This hand wasn't played right, and wasn't wrong either imo. I think it's good play, but that's matter of opinion i guess.
Preflop. I have KQo, pretty good hand, at this limit a miniraise usually means weakness (any king with a kicker, any ace, low pairs, qj). I get 1:5.5 pot odds. I don't think I have much FE, but have to call imo.
Flop: Now this is interesting. I have 2nd nutflushdraw, and 2 overcards. Im favourite against any pp (except aces), have some odds against a set, or 2 pair, and most important, I have good FE on this sick board. On the one hand, it's dry, on the other hand, it's monochrome, so dangerous. Odds of someone having hit here are quite small, and if I get a call, Im often in good shape still. I even have FE against AhX (the hand i dont want to call). I know I have FE because I saw him think a long time, or this was a coincidence, but I dont believe that. Anyway, a lower raise would commit me, and the good FE, plus good equity with a call, made me push this flop for +/- pot size. Discuss!
