$16 - 25/50, KQs flopped top pair and OESD

[Kevin8423]

I didn't really want to build a big pot here until I hit my draw, but with the raise I really disliked only calling. Should I have just raised his 50 bet instead of calling?

I flat the initial 50 and shoving/folding are the only viable options after the 300 raise. You are likely up against 2pair but have have enough outs I guess to make this a decent shove I guess. I'm not crazy about the hand, it's a little messy/spewy. I don't like to get involved w/ draws not that great this early...

It is standard to call with KQs PF in this situation. I would easily fold PF. As played, the flop puts you in a mess. Anyway you play it, you'll probably get it all-in on the flop and be behind.

I sometimes limp qks in first 3 lvls on stars. I will not open limp with it though. I also like for there to be more players in the pot and me in CO/BTN... Limping is better at lvl1+2 obviously than here. I fold pre in this spot in game.

I don't think limping here is a leak, just preference.

I fold it preflop and not go broke to JT or AQ.
I limp it in position (button/CO) after limpers preflop.

Preflop is bad.

Preflop: Its bad to limp behind from such an early position unless the table has been very passive. This can also hold true for small PP's.

Flop: On that board/action I like it.

It can be played profitably, even if its somewhat marginal. I'm looking for comments on the post flop play anyway.

Why? It's preflop you need help with [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As for post flop, I think calling the minbet and raising it are both viable options. The push I like.
