300 effective; loose passive play pre-flop type of game

Few limpers and i look at KQs in the SB, i make it 14, I could just complete here, building a pot OOP that will likely go multiway isn't the best option so maybe i should size up or just complete here; I feel like AK/AQ isn't in my opponents limping range so that's why i wanted to raise this one

3 callers, pot(66); F: AJ4(ddh) ; I check the flop thinking my cb won't get through often enough bc they have some AX in their limping range and i didn't think i would get this one through 3 players so i check, checked around;

T: 7os ; I lead this turn for 25 planning on double barreling brick rivers to fold out weak Ax, Jx, and FD's ; i think strong AX is betting the flop so i went with the delayed cbet here; maybe my bets too small? 1 caller from OG in LP who is pretty passive player, i think he has (AX, Jx, FD's)

R: 4os pot(106); i bet 50 a little less than half pot ; maybe i should size up on the river


i appreciate feedback on any street here


looking back i think giving up on the turn makes sense bc i can't really rep an A after checking the flop so this was just a poorly played hand on my part but still curious as to what people think about this one

I usually complete pre, but a raise that will get several callers is OK. KQs plays fine multiway and in a l/p game raising isn't going to thin the field much. I prefer not to play bloated pots OOP though, so I prefer the complete.

AP, good check OTF. They have a crap-ton of AX in their ranges.

AP to turn, way too small. Either give up, or bet 2/3 pot. I would give up if these guys have a clue, as your TP hands that were worth raising pre (AJ+) are definitely bets OTF, so a delayed c-bet will be very fishy to them. If they are completely clueless, I'd also give up, as they are likley the type to l/c Ax and never fold TP. Only Vs worth targetting are those in-betweeners.

AP to river, you are never, ever folding out Ax for under half pot, and prob not Jx if he was willing to call turn with it. His FDs might fold, but we have SDV vs. them. Normally I'd give up here, but since we bet so small OTT there may be some stuff in his range that beats us and will fold. Maybe. If I were going to barrel, I'd be going 2/3-3/4 pot.

Preflop is fine although I would mostly raise to $20 or just complete.
Flop...with 3 callers Im just checking and giving up
Turn...still giving up. Nobody will ever believe you have an Ace. Nobody is folding Ax or Jx on this turn. You probably also get called by a FD and will have no idea where you are on the river.

Overall, your turn and river bets are spew. You never know who or how many people are going to call preflop. Maybe the table was tight and $14 was about right. I dont know, but for the most part size your raises (especially when OOP) to get HU or at most 2 callers and you will have many more options post flop. Once you get 3 callers, just give up.

I think it's a pretty standard pre-flop raise, but would size up, say $18 or so.

I'd check all streets when the hand goes 4-way. Being in the SB is a disadvantage, thus the larger pre sizing. If last to act when checked to on turn, I'd stab, but trying to get through from oop is challenging.

Raising is fine pre. Sizing is fine.

Post flop was awful. I don't bluff Ace high boards into multiple callers. But this is great spot to double barrel (I still wouldn't)

Turn and river is throwing money down garbage disposal

Raise pre is good, I like it larger so we don't get 3 callers, so $18.

I'm just giving up post but I wouldn't hate bombing someone off a weak Ax with huge bets, need to start on the flop to do that though.

id just limp pre
