Toward the end of a losing session, live 1/2 NL game. Table's been mostly nitty though SB (v1) has been TAG and UTG (v2) has been mostly weak/passive. SB has me covered (I have ~$130 left).

Hero in MP w/ KQs.

Limps to player to my right who makes it $12. I call, SB calls, UTG calls.

Flop Ts9s4h

SB leads for $25, UTG calls, pf raiser folds. I jam for $120 to go.

How'd I do?

Given context I would have likely made the same play. Hope one of the draws hit, sounds like a race vs. over pair to the board, TP w/ kicker, or something that connected.

do you have a FD? Your hand history says KQs, but not which suit.

I don't think SB is going to fold by your description of him.

I think this is fine. All of it works with stack size and possibly some FE. Two overs to the board, gutshot and FD... What other flop are you really looking for honestly?

I think you played the hand well postflop. Vs. hands like T9, TT, 99, 44, As4s - you have 40% equity.Also, you likely have a chance to take the pot down now and win with your semi-bluff as a lot of the hands your opponents have won't continue.

standard play

also buy in for 100bbs

if you had 100bbs i wouldnt jam for 190 i would make what would look like a value raise to
110-125 all day

but since u only have 120ish this is an easy jam

you have insane equity against any hand besides Ax of spades and even then u have outs

even agaist JJ+ you are ahead or flipping so an easy shove

I'm always starting w/ 100bbs, it was late and wanted to challenge myself to get back to my buy in. Needed an all-in spot and this was it.

KQ spades? If so I autoship. Overs and a gutshot is more questionable...how badly do you want to gamble? I don't mind the play.

Don´t flatcall 10% of your stack preflop with KQs at a nitty table.

His range crushes you, and you don´t have time for flushes and straights with 65bb.

Shortstacks can´t afford to "see flops".
