TPGK multiway raised pot

cassette · #1 06-09-2007, 07:26 PM

Preflop is usually a raise but UTG and UTG +1 are big calling stations and I don't mind taking this hand multiway. CO is a bad tag. About 20/10. He seems to mostly play his own cards and I don't think he was raising light so I didn't really want to have my 3 bet called by him.

UTG +1 has donked a few flops lately and could mean a number of things. CO's flop call seems a little weird. An underpair to the queen, AK, or a monster.

I didn't want to give a free card on the turn to either player.

OOP with two callers in the pot, I don't much like our hand. I probably just dump this on the flop, and certainly don't lead turn.

It's a marginal hand, I want to get to showdown as cheaply as possible and being first to act makes it hard to control the pot.

If I'm playing KQ multiway I'm really looking to flop a straight or flush draw, I think we're often dominated here.

looks like a good spot to donk the flop, you can iso one of the stations and the tag isnt going to raise you with worse.

this is a scary situation and i dont see the purpose in betting that turn...youre only going to get called there if they have you beat and there is a good chance one of them does. i probably would have folded flop.
