Hi,

I would most likely fold your hand pre-flop. I would likely not fold top two postflop, since you should generally have there 35% equity being 3-way. BB most likely have aces and MP is shoving most pair+draw type hands and any two pair.

best regards,

Hi,

preflop you can fold. Postflop the fold makes no sense, the only thing you can do is raise and get the money in. After all, if you fold top 2 pair when there are no straights or flushes possible, you should fold this hand before you flop so good.

Regards,

Skod

preflop fold?
you mean against 3 bet in 3 way?

if its head up ,I can easily call against 3 bet,right?

or calling against open raise is bad?

I think its enough strong to see flop with position

Hi,

If we look your hands separately, then KQ is playable and QTs is playable. All the other hand combos you likely just would fold against MP raise at holdem. So although KQT8 does not look too bad, it isn´t really that strong hand and you don´t make any mistake to folding against potsize raise.
If it would be K high suit or KQT9 then I would most likely either 3-bet or call more often.

best regards,

My point is that you flopped a top 5% flop for your hand, so you cannot possibly make a fold now. It's so - EV, that it would be better to fold this hand at any point preflop (it would be a better play then folding flop, but still a bad play).

You played the hand ok untill the flop, but the flop fold is terrible.
