UTG+1 raises, Hero folds, Button calls.Flop: (11.50 SB) [4c], [Qs], [9h] (3 players)UTG+1 bets, UTG+1 calls.Turn: (9.75 BB) [Qd] (3 players)UTG+1 bets, UTG+1 calls.River: (13.75 BB) [Jh] (3 players)UTG+1 checks, Button bets, UTG+1 calls.Final Pot: 15.75 BBafter that kind of action, you figure one guy has AA, the other KK, right?Nope, UTG+1 had 22, Button had A8s Now wtf is that about, i wouldve won a pretty big pot. Does, anyone think I shouldve played for 2 more bets?

You can't call two more with KQoActually your first call is a bit loose, sucks about the flop, but there's very good reasons not to get involved :D
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Actually it was KQs, but I know what you mean.

Hmm...if its KQs, then you actually could three bet this hand yourselfThough I think you'd still have to give it up on the flop

Do NOT 3-bet KQs unless you have some kind of read that he guy is a maniac/very loose raiser.The call preflop is borderline in this case, I would have liked it alot more if someone had already called or if you knew someone else would come along for the ride, without raising.

Well, needless to say then, I will be 3-betting those 2 guys with KQs from now on.

You were correct to make the first call, at .50/1 limit tables your KQs is going to get paid off a lot more than it should.By the time it got back to you, with only two other people in the pot, I would have folded as well. KQ is a hand that is too easily dominated by other hands, and with all the action you would figure one for AA-JJ and another for AK or AQ.Now what if there had been two or three more people along for the ride? With KQs I'd call all day at those low stakes, because if you hit your flop hard you’re fixing to take down a huge pot because a lot of people are going to ride their hands out to the river, refusing to lay them down because of the size of the pot, and it will pay you off nicely.It doesn't matter what the results are or were, it just matters that you make the correct move every time, and that was the correct move there.Remember though, this is a strategy against loose maniac players that play at these low stakes. Against better players, what to do with that hand is a different story.
