Hey,

Was playing 1/2 live somewhat recently and had the following hand...

Hero (~100 BB deep) in BB w/ K10o. Two MP callers (~100 BB deep), button calls (~150 BB deep), SB folds. Hero raises to $10; 1 MP folds, 1 calls, button calls.

Flop: KQ10 rainbow. Hero leads with $10. MP folds, button raises to $25. Hero???

What do you guys think on this spot?

pre is very bad.

sizing just makes it a lot worse.

If you want to squeeze preflop go much bigger. Start with $20 and probably more out of the BB. At 1/2 your squeezes won't get you heads up as often as you would hope so generally don't squeeze OOP.

On the flop with about $33 in the pot betting $10 on this flop is just inviting a raise that leaves you with no idea where you stand. The raise would be AJ/AK/KQ/QT any JX, possibly TT and some chance of just raising on principle when you make a weak bet.

Unless you know button is only raising with very strong hands I would call and see what happens on turn. Mostly check and hope villain checks behind, that is likely to indicate a single pair or JX. If he bets you will have to make a judgement call but I'm inclined to give up on such a dangerous board.
