Preflop: Hero is SB with K K
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls 20, MP1 calls 20, 4 folds, Hero raises to 120, BB folds, UTG+2 calls 100, MP1 calls 100

Flop: (380) Q 5 8 (3 players)

Turn: (1,100) 8 (3 players)

Results:

Spoiler

2,600 pot
Final Board: Q 5 8 8 7
Hero showed K K and lost (-860 net)
UTG+2 mucked 7 Q and lost (-860 net)
MP1 showed A A and won 2,600 (1,740 net)

When both opponents called, I figured they had a made hand and a diamond draw to go along with it or they had the nuts and was slow playing it.

I checked the turn for that reason and when both opponents checked behind and the river came a blank, I decided to bet out because I was either beat and had to call a big bet anyways or I was ahead against Q-xs hand.

Seat 6: Player6 ( 1550 ) - VPIP: 60, PFR: 20, 3B: 100, AF: 0.4, Hands: 5
Seat 7: Player7 ( 1500 ) - VPIP: 40, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 1.5, Hands: 5

hi,
preflop: ok
flop: c-bet/fold - c-bet smaller to 190 and fold vs aggression because its multi-way
turn: as played, check/fold - good check, no need to bet again multi-way
river: as played, check/fold - its close between c/f and block bet/fold, bet smaller to 350, I think I just c/f because its multi-way

Hello all,

I like how you played it. Out of position check on the turn is fine. Also the river bet for value from queen and other weaker made hands is good. Of course we are bet folding there.

Thanks guys, this was a pretty interesting spot with KK here.

What if we had K :diamond: ??

Flop: Bet half the pot/call a re-raise all-in?

Turn: If I had K :diamond: I'd probably check behind here if unimproved

River: Bet around half for value from Q-xs if unimproved

I would only change the flop decision and I would bet to ~280 chips and stack off if someone shove. On the turn I don't like betting because we are forced to call if someone shove because us Janosikgdy we got much more equity and we can be against some Q with a draw and etc. Even against a flush we are going to have equity to call if we bet so I would check back again than to bet. I prefer this option.
On the river I would play it the same way. What king we don't don't change much the situation.
