I would raise here PF, but I don't want to play for stacks with a 50xbb for tpgk. However, I end up doing that anyways. Is my turn bet to induce a bluff or was it for value? I don't really know what I'm doing.

Should I repop pre and then pot flop/pot turn? Should I do what I did and just call pf and try to value bet a little to showdown? Turn is instacall right?

JTspades is the only reasonable hand you beat. I don't think KQs is a great hand to 3-bet PF unless MP is very loose raiser.

CO could easily have AK/55/TT/KT even AA here! It's a very draw board for happy slowplyers.

Yeah check behind on that turn and autocall a riverbet. Calling that checkraise is probably suicide. He's praying you have a K, he knows he doesnt have much FE, so he really wants a call.

Zenbitz,

I think your range here is waaaay too narrow.

Euphoricism and Zenbitz,

Short stacks on Stars are often quite antsy to get their stacks in the middle.

You're talking to the guy who regularly buys in for half, exploiting the hell out of people who will call me all in with top pair. If he's a moron, youre probably ahead. If he's decent, youre beat beat beat.

You're missing out on a fortune!

If flop top pair with KQo 50 deep, I need a really good reason not to want to put all of my money into the pot.

We should pray some poka. If you're 50 deep, I'm almost always felting top pair and feeling g00t about it.

I think what I realized here is that I do want to get it all in, which makes me think that I didn't pot the turn to induce the inevitable all-in c/r. I think I may have been thinking ahead of my fingers.

I think I can explain my actions, and I like my play here.

You're talking to the guy who regularly buys in for half, making bad calls preflop hoping to outflop someone else's top pair.
FYP

The pots you win won't be big enough to justify all those speculative calls, if this is really how you play.
