How do you know if your opponent has KQ? Need a lot more information to make any recommendation here, but I think you should come out firing and see what happens.
Say I am in with AJ and the flop is xxJ. How much should I bet if I have one opponent who holds at best KQ? I want to ignore possible sets. My winning odds are 75:25 before the turn. Then if the turn is another blank my odds improve to 86:14. Now how much do I bet?
The answer to this, as with many things in poker, is it depends. Need a lot more info to go on such as tournament structure, blinds/antes, stack sizes, position, pre-flop action, etc
You should have had nothing left to bet after the flop, otherwise you were not playing to win.
My question is how much should I bet before the turn and before the river to make it not worth his while to continue. What prompted this thread was a hand where my opponent did have KQ, I raised pot after flop and pot after turn, he called both and got a queen on the river. It was a freeroll, so he might have stuck with his hand no matter what to suck out on the river.
