Villian was raising a lot. Should I be 3 betting here with KQ vs. this kind of player? As played, what line would you take?

KQo is a pretty lame hand to 3-bet with. i prefer just calling or folding most times. i think you played it well postflop. in position, i dont mind calling with this hand to a raise.

[Thremp]

Standard.

He's raising a lot from position or just in general? And how is his play post-flop?

I don't know. It's hard for me to recommend a good play without much more information. I guess I could understand the QK raise preflop, but given my position I'd probably call.

I would probably have bet the flop for more, to make drawing unprofitable and take the pot down, to invite raises rather than soft-playing from stronger hands, and to make me seem more "committed" to the pot thus making bluffs from aggressive players using position, less attractive. I tend to bet harder out of position with hands I don't want to go to the showdown with but I can't see myself getting away from easily.

Why not b/f turn? Could easily be a float by villain?

[A0566]

True. If I were OP I would probably have also bet that turn.

The problem with that turn card is... that smaller bet sizes invite a raise while larger bet sizes give value to several possibly superior hands.

I agree. I see this alot with aggro villains. You check the turn and they fire a big bet.

Bet the turn and fold to a raise

the title says it all

no good

KQo is a really typically bad oop hand

[Waingro]

Well I suppose if villain is awful he will call you with stuff like KTo, in which case I like it. If he isn´t awful he will fold stuff like KTo in which case you can´t really 3bet KQo for value.

Dude. Cmon now. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You are OOP and have the ultimate trap hand.

Pick up your fork and dig into some foldarooni.
