KQs on a scary Q high flop

[mikeca]

Loose, mostly passive Friday night B&M 3/6 game

Main opponents here:

BB – older Asian man, 95% preflop, will call to river with any piece of the flop or draw

MP1 - young kid, barely looks 21, ~40-50% preflop, raises good hands after flop, hasn’t been at table very long

MP2 - little older, 50-60% preflop, raises good hands after flop, calls down light

I’m on the button with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

5 limpers to me, I raise, SB folds, BB and all the limpers call.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7 players, 13 SB after rake

Checked to the CO who bets, I raise (??), BB calls, some folds, MP1 3 bets, MP2 caps, folded to CO who folds, I call 2 more (??), BB calls.

CO was ~50% preflop, obviously pretty experienced with post flop play, had taken shots at pots with air. I didn’t think he had a flush when he bet. After he folded, he apparently didn’t even have one spade. I raised to try to knock out players who did not have a club to improve my chances. Clearly if another club came, my hand was dead. MP1 or MP2 could already have a flush here.

Turn: [5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4 players, 15 BB

BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets, I call (??), everyone else calls.

MP2 might have the flush in which case I’m drawing dead, and a raise isn’t going to knock anyone out, so I just called.

River: [5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4 players, 19 BB

BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets, I call (??), BB folds, MP2 calls

By the river only MP2 could have the flush, and my gut feeling was he didn’t have it either, but with this many players somebody must have a 9 or two pair on this board. The pot was just too big to fold, so I called. Comments?
