NL10 KQo

Posted 8 years ago

This was a bit of a tricky one...
this is vs what seems to be a reg looking player, anon again.
I think things seems to be ok until the river... but my question is... is this ever a call?

Does a decent ace ever want to check the turn? And then why so big on the river when my hand strength is usually not going to be strong at all here? Seems like if he has a good ace then this bet size just folds out too much to get value from.

Player 1(SB) $12.47 - VP:57 PFR:57 AF:Inf. W:100|100 STL:100|100 3B:0|0 CB:100| N:2.32 Hands:7
Player 2(BB) $5.10 - VP:42 PFR:5 AF:1.5 W:33|44 STL:19|50 3B:2|50 CB:100|50 N:-5.20 Hands:77
Me(UTG) $10
Player 4(MP) $11.42 - VP:20 PFR:20 AF:1.0 W:0| STL:67|50 3B:17| CB: N:1.42 Hands:15
Player 5(CO) $29.16 - VP:27 PFR:15 AF:7.0 W:22|20 STL:69|80 3B:2| CB:56|100 N:-1.32 Hands:103
Player 6(BTN) $16.05 - VP:27 PFR:16 AF:2.0 W:40|75 STL:53|56 3B:7|67 CB:67|40 N:1.32 Hands:93

I usually fold in these spots. Villain will usually bet the turn if he wants to continue bluffing.

I can see this being a weaker Ax pot controlling, he's happy to bet big over two streets but doesn't want to put a third street in.

You're probably giving him too much credit for appreciating that your range is weak and he needs to bet smaller for value.

This may even be a fold pre flop as KQo UTG is not really as strong as you think.

After calling the flop (which I think could even be a fold), I'd be giving up to any further action on the turn or river. River is a standard fold.

My bad, this is KQs

Think I'd fold the flop and run away this time, it's 3 handed so BU bets into 2 opps to get a call from someone rather than let it chk round.
That's how I see it happening quite often anyway. The alternative is when they do this with an underpair or a set, but multiway and on that flop I find the former hard to swallow.
