Re: KQ in Button
I don't cap that turn.

Re: KQ in Button
Why do you consider the river a scare card? It's unlikely your opponent has a pair of jacks. Maybe he flopped the straight with JT but I don't think he would reraise with that hand before the flop. I wouldn't put him on a straight here, he might have flopped two pair or a set though. The turn is a blank, but he does 3-bet so must have a strong hand, so I wouldn't cap the turn either.

Re: KQ in Button
I like capping the flop here, if he leads the turn I think you can squeeze one more raise in and then go into call down mode if he 3bets.

Re: KQ in Button
After getting 3bet on the turn, I'd probably slow down, although if he checks the river after a turn 3bet, I'd consider betting the river.
I'm not advocating a slowplay at all, but if Villian has AA, is there a reason you want him to stop putting money in while behind? |

Re: KQ in Button
I play it the same on the first few streets, and I'm torn on the river decision.

I put UTG on AA.....

His river check is interesting, I can't work out whether he is checking because he's worried or if he is trying to set you up for a c/r. IMO you are against; KK or QQ, AK, a very aggro played AA & there's a possibility of KQs, & I'm not ruling out the possibility of nearly any two suited cards! OP, keep in mind that a limp re-raise isn't always AA. |

Re: KQ in Button
*grunch*
I don't know if we can "assume" As in 5max, but we can assume either Qs Ks As or maybe an AK....so working off of that range. This is a set of Qs or Ks all day after i see the Flop and Turn get capped and check the river card. Actually, the river check by villian is awful as i can't see him putting you on a st8 with the action here. (JT on a capped preflop?!) After the flop is capped i think i call down the turn and river. Im seeing a SD but there is no need to flood the pot w/ top 2 pair here. |

Re: KQ in Button
i just wanted this hand to be an example not to put a player on one read because i thought he had AA and at the showdown he had KK

Re: KQ in Button
Preflop: why so specific about the AA read? Absent reads I generally think AK, QQ+.
Flop, OK. After his 3-bet I'm slowing down, because the odds for KK/QQ go up. Turn: I just call down from here River: Not a scare card for me -- I really don't think he's been betting and raising everything with just an inside straight draw. |
