KQo BB defend - $7.50 PKO

Posted 6 years ago

Villain is big stack at the table and had cb 5/5 over 110 hand sample

I haven't worked through this on equilab yet but I will do and post the results.

I think flop and turn are reasonably standard, in game though I did the think the flop sizing was pretty strange and then increasing to half pot on this turn concerned me slightly.

The question is can we call river profitably?

At first glance I think so given that we block a decent amount of his 2p and straight combos as well as not blocking Q hearts which also works in our favour I believe.

If were not calling this hand in this situation whats thew worst hand we should play this way that calls?

Damn this is a crazy tough spot and I think I call down also!

To jam this river he has to have a flush, trips or better...and we block the Kx full houses and it's btn vs bb so i think we just have to go with it. Also we shouldn't be that strong which means we probably get bluffed way more frequently here. Plus we have a pretty strong hand

Assuming the turn was a 10??

With our stack we have to call the river also, although maybe lead the flop, it's very wet and we have a vulnerable hand, the 10h turn especially without a heart in our hand just makes it a world of pain. Fold turn or call turn and any non heart river
