    Default 6 max hand, too passive?

    This was a hand from a glory post I had posted not sure if I really like my turn and river play here.

    Was new to the table but from what I saw in the handfull of hands people were basically playing bingo with any 2. I wanted to get HU ASAP here but seeing as how anything seemed playable to these people I wasn't sure if I should still be raising here? Looking back I'm thinking I should've at least raised the turn card, right?

    I really don't think you were too passive here. Pre-flop 3-betting with KQo is actually fairly frisky depending on what your opponents are like.

    On the turn you are either way ahead or you are drawing dead, you can't fold and raising will stop your opponent from betting again on the river. Again it is player dependant.

    I assume that you have no reads since you didn't mention any, so call the turn and call the river and be happy when he shows you the 9 or JavaScript.

    Yeah I didn't really have many reads, but I was involved in a few hands with the players here already and people were playing and betting anything they had. Didn't seem uncommon for someone to raise and almost the whole table cold call. While I wasn't certain my hand was the best I figured it to be better that what most of the players were holding after seeing some SD's.

    The 3 bet PF isn't a normal thing for me with this hand usually I'll toss it against a raise form UTG.
