I don't open with KQ at all in that position, I just fold it.

fold, i tend to respect the blinds on a low board. don't know if he is representing 2 pair or a straight, but my top pair 2nd kicker is not looking so good.

Fold pf. Flop bet is fine. I fold to the turn push without a tremendous read. It's unlikely this is the most sophisticated bluff ever. He's got you beat.

everytime i play KQ early on like this i get burned. always. i just see it now and throw it away after giving it the finger.

Open raise to steal, or fold preflop. IMO.

imaptone · #7 01-18-2006, 11:42 AM

Not sure it makes a difference, but someone had limped.

jojobinks · #8 01-18-2006, 11:59 AM

that does matter. it should make your pf fold easier. with the pot at 35, it's just not worth your while here. KQo is way too mediocre a hand to risk chips at this point.
