SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K Q

Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, SB calls 2.5 BB, fold

Flop: (10 BB, 3 players) A J T
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN bets 7 BB, SB raises to 16 BB

do we reraise here? are we checking the turn again?

Hi. I'll be interested to see what others have to say. If it's me and I'm against an opponent that I have no information on in this instance I'd just call the re-raise, if the turn is a brick I would probably lead out again with a 1/2pot bet or so with no reason to think they won't come over the top again. You could check the turn and let them bet again, but you would maybe be missing a likely pot building opportunity imo. If both of you weren't so deep stacked it would be a different story.

pretty dryboard here. We can definetly look to re-raise.

at 2NL we have the benefits of raising more and getting called.

I recommend at least raising to 48cents minimum. If opponent has a set its very unlikely he will fold and even 2pairs will come along.

When SB raises here its very common to be a set of tens or jacks even or perhaps 2pair AT.

And just really play aggressive just so we have the options for stacks later in the hand.

re-raise

I would be tempted to re-raise the SB, would probably get rid of the button and leave just the two of you. right now the board is in your favour, but the turn could drop a pair which makes it tougher and then you are in on guard against boats. After turn, shove again, if no pair. imo

If SB is a fish, 3betting on the flop will let you get stacks in. If villain is a decent reg you probably won't get much value either way you play, since he will understand you are calling with a pretty good hand.
So try and get stacks in by 3betting to like 40bb on the flop and shove turn.

There is only one rule to follow in 2NL: Bet your good hands, fold bad ones.

The skill part and struggle comes from knowing what is good hand and what is bad one. Here you obviously have the best hand so following that rule should be easy.

Not CB is breaking the rule. Not raising is breaking the rule.

Hero calls 16 BB, BTN calls 9 BB

Turn: (58 BB, 3 players) 8
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

River: (58 BB, 3 players) 5
SB checks, Hero bets 27.5 BB, fold, SB calls 27.5 BB

Hero shows K Q (Straight, Ace High)
(Pre 66%, Flop 82%, Turn 91%)
SB mucks J T (Two Pair, Jacks and Tens)
(Pre 34%, Flop 18%, Turn 9%)
Hero wins 109 BB

I would just call hoping BT stays in hand or re raises. basicly it is risky but this is what i do. let the two other re raise each other and I just call.
