How Badly Did I Play Kq Here

I managed to make the money in 2 of my last 15 or so. It can't be entirely due to bad variance. At any rate this specific hand ...Fold this pf right? Problem is when I play tight PF I end up blinding myself down to push/fold territory by level 4. 225 is my standard bet at 30/60 with one limper. Too much? Too little? Irrelevant since I should fold?On the flop I cb about 60% of the pot. I tend to value bet 80-90% of the pot. I seriously doubt anyone will see enough hands against me to pick up on that. I vary it more when I get short handed.On the turn I figure I can give up or push. I have like 775 left if I give up which isn't horribly short stacked but will be in a minute or two.I think I mostly lose chips in two spots in these things:- trying to steal with a mediocre hand and refusing to back down in the face of resistance- getting all-in as a favorite Seriously if I would win even half the hands where I have AK vs Arag I'd TP/MM.

Yuck!If you want to complete there, I don't have a massive problem. However, this is not a raising hand at this stage of the game. Your M is well over 10 and you have no "first in" vigorish. You don't need to go to war here.Okay, assuming the raise, the guy called PF. He's got something. Now a continuation bet, might not be horrible, but any reasonable bet pot commits you. If you're going to C-Bet, you might as well push. If you want to go all-in on a bluff, that's on you.Personally, I don't hate the Tight-Early, push a lot late strategy. I play Turbos because I feel that my edge is in the short-handed, low M, "bubble" phase. That's a matter of personal opinion, and I'm sure others will disagree with me.

i agree
Ditto. It is very strange but for some reason the players are worse at the 20's and 30's. I struggled for a while with 10's but the 6 handed 13's are extremly easy if you don't want to bump up.

I think folding or calling are both fine pf. I don't like raising because (as already mentioned by others) you've got no first in vig and the likely result is you're going to end up out of position with a caller and no idea of where you are in the hand. And it could cost you a lot to find out.I'd work on improving your push/fold play too so that you are pushing in the right places.I also think that if you're going to raise (and I wouldn't) then you need to raise more here, perhaps to 300.

So limp PF, C/F this flop and live on with an M around 12. Probably better.My problem comes from the fact that villain did not have a hand. I think every decision he made was a poor one. Yet he wins the pot with A high. After calling off over a third of his stack with no pair no draw. Oh well. Never try to understand the donks, eh?

I'm sure that he thought calling you with the best hand was a good decision, not a poor one. Still, I know what you mean.Yes, I think you live on with an M of 12 and wait for a hand where no-one's shown any interest.
