UTG+2 (t2580)
Button (t1940)
Hero (MP2) (t2000)
CO (t1980)
UTG (t2000)
BB (t2000)

Hero's M: 33.33

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q, K
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t40, UTG+2 calls t40, 1 fold, Hero calls t40, 3 folds, SB bets t100, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t80, UTG+2 calls t80, Hero calls t80

Flop: (t520) 8, 10, Q (4 players)
SB bets t120, UTG+1 calls t120, UTG+2 calls t120, Hero calls t120

Turn: (t1000) A (4 players)
SB bets t400, UTG+1 calls t400, UTG+2 calls t400, Hero folds

River: (t2200) 8 (3 players)
SB raises to t1200 (All-In), UTG+1 calls t1020 (All-In), 1 fold

Total pot: t4420

How should this be played?? Raise/fold flop? I thought KQ was too weak to raise pre- with my position and multiple limpers.

If i were in your place i would raise high with KQ as on the board on the flop if u make a high raise you might eliminate someone holding an ace\8 right away and even if someone else had a Q chances are low they would have a higher kicker definitely makes sense to raise right at the start

Hello Brade88,

Preflop:

I don't like your limp. We have two options in this spot. To iso raise or to fold. If you chose to raise it is OK to raise to ~180 chips.

Flop:

We got TP and we can't give free cards for villains draws. We should raise to ~600 chips. If someone pushes we should call him. He can do it with weaker Q or some draws. It's going to be a cooler if someone got two pairs but this is the risk that we take with just call preflop.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
