No reads, do you fold the Flop? Turn?

Yeah this is fine, gf. Looks a lot loke a monster, I doubt you beat both opps and there's not a lot of dead money in the pot.

Wow, nice fold, tough hand.

Result = Trip queens (weaker kicker) v's flush? Or a set in there somewhere?

I might have raised 3/4 - pot on the flop, after button raised it to 120 to see where you were.

At this level with 2 AI in front of you I think it's a fold. That said.....you may be looking at someone slow playing KK or AA or even AQ. If they flopped the flush you still have outs to the full house.

But as they say.....if you NEVER fold the winning hand, you are calling too much.

BB had the made nut flush on the flop and the other guy had 55 for the full house.

does anyone else prefer a standard 3xBB raise PF? maybe its my ring game nature but i feel if u play KQs in EP you need to raise to eliminate some garbage hands and help you determine where u are at. As played, good fold.

At SNGs, due to the much shallower effective stacks even at Level 1 (75 BB stacks vs 100 BBs plus you can't reload), I always fold KQs in EP, it's just not worth it. In my earlier days I lost stacks and stacks and stacks of chips playing KQo/KQs in EP when the flop came K/Q high.

I would fold on the flop.
