Not trying to be smart, but whats the question? Bet for value?

DrModern · #3 10-19-2006, 07:57 PM

Um, maybe 3-bet preflop?

Otherwise nh.

The big decision here is the pre-flop call. It's marginal and in most cases I'd fold due to the high risk of being dominated.

While there's a fair chance you're dominated or someone has an overpair I think this is a perfectly reasonable line to take post-flop. The good news is that these players seem so passive that they aren't making you pay if indeed you are dominated and this is a very good thing. If someone turns up a better hand just be thankful it didn't cost you any more than it did.

You fold KQs to a PFR at this limit? Are you serious?

OrigamiSensei · #6 10-19-2006, 08:12 PM

Yes, I'm serious. Why learn bad habits now? I might 3-bet a single raiser to isolate but here we have the raiser and an overcaller and I don't think a 3-bet is the best move. I see this as call or fold pre-flop, but not a raise.

DrModern · #7 10-19-2006, 08:13 PM

Bah, I 3-bet here everytime.

3-betting preflop with KQs is fine. It's not a bad habit if the early position raiser isn't a tight raiser up front. I'm raising TT+, ATs+, AJo+, KJs+, KQo from there, and he's doing pretty well against that range with position.

The presence of the coldcaller makes me think this is a better coldcalling situation to invite the blinds into a multiway pot. It's not getting heads up, so take the next best option and play this strong hand.

At 0.02-0.04 this is an easy coldcall. KQs is the only hand i cold call with (besides PP's when there has been a raise and there are 2 other cold callers before me). Its a reraise if its a weak player and i can isolate him at a tight table. AJs i'd rather dump or reraise. AQ against most villains who havent raised in EP is also a reraise.
