I played this hand a little bit unorthodox i think.

How about my raise preflop? Alot of limpers, so domination is not a big threat IMO. Then, the FPS player makes it three bets. Im not really worried about a limped AA here. After he checks the flop, i decide to bet out.

My reasoning was that MP2 could not have that Q. I believe he would bet it if he had it. Now, if i get called or raised by one of the other players i slow down and try to make my flush. They both fold on my turn bet, but strange enough, MP2 calls.

Now, what do you think of my river bet?

I'd really consider capping pf.

I like the rest of the hand.

Am I the only one that doesn't like raising from the SB with KJs?

Am I missing something? I'd want to get in cheaply and see a flop.

All our opponents limped. We have definite equity edge pf. This is a value raise.

I think the only mistake of the hand was the 3 better not betting the flop.

If you are going to try and make a play w k4 he should have showed strength thru out the whole hand.

preflop is splendid.
flop good.
I c/c turn with outs and no hand against 3 others.
River bet good.

**** read replies****

cap ??
Why go HU with a LRR'er ?
Well.. I guess it gives us dead money or value if both others call two cold.
I prefer just callnig 3-bet here.

you all really like the turn bet ?

If we cap, it's unlikely to end up HU. Plus all that dead money if it does.

Also notice the position of the LRR. He limped first after 2 other callers. Generally when LRR's are strong is when they limp first in. When the limp after a few others then reraise, it usually means a gambooling hand liek a suited connector or pp. I would think we are either ahead of the LRR or 50/50 with him about 90% of the time. I would cap pf for value.

Turn bet has a lot of FE given the flop action.

I dont understand the preflop raise. with kjs you are likely to be dominated and unless you hit your str8 or flush you are likely to lose this hand. You guys seem to disagree with me so I must be missing something.

how you figure?

You are raising for value when you are certainly going to win far more than your share of the hands against 5 limpers.

I like this only because MP2 is a complete donk

Where do you find these guys who three bet preflop and then check the flop?
