10 hyper bvb KJo

I am raising pre or as played fold on the flop

You have a little bit a awkward stack on the moment and around the bubble playing a big pot out of position is tricky. Problem with raising pre-flop is that you give villain a change to 3bet shove light on you and than you need to fold most of the time.

I wouldn't mind to limp/call to keep the pot smaller. Flop is indeed a fold. You have 4 outs for a straight (now it's 4,because we know villains hole cards, but in game we don't know this) and is tough to know if you're cards are life as well.

Turn play is fine as played.

I agree , that was the reason why i play like this , i dont want to raise and call shove ..

Any reads on BB is very nice in these spots. Limp is indeed fine option and it's mainly call. I think limp-shove is fine as well if we have read that villain is raising wide. But issue is that BB should be worried of limp-shove possibility and raise fairly polarized in this spot.

Though KQo is sort of hand you shouldn't be thrilled if getting shoved on. Anyway if he is raising that he should be calling shove imo.

Flop comes back to what we think about BB preflop range as this flop he likely cbets often. These get tricky with hand type we have when facing small cbet. One point is we have very few Ax in our range so K high with nut gutshot is fairly potential. We probably should call but don't hate fold either without any form of bd fd potential. Like if we had KJ with bd fd I would always call flop.

Turn is mandatory call as played. With deeper stacks turn x-r might be interesting line to take but in this case it doesn't make sense.
