    Default KQ hand

    Villain had shown 2 hands. Flopped 2 pair early on and checked all the way to the river and won a small pot with a river bet. Other time, called every street with OESD and won on river. Won a bunch of small pots with bets on the flop/turn. Rarely raised pf, but saw a lot of hands.

    I think I messed this up in several spots. How do you play this hand on each street?

    Check or push. Since you have so much in the pot seems like a push bluff may be in order.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    I would have raised the flop and pushed the turn.

    I think on how the hand was played you have to check river.. He has you covered in chips and even if he had Ace nine he still may call with two pair on board thinking his ace plays. If he flopped straight he's probably still going to call and flush on turn is check calling all the way. If he had QQ or KK he is still going to call being stubborn and verifing how stupid he was for not raising pre flop. I am thinking the only hand he folds is the one where your K high is actually good and you check and sweep anyway. A raise pre flop was def.. in order from the button who cares if it is predictable, you still have position whether people call or not.

    I don't mind raising the flop, but to take the free river. You're 6-handed. You're risking your tournament life to steal a pot that isn't worth much by pushing. People do some really stupid things to knock themselves out by this time and you're looking to double up or have more folding equity..

    I don't think he has a pair before the flop and if so, he's not folding a PP that he'd bet here (99), so he either caught a ten that he's not laying down on the turn or a flush draw that hit on the turn, I think. This is why I like raising the flop because he'll laydown the ten there many times and you'll know where you're at on the turn. That's a bad, bad turn. This guy's a pretty passive-donk. Never bluff a calling station. Check the river when you miss, and this is a HUGE miss. All you can really beat is K9 and he's only laying down where he has A9, you have the best hand, you're splitting, 77, 66, or he has an 8. And you beat any PP smaller than 8's.
