KQo is a hand that often costs me a lot of chips... how should I handle situations with multiple limpers like this?

Titan Poker 100.00/200.00, hand converted by the iPoker Converter at Talking-Poker

saw flop | saw showdown

Button kaikai130379 ($2360.00)
SB Hero ($2030.00)
BB SergioSo4i ($1440.00)
UTG GorraDelDiablo ($1220.00)
UTG+1 NEILOG ($4810.00)
CO-1 DART2007 ($1730.00)
CO hellyeahpoker ($1410.00)

Preflop: Hero is in the SB with K♠ Q♥
2 folds, DART2007 calls 100.00, hellyeahpoker calls 100.00, 1 fold, Hero raises to 500.00, 1 fold, DART2007 calls 400.00, 1 fold.

It depends on your read on DART2007, but with no read I would push here, neither player is showing strength and unless the BB wakes up with a big hand I doubt you get called here. If you do get called I imagine he has a pocket pair and your in a coinflip, and with the dead money on the table makes a coinflip profitable here (cEV wise, not sure about $ wise).

But defiantly don't make a raise here, either push or fold, and as played I would have pushed the flop, only a small chance he has the A, and defiantly not a 5.

Hi all,

The blinds are 50/100, so Hero is sitting with 20BB. As such, I don't think we can make a push preflop profitable on the off-chance someone is slowplaying, or decided, for whatever reason, to limp/call with AQ, AK, etc.

What I would do is limp preflop. When we raise we commit 1/4 of our stack preflop, as well as being out of position.

Well played on the flop, although bet/folding is not bad either.

Yeah the iPoker converter is annoying at times ;).. If there were more limpers, and we had KQs we can push preflop by the way.
