Why the raise with KQ off preflop? Marginal value raise...maybe.Good flop raise, but that wasn't a raise for a free card. Protecting your hand and value, maybe, but certainly not for a free card.Rest of the hand is standard.

I'm definitely w/ Mr. Smash on this one. Standard pf raise.

preflop raise is an Equity Play.There were 4 limpers (1 a poster) and blind's $$ too.uh..at least that what I figured out so far from my readings...

I was wondering why there were some many people limping in the pot, and then i realized you are playing at party now instead of full tilt. Good choice!
