Appreciate some thoughts on this one guys:

PokerStars Game #18687771431: Hold'em No Limit ($0.05/$0.10) - 2008/07/09 - 01:08:53 (ET)
Table 'Felicia V' 6-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 1: euler217 ($34.70 in chips)
Seat 2: insolitude ($8.35 in chips)
Seat 3: Jae14 ($17.15 in chips)
Seat 4: mireyco ($11.25 in chips)
Seat 5: MTFConst ($7.85 in chips)
Seat 6: JeanC89 ($12.15 in chips)
mireyco: posts small blind $0.05
MTFConst: posts big blind $0.10
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to insolitude [Qh Kd]
JeanC89: raises $0.30 to $0.40
euler217: folds
insolitude: raises $0.60 to $1
Jae14: calls $1
mireyco: folds
MTFConst: folds
JeanC89: calls $0.60

At this point I am thinking villain probably has AA/KK/AK(?)/AQ/KQ/QJ...

I wouldn't 3bet a utg raiser with KQ, in fact I would probably just fold to the raise preflop, even if you just call here, you may be dominated or open yourself up for a squeeze, your position isn't that great either. It's a somewhat decent hand to open with here in an unraised pot, but to a early position raise it can be trouble. As played I think I would get my money in on the flop, I'm never folding trips in a 3bet pot, if they have AQ or 66 then so be it.

Preflop 3bet is very loose. I'd probably just fold this.

As played we are obviously stacking on this flop. The only question is whether to smooth call or raise here. I would tend to smooth call, but that's greedy.

PS. you don't have a set, you have trips.

Definately agree w/ the fold preflop here, but you've outflopped the hell out of him here... definately putting him on AA, or KK most of the time here, i seriously doubt AQ donks into you on this flop. So i'd smooth call, and try to get in in on the turn.

If you are going to 3 bet you really have to have a strong read on the UTG raiser and If you do decide to 3 bet make it 1.2 minimum i would make it 1.4 because your 3 bet is way small. Villain is calling you with his entire raising range for .60 more. Even small pp are still getting almost 3:1 expressed odds and ton of implied odds. As played you have to stack.

Obviously wrote P S for Post Scriptum, not PokerStars. I hate it when computers second guess what I really mean.

Heh, I wondered what that was all about. I actually figured out the set vs. trips thing awhile ago, not sure why I got it wrong here...

I'll post the rest of the hand in a bit.
