Hi!

Party, $0.10/$0.20 Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K 6
MP folds, CO calls, Hero raises, SB folds, BB 3-bets, CO calls, Hero calls

So I get top pair against a very strong range and a limper.

I have a good equity to call here, don't think I can raise, I wont protect my hand in any way, so I just call.

Board: QdKd7d
Equity Win Tie
CO 24.78% 22.83% 1.95% { 88-55, A9s-A2s, K9s-K2s, Q9s-Q3s, J7s+, T7s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, ATo-A4o, KJo-K8o, Q9o+, J9o+, T8o+, 97o+, 87o, 76o, 65o, 54o }
BU 33.87% 31.21% 2.66% { Kh6h }
BB 41.35% 39.38% 1.97% { 99+, A8s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QJo }

Flop: (9.5 SB) Q K 7 (3 players)
BB bets, CO calls, Hero calls

On the turn I'm only against BB, but the T brings my equity down , but the pot its big enough to call caise its giving me 7,3:1 odds so I just need a 13% equity to call.

Turn: (6.3 BB) T (3 players)
BB bets, CO folds, Hero calls

River its ok cause its not a diamond, and I call again I have enough equity against the handrange that would bet here.

Well played! Isolationraise Preflop is fine. CO has got a wide limping - range and K6s performs well enough against his range and you might pick up the blinds, getting headsup with the fish. Calling the Flop is certainly ok. You have toppair but BB's Range is strong. According to your Equity analysis, it's almost breakeven between calling and raising and thus i'd think about:

- would bb reraise a worse hand like AQ and push off CO from a small flushdraw.

He definitely could reraise AQ with no flushdraw but thats almost the only hand we are performing well against and we wanna gets headsup with but against his entire range, consisting of AJ AT AQ AK QQ KK AA with :diamond: we don't wanna be getting headsup with BB. So i do actually prefer calling as well but raising is certainly not a mistake as he does still have worse pocketpairs, AT or AJ that he's not gonna be betting again on the Turn.

Both options are viable but since you have position and equity shift could be tremendous, i'd use power of position and wait for the turncard where you can still consider to play raise/fold 3handed, although i don't like it against unknown dude. I'd rather prefer calling.

Once AJ got there and you do just have a valueraise against AQ or JJ, the hand isn't any longer strong enough for raising. Calling down is just fine but folding obviously too weak as he may bet through with JJ or AQ.
