Preflop and the flop are okay, although I would probably go for a checkraise on the flop instead, figuring on BB to auto-bet. (Still, he might raise a worse hand versus your flop lead, and there are advantages to this in a 3-way pot on a drawish board like this one.)

As played on the flop, I would have bet the turn, but I don't think the check is going to cost you the pot very often or anything. The pot has gotten fairly large, and CO is probably going to the river with whatever he has.

The river seems fine. I would have called if CO bet.

Don't post results.

PF the limp is standard in the SB. Once BB raises I'm tempted to fold. His range is probably pretty narrow at 1/2.

On the flop I would check/raise unless you have a read BB likes to raise donkbets. Once CO raises I like the 3 bet. I would bet the turn, I wouldn't be too worried about the ace, there are plenty of made hands without an ace, and he might even have a draw and we don't want to be giving a free card.

Thx for your replies.

What i don't understand though, is why i should go for a checkraise on the flop. If BB bets and CO calls and i raise, then both of them will call very likely and IMOP my hand is'nt that strong.

I generally have the feeling that i have problems with playing hands like K9o, K8o. Q9o, q8o... do you have any generall advice for playing hands like these?

Your hand has an equity edge on the flop once BB bets and CO calls, so raise. I prefer check/raising to donking as I think you'll be in bad shape alot of the time once BB raises your donk, but once BB autobets and CO calls your hand is looking pretty good.

As for how to play those hands, generally you shouldn't unless you're in the blinds.
