[Closed] KQo, IP float vs reg. Spew?

Hello CheckBop,

Preflop: Guess I wouldn't even Call it here unless I expect the opponent being very fishy and we can easily get paid if we do hit big. Of course it's possible to play but your KQ hand will way too often dominate by better kicker.

As played
Postflop: Most likely he would 2nd barrel there if he had Ax hand. Since from MP2 he often times has a rather stronger range which says as well strong Ax hand. Therefore I guess your line is doable.

Best regards.

What about raising the flop to $0.6? It's slightly cheaper and we make Tx fold directly. We represent an Ax protecting from FD that way. One problem is that he may call if he has a FD, or even shove.

Well there are several reasons actually why I wouldn't raise. Since I expect very often the opponent to give up on turn if he doesn't have the Ax. Which means on such a board if he is giving it up on turn then most likely ain't a Ax hand. Why? Because if he had Ax hand then he would definitely 2nd barrel it and protect his hand.

But of course your given reason are fine as well, if we consider him going to Call you loose on later streets then it might be better line. But as we right now take the opponent rather not that loose and reasonable player then floating is fine as well.

How is it cheaper? When I float and bet when he checks I only bet $0.46, which would be alot less than a feasible flop raise.

Also, it doesn't represent and Ace so well as why would I raise an ace on this flop vs MP2 opener? Even if I have AK which isn't in my cc range I would prefer to flat and let him value own himself with his AQ, AJ.

You also have to call $0.20 on the flop to float.

And it represents well an Ax, many TAGs play TPs like that, and there's a FD and 98 SD on the board.
