Hi everybody.
This is a situation very difficult for me.
I talk about preflop game.
I have a good hand like KQ in sb, but many players called before me.
I think that if i raise many players would call me, and i will play a big pot op.
What is the right decision?
I think that maybe i should push but i have 20bb
Preflop: Hero is SB with K Q
MP1 folds, MP2 calls 50, MP3 folds, CO calls 50, BTN calls 50, Hero completes, BB checks
Flop: (250) K 2 8 (5 players)
Hero bets 165, BB folds, MP2 calls 165, CO folds, BTN raises to 825 and is all-in, Hero raises to 919 and is all-in, MP2 folds
Turn: (2,065) A (2 players, 2 are all-in) River: (2,065) 7 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: 2,065 pot
Final Board: K 2 8 A 7
BTN showed 8 K and won 2,065 (1,190 net)
Hero showed K Q and lost (-875 net)
BB mucked and lost (-50 net)
MP2 mucked and lost (-215 net)
CO mucked and lost (-50 net)
I like shoving preflop - you're going to get folds a large majority of the time and you're in decent shape if you get called unless MP2 is being dumb with AA, but that's not going to happen very often.
