MP2 is 23/13/3 over ~600 hands. The others are mostly 10-20 vpip'ies iirc. Soo, I got AK right?

he is "rarely" ever going to fold his 2p, def not going to fold his set, and obv call with the idiot end or AK.

so...good play!

Standard, no reason to slowplay and let a scare card hit the turn.

I don't think anything MP2 is raising you with will fold to your push, so you don't have a lot of fold equity. I strongly suspect you're TPWK is behind villain in most cases.

Villain could very well have AK, himself.

I'd fold to the raise.

You're best bet is if he has some kind of draw, but in general I think you are in a bad spot oop with the worst hand that could very well be drawing dead.

Fold KQo preflop instead of open raise. It's a trouble hand. I'd rather raise 78s than KQo here.

Why would you be happy for him to call w/ the idiot end or 2-pair when we are losing to those hands. He's essentially semi-bluffing by representing AK when he only actually has KQ with a backdoor non-nut flush draw.

I think his TPWK is no good here. I don't think villain is folding. So why is getting it all in with the worst hand a good play?

I sense sarcasm from effang...

I definitely fold to the raise. I can't imagine you're ahead right now and even if you hit your straight, it very well may be a split pot or lose to a flush.

I agree it is usually a fold preflop.

looks like KQ to me

WTF I thought this was AK when I posted.
