This hand takes place in a 1/3 game in St. Louis.

Effective Stacks $220

Preflop: Hero raises in EP to 16 with KK, 3 folds, MP call, SB call

Flop: QT6

SB Bets 50...Hero?


SB is typical live player, not really paying too much attention, tends to call too much, from what I have seen a bit on the passive side but I have seen him lead with pair + draw type hands and he doesn't seem to win much at showdown.

MP is short stack with $24 left

Call: pot would be $150ish and I would have about a PSB left, if it bricks I can still feel like I am in decent shape and decide where to go from here given his action.

Raise: I think he calls a shove here with a lot of pair +FD hands and possibly a naked FD, or two pair. If he flopped two pair I am still in decent shape because of my FD and could make a better two pair. If I am up against a set I am behind but still have some equity here.

I was 50/50 at the time on the decision. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I'd probably just stick it in now, but you can't really screw this hand up unless you fold somewhere.

Folding the flop wasn't really an option, it is just a matter of call or raise and which is more +EV here

I would probably get it in here on the flop.

hands I would imagine here are:
-Ah-Q (most likely in my opinion)
-possibly a scared 6-6 or 10-10.

imo your either ahead, or you win with a heart or a paired board.

I think not having the nut draw would make me more likely to just get it in here on the flop.

I think your way ahead of his range and would just shove the flop

easy shove, he has AQ, KQ or the naked Ah a ton.
