I would appreciate any comments on my play here... no read on villain, my call of his repop PF was questionable... i figured after i raised his flop bet i was pretty much pot committed if he went AI

FYP.

I think the flop is fine, but a case can also be made for just calling then firing on the turn if he checks to you.

Preflop is awful. The rest is fine.

calling the pfRR is really really bad and gets you into a lot of trouble.

as played, getting it in on the flop is standard.

fold pf usually.

flop moneys going in, so I like a raise all in when he bets. Its only slight overbet, and has a bit more f/e as you'd like the AA (no diamond) and AK (no diamond) which youre slightly worse than even money against to fold. Basically, just raise flop what you think has most f/e, may be all in, may be slightly less, prob more than you raised tho.

What do you guys call 3-bets w/ PF? I 3-bet button raisers far more liberally than an UTG, MP, or even CO raises. I understand that KQo is an easily dominated hand, but isn't it near the top of your open raising range from the button? What hands would you call such a 3-bet from SB with?

i agree in that kq offsuit is my worst non pocket pair hand here that i will call with here in position. it seems i am also a bit more liberal with my range here but i feel with position advantage as well as it being nl200 the pf call wasnt that awful

I think opening with it is fine, but it is such a [censored] hand to play for a reraise.

A player who limps has a different range than a player who raises/reraises. Many players will limp with stuff like 22-99, K9+, A2+ and various suited connectors. A player who reraises has hands more like 99+ AK, AQ.

KQ plays well against the limpers range, but extremely bad against a 3-bettors range. When you hit, you probably don't know if you are good until it is too late. You also give up control of the hand by calling a raise. The reraiser can lead into you on the flop with a variety of air, and you will have a diffcult time deciphering when he hit as well. Therefore, you will have a hard time when you hit and when you miss.

Some hands that play better are big hands and suited connectors and pkt pairs (if you are sufficently deep/have a good read).

I am more likely to call a 3 bet with 76s than with KQ.
