only read: Tight preflop, seems solid post flop. Hit two pair to dbl up early, not to active

That worked out nicely. I'm raising the flop to try and take it down and also take the lead at the pot.

I also like the overbet here too. Maybe something like 2000 on the river, because if he has the Q you are getting paid.

Please raise preflop.

I think the flop call is ok. Maybe raise the turn, but I'm good with the smooth call as well. Raise more on the river. You will get called. Actually, just push.



P.S. Sorry I'm not Holyfield. I hope you aren't too disappointed.

I think the UTG limp is ok, because you will dominate many possible limping hands, and generally I don't mind playing KQ postflop. I'd say it's really a pretty marginal decision either way. Turn call is fine. I would definately raise bigger on river, hoping he has Q. I'd raise to at least 1500, and sometimes even push depending on opponent.

I'd raise pf, since the big stacks are in the blinds and you'll have position on them, but not a huge difference.

Id push the river also...you might even get calls from blanks, thinking you are just trying to steal 1/2 the pot.

I figured he was playing the board too often to make a river push worth while.
I thought his lead was to freeze any bluffs, and he would not have called much. I figured he had like AT, T8, something like that. As opposed to QT / Q8, Qc6c

Had I not shown any action after his turn lead, I wonder if more of you would recommed a turn raise. And if we dont' see him call the river, how would that change. Yeah, I know, not at all you all are very objective.


I'm torn on not raising the turn
To me it's probably the best time to get more in against most of his holdings. He's a solid player and I don't think he puts much in on the river with out a hand he puts just as much in now (unless it's two pair that boats up)
