Once you get 3 callers preflop, with the K on the flop, your hand now is probably trash. Hard to believe that QQ can be trash, but in this situation, I think it is.

OOP here against three opponents, I even c/fold the flop. But once BU calls your cbet, it is c/fold the rest for sure. He nearly always has at least a King.

What line to take with one opponent?

OOP: C-bet all the time?
IP: Check behind with no action? Is floating standard, if villain bets?

Yeah, have same qustions...if you play big pairs like QQ and KK OOP and there is one overcard on flop...which line play?


Against 1 opponent, IP or OOP, I would cbet. You can easily rep AK.

There is much less likelihood that a single opponent has the King. Doesn't mean he won't, but his range is much wider. Remember, against three opponents in this example, two of them folded to your cbet.

So on average, if you imagine a scenario where you played this hand against each of these opponents, but where preflop you had only been called by one of them each time, 66% of the time, your cbet is successful, and you take down the pot.

You also don't need to cbet so large against just one. OOP you can shut down when called. IP, you often get a free turn, and can have river miracles.

EDIT: If villain donks, without reads, it looks like a fold. You can call one bet, and if he checks the turn then bet yourself. Often when they barrell at this level, they just keep going.

Hi all,

90 pre and check/fold the flop as others have said :).
