    Default I love this hand

    I don't have much history with this opponent. Basically he's a looser TAGG who's been 3betting me really light in position (from a past session and this session). I've been mostly folding, i might have 4-bet him once. His postflop game seems straightforward so far.

    I think KQ is a pretty sweet hand to float with here oop on the flop, since he's probably double barrel bluffing Q's and K's on the turn, and i can basically bluff most rivers when he checks behind the turn (although i'll get position owned sometimes) because he obviously expects me to have a made hand here given that i haven't done anything to make him think otherwise/

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (5 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($1240.95)
    UTG ($600)
    Hero ($963.45)
    Button ($600)
    SB ($90)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K, Q.
    Hero raises to $21, Button raises to $72, 2 folds, Hero calls $51.

    Flop: ($153) 7, 9, 3 (3 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $117, Hero calls $117.

    Turn: ($387) 5 (3 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    River: ($387) 3 (3 players)
    Hero bets $266

    Can you explain? I rarely oop float, especially with overs, but KQ seems like a good hand to do this with and i've had success using it like this (not neccesarily 3-bet pots either).

    So you blew your opponent off AK/AQ here?
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Floating oop with K high in 3bet pot = lol, especially if we think a K or Q to be gin. We'll just get valuowned too often. A good handreader (not necessarily this opp) will also own us since on the river we're not really repping many legitimate hands.

    Vs a light 3bettor we are better off 4betting or planning to crai some flops than trying to play 3 streets oop I imagine.

    I'm reminded of that 2p2 thread in HSNL where everybody was offering a challenging player who felt position was overrated 2:1 if he gave them the btn every hand.
