PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $3.00+$0.25 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) (t1430)
UTG (t1420)
MP (t4855)
Button (t940)
SB (t355)

Hero's M: 19.07

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, K
1 fold, MP calls t50, 2 folds, Hero raises to t200, MP calls t150

Flop: (t425) 6, J, 5 (2 players)
Hero bets t150, MP calls t150

Turn: (t725) Q (2 players)
Hero bets t300, 1 fold

Total pot: t725

maybe bet less on turn but I think better finish off pot right here than let villain.

I guess hero goes broke if villain reraises allin?

MP call pre flop is just screaming pp so I think a little tester bet on the flop is ok, maybe even a check.
On turn you are either way ahead or he has trips. Any bet bigger than 300 pretty much commits you to the pot so I think bet 300, fold to a reraise.

I just check this preflop. A hand like KQs OOP will give you bad reverse implied odds, + I dont really feel the need to play for a big pot OOP.

Against unknown I'd put his range on PP and suited aces, perhaps some random hands. KQ is pretty easy to play against that range, so just bet flop when K or Q hits the board.

As played I would bet/fold flop around 300 chips.

edit:
As played turn I would make a higher bet aswell, something like 2/3 pot


i check this preflop. The on the flop i check/fold, if he give me a freecard on the turn i would be half pot.

Hi all,

I would check this hand preflop and raise KQs, but as played I would bet more on the flop (like just over half pot) and more on the turn (again just over half pot). We fold flop and turn to a reraise.

Thanks for all the answers, what does PP mean?

according Harrington once the pot becomes big a bet of 1/3 usually takes the pot incase villain has nothing or little?

Also I believe that KQ at this limit and in this spot usually is much stronger than what MP limp in with?
