NL Holdem $0.10/0.25 Blinds - 6 Players

This is about my 6th hand at this table so no reads on any players other than looking at there stack sizes.

CO - Hero $24.75
SB - $5.25
BB - $25.65

Hero is dealt K Q

Folds to Hero, Hero raises to $0.75, SB Calls, BB Calls.

Pot $3, 4 players.

Flop: K Q 4

SB goes all in for $4.50, BB calls, Hero?

To be honest despite my short time at the table I believe I'm in front at this point as the general play at these stakes is very erratic to say the least, however if a heart comes off then I have no doubt I'm beat. Easy fold?

I think a high percentage of the time you are ahead here (at limits any higher then this, you are likely behind however and it would be an easy fold). From what I have witnessed at these levels, it is very likely that SB is pushing with either a Q or a K and is afraid of the flush and the BB is smooth calling with the Ace of hearts. That being said I still fold here almost every time and wait for a better spot, because as I am sure you know, your big hands will get paid off at this level. How did it turn out?

You can't fold here because you're scared a heart might come on the turn or river. That would be a really bad reason to fold. I think you have 2 options.

1. shove right here so that he doesn't have odds to chase (I think?). About 19-20 to win 33 so not quite getting the 2-1 that he needs.

2. flat call and shove a non heart turn, he definately won't have odds to call here.

I could see a fold if you had just top pair, but top two I feel is too strong to fold.

The only hands I'd be worried about is 44 or the nut flush, a lower flush should be raising to isolate I would think since a heart either kills him or the action.

Fairly standard call here. Pot is just a little less than villain has. Villain is probably (rightly) counting on you not having a made flush yet. and pushed with a K. It's possible he has a redraw, but I think at this level, with this hand, with this pot and these chips, I call.

The BB called after the SB pushed, thus I think you have to raise here..Since a standard raise would be putting more than 1/2 your stack in, I think shoving is the correct play here. You can hopefully get HU with the SB, whose range you have crushed and with some dead money in the pot

I think that shoveling is probably fine here. I'd be confident you're ahead of the BB a majority of the time here and he might call the AI if he has a hand like AhQx or something similar.

I don't hate calling and shoveling a non-heart turn either. The problem is that you're in a bad spot if the BB leads into you on a blank turn. I dunno, I guess I like shoveling the flop.

Didn't even see BB call. Gotta shove then.

Yeah, I'm never folding this hand on the flop. You're almost never behind the player that's all-in, and the BB probably either has a hand like acid said, AhQx, or he could have a hand like AhJx, Ah10x.

I'd probably shovel the flop also, if the BB has you beat and the turn card isn't a heart, you're getting it in anyway. If he has a made flush you still have outs as well.

The SB was a short stacker and just could have a random Kx too. A lot of a idiot donks shove when they have no money on scare boards like this. I think the most likely situation though is something like this:

Ok.... here's what happened... I was really unsure as what to do here but I took my time and decidied to shove all-in, the BB calls instantly and I'm think this doesn't look good.

Turn:

River:

BB Shows: ... what a fish!

I asked how he calls my push & he responds "Top pair & flush draw"...

I reloaded and got my self even with 3/4 hour and even made small profit for the session, although this player left the table almost immediately as is often the case.
