How often would you raise from the BB here?

Every time? What about if you held a hand like 88? Thanks alot guys.

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
7 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, Button calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: 3.25 BB

Also would you normally lead the flop (assuming you bet preflop) even with the ace out there?

KQs has major equity vs an open limp otb. Raise. I would all-in if I could.

I raise 88 too.

I like the raise from the BB. In fact, I do that every time in this situation. I think if he's open limping from the button, he's probably a weak player or has a weak hand or even more likely both.

You would think that most Aces on the button are going to raise if they are opening the pot, so I also like the flop bet. I'm betting the turn as well. This is a coordinated board so he could easily be calling the flop bet on a flush or straight draw and the turn helps neither of those. I think you are ahead even w/ King high on the turn.

You guys rock thanks

Grunch.

I would raise every time, with KQ or with 88. You have a major equity edge, and a c-bet on the flop will often take it down, even if you miss.

that's tough man. If I knew the button to be a calling machine, as most people are in .50/1.00. I would check, if you think there's a chance you can make em fold em, then [censored] bet!
