Personally I do not like to slowplay this hand. I would have definitely raised pf. calling the pf raise is ok, if you reraised here you would give away your hand. I would definitely have reraised the flop and bet the turn.

-Limping KK is meh, even strong pocket pairs decrease drastically in value in multiway pots. At least raise the SB &amp; BB out, avoid stacking off vs a weird hand like Q6.

-Someone raised after 2 limpers PF, announces he has a strong hand; your trap worked, so why not re-raise PF?

-Why not check-raise the flop? I like to get some money in if that Q hit villain here.

-On the river there's 4 to a straight, I'd expect to see hands like AK fold faster than lightning here when I bet out. I'd call a check-raise on the flop with AQ; I'd think twice before calling that river. What's worse is that there's a ton of hands by now that beat us.

-Note: please don't post results or screen names.

Any reason you're playing with a half-stack?

PF: You have to raise; limping is a very big mistake here. You also got a great chance to limp/re-raise, and you didn't take it.

Flop: Get more money in now. With a small stack and a perfect flop, you should be looking to get all-in on the flop or turn. You have to check/raise after you check and he bets. Leading out a 1/2 pot is OK too.

Turn: I hope you wanted to check/raise all-in [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

River: Now you should see why you should have got in more money earlier; the board is scary, and he's going to be reluctant to pay you off with less than a straight.
