Villain is 18/10/1 over 29 hands... not really too helpful. I saw him minraise from utg w/ KQos earlier, and got it all in against K5 on a K high flop.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1000 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG (t12024)
UTG+1 (t57863)
MP1 (t21882)
MP2 (t27340)
Hero (t40001)
CO (t12220)
Button (t27034)
SB (t28418)
BB (t14720)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with [Kc], [Qs].
4 folds, Hero raises to t2600, 1 fold, Button calls t2500, SB calls t2000, BB raises to t14720, Hero ???????????

absolutly no decision...

Respect the Barry play. Villain has to figure he's getting called in at least one place. KQ is a rather odd hand to have here, because there is *so little* that we are ahead of, and yet *so little* that we are that far behind. if it was just you and the BB, then this is a definite call, because he *has* to have precisely AA/KK/QQ/AQ/AK for you to be anything worse than a coin flip.

But two to act behind you with 10% of their chips already in the pot, this makes this a pretty easy fold. KQ really not known to play well with more than one opponent wink.gif Be glad you can toss this, and have enough chips that making the correct play barely dents your stack.

lolwtf..... that's wierd. I had to use a different hand converter because FTR was down yesterday.

Just wanted to see if anyone had an argument for calling here based on reads that this was a very weak player, and I wasn't too worried about the passive-donks behind me.

It's a pretty awkward position to be in, but I think I shovel. You're getting 2/1, and I can't see SB or Button having AK/AQ/AA/KK/QQ very often.

I'd fold with little hesitation. If he's making this move with any Ace, you're behind. Plus you have two other players who have already called your raise still to act (even though you say you're not worried about them). You've built up a nice stack and I don't think you want to see an almost 15000 chip chunk taken out of it.

This was my initial thought on the hand. I however decided to fold, figuring I'd be able to chip away from the shorter stacks along the way pretty easily. No reason to take the risk. Looking back, I wish I had called because of how he had played before. Oh well.

Looks like the converter added your ante to the raise. 100 ante seems about right for that level.

I think you made the right move. Sure, you may very well be up against a coinflip here, but why take that risk now? If he is a very weak player, you will find a better spot to move in for the kill.
