising you here. i would call down here too. there is no chance of me folding as even if he has a 2 pair hand, we have some outs when we are raised on the turn.

Re: KQ top pair hand
i guess my play seems ok in retrospect, but for some reason i felt like i just KNEW he had 2 pair or 89
he did have 10's and 7's and while i understand why people think i should call down here, am i the only one that thinks that the average poor player (i certainly didn't have any read on him as being especially aggressive) at these levels very rarely raises here without 2 pair or better? for what it's worth, the 45% is saw flop, not vpip |

Re: KQ top pair hand
A few things to think about:
1. Small blind might just suck at poker, but taking this sort of line with a set or a straight is pretty bad. The fact that he's shutting out two players may make it a bit more likely that he doesn't have one of those monsters, though, again, he could just be oblivious. 2. You have a ton of outs against a lot of two pair hands. 3. A 1.5 agg factor for a 45 vpip is quite high. 4. You're getting almost 5-1 on a call down. 5. The presence of other players means this is a bit less likely to be a bluff. In the balance, it's marginal, but I prefer a calldown. The next best line would definitely be calling the turn and folding the river unimprove getting 8-1 on what will often be more than 5 outs if you're up against 2 pair. I think folding the turn outright is probably the worst of the 3. |
