Preflop: This is awful play. Try to stay away from limping KQ multiway, since you won't be getting much value if you hit but you could lose a stack. If you decide to play you should raise - $0,35 or $0,40. You will be IP and most likely won't have more than 1 or 2 opponents. With limping you invite the blinds too. What is risky is that you might hit TPGK but some of your opponents might hit set.

Flop: I would raise to pot - $0,30 or even more. Board is super draw heavy and we can expect to get even uglier. Any J, T, A, :heart: makes our hand a trash. So I would advise caution, especially if 2 opponents call.

Turn: When action goes with bet and minr your hand is probably not good anymore. JT is very likely, :heart: :heart: also in their range and you don't have even backdoor Q :heart: to hope for a win. At the same time one of your opp might have one of your K or Q so FH to hit is even less likely. I would just fold here.

Very nice hand to post! This is great example for top 2 pair and to work on your leak. Good luck :)

Hello benaars,

Preflop: Don't like completing here at all. KQo in multiway pots is really horrible to play. Either isolate or just fold the hand.

As played
Flop: Against such a bet size Id' definitely raise it bigger, ~$0,45 which is pot size and then reevaluate the further actions.

As played
Turn: While even a draw completed I'd just fold it right here, not worth risking with the money while it was a "freeplay" for us preflop.

Best Regards.
