$6.50 Stars turbo - Trouble with KQ
I got a bit lost on this hand, should it have been a fold preflop?
Villain has been a donk so far, looser than even the average $6.50 player. With this in mind, is KQ strong enough to hold up? PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com Button (t2800) SB (t2825) Hero (t1245) UTG (t4195) Villain (t560) MP2 (t655) CO (t1220) Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villain raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero ??? I think his stack size makes this tricky, even though it's a min raise, he's commited himself. |

Bah. I hate a minraiser at this level. Oh, hell, I just hate minraisers.
I guess I need to know more about the villain. If I've seen him plays Q6s at any level, I push in a flash. If he's really as big a donk as you say, his range will include stuff you crush. I lean towards a push vs. a minraising dope with a short stack, but that might be a visceral reaction to the minraise... |

If he's a donk then call and push any flop.

Re: $6.50 Stars turbo - Trouble with KQ
I called and then didn't like the flop, checked and folded to his all in. Which I think is probably the worst way i could have played it. If I was calling the raise I should have had a plan for the flop right?
I think I was worried that if i lost the gamble my stack size wouldn't be too workable for the bubble. Which would suggest it's fold or be prepared to go all in dependant on read. Bleh I hate this hand and the weak-ass way I played it. Thanks for you help guys. |

Re: $6.50 Stars turbo - Trouble with KQ
I think if you are putting chips in the pot there, they all need to go in. I wouldnt hate folding against a tight player. I'd lean towards an allin preflop against a loose donk. You'd be surprised how many times you get called by junk hands youre ahead of and also sometimes they fold.
If you call preflop, I think you need to push any flop. |
