    Default I want to play the fish, get confused.

    Grabbed by Holdem Manager
    NL Holdem $20(BB) Poker Stars
    SB ($1,080)
    BB ($1,360)
    UTG ($1,290)
    UTG+1 ($1,370)
    Hero ($1,470)
    MP1 ($2,240)
    MP2 ($1,470)
    CO ($1,390)
    BTN ($1,830)

    Dealt to Hero Q K

    UTG calls $20, UTG+1 calls $20, Hero calls $20, fold, MP2 calls $20, CO calls $20, fold, SB calls $10, BB checks

    FLOP ($140) K J 4

    SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $200, UTG+1 calls $200, Hero feels like a retardnit.

    utg+1 is an opti fish. I mean 90/15 and decides to stack off depending on the day of the week. 8 hands on utg but was 80/40 or something, suppose a quick sharkscope would have helped.

    If raise pre i feel like I end up oop vs like 2 or 3 callers but i want to play hand vs mega fish. Then I want to fold on the flop and feel like a dumbass. If i call I basically have to play for stacks unless action gets scary behind.

    Seems like you're probably ahead unless somebody hit 2 pair or a set of 4's (unless you have a read that these people are limping AK, AA, KK, JJ). These hands would beat you if you had AK though too. I'd probably sigh and stack off if required, but could be nitty is better. If these people are that fishy they may be getting excited about hitting with K3. Hey at least you have a heart right?

    Does anyone raise here either pre or on the flop to try to thin the field?

    Personally I wouldn't bother with KQo from MP1, I'd just ditch it. There will be better opportunities to take these fishes' cash than from early position with a marginal hand.

    As played, I think I just shove it and be done with it to price out the flush draws. I agree that you pretty much have to play for stacks if you're not going to fold, but with all that limping the only hand I'd really be worried about would be KJ or a slowplayed big pair (which is far less likely anyway). Against these two tards I'd expect to be called with far worse hands.

    Does anyone like a raise pre-flop to try to isolate the limp-tards? We'd have position on them assuming no one wakes up with a hand behind us. We don't have a great hand but maybe having position on big fish makes up for it.

    Limping OOP into multiway pots with KQo is not going to put you in many good spots. I wouldn't iso-raise from this position, but it would probably make the hand easier to play. Maybe in a later position where it's more likely we will have position post-flop.

    ^^^re folding pre

    Yea that's my standard. I guess I just wanted to play a pot with a fish before he was gone. If i had some foresight the 3 limpers in early position are obviously going to start a nice limping party and maybe get isolated by better hands so KQ isn't really going to be awesome postflop since a one pair hand is decent at best in a huge family pot like this. when utg overbets pot into 5 or 6 players I was just shaking my head because it's so strong and this is exactly the kind of flop where fish will stack off with any King + possibly worse.

    Yea I think if in this hand fish open limps mp/lp and we iso that will be very profitable and I suppose we should just wait for that.

    For some wtf,
    utg bets 200, utg+1 calls 200, fold,fold....
    turn is some brick, utg bets 200, utg+1 folds

    The fish didnt even have a pair when he calls flop since he doesnt fold a one pair + hand ever
