My thoughts are prolly irrelevant in LHE ( even though I love playing it from time to time ), but seems standard I suppose. We're probably not beating a great deal by the river though.

I might have raised on the flop there. Otherwise, it seem sensible to me.

KQ (offsuit) has absolutely no value vs a 3better. I'd just truck it preflop, it'll save you a lot of money. you really have to hope for a straight or a 2pair you (or a flush if suited) to win any kind of money off of it postflop. more often than not when you and the 3better are both putting a lot of money in there with simply a K, he has AK/AA, or with only a Q, he has AQ/KK/AA/some kind of lower set. and when you hit your pair and he folds, THATS when you're going to be winning your pots, and they're going to be small. win small, lose big, definitely not worth it. calling a 3bet with 54 suited is much more profitable (or less unprofitable maybe) for example, KQ's just HATES being 3bet. same with AJ and lower...
