Getting punished for playing kqs

Thanks guys for the input on my situation where i had pocket 88 utg, you guys really helped me, so heres another question i have,



Ok, so its like 3 am, and i raise 2.5 bb on the cutoff with kqs
get called on the button, then get 3bet to 10 bb in the big blind
I think using the strategy that i have been using if i hadnt been playing for like 4 hours i would have just mucked an easily dominated hand like this but i had position and it was SOOTED!
but anyways, flop k 8 3 rainbow, and i was kind of sad to see a king, because now i wasn't folding. Btw, this was a 2c 4c where the average pot size was like 50 bb (2.00), which is outrageous compared to the norm at like 15 bb.
So because this was such a fast paced game i wasn't folding.

Well postflop action goes like this,

BB fires 22.5 big blinds

and then action to me
I feel like theres no way i can fold
so i call
button folds
turn 3
now another rag came off and BB fires 55 big blinds,
this is a weird bet that i thought had some bluff potential, because he only had like 15 big blinds behind him after he made this bet,

but again, im just not going to get away from this one,

i go all in
he calls
he shows ak
i turn kq and get pwned

i feel like my real chance to get away from this hand was preflop, but i figured my hand was good enough to call,

i think after the flop i was going to lose it all,

because i dont think i could fold it on the flop

and probably not on the turn do to pot odds and the lousy board,
so it gets SHIPPED!

What do you guys think i should have done?

I think being tired made you stubborn, but you had knowledge of these players for a while so not necessarily. The reraise in a ring game stinks of AK or pocket pair large, so I think if I was playing well, I coulda got away on the flop, being afraid of the AK...KK...or AA hands....after the call...yeah , you were stuck. Really would depend on if the guy had been solid or donking prior to this hand, but I've done a lot worse when tired...just refusing to believe!!!

I think you were PokerOwned!!

ya ya no matter what you play with and get beat ur gonna bitch wah wah wah get used to its poker

lol i hear ya ....we all bitch no matter what. 3am? musta been tired????

KQs is still a gh. Just now it can be dominated. KQs is definitely a flop peeler, and a opener.

i like KQ especially suited and you can treat a king like an ace sometimes

every hands a winner every hands a loser

I know ur wanting ur 5 points but seriously hes looking for help. Why make a post like this? Constructive criticism is always good but to come off like this really serves no purpose other then ur own ego..

Im a tight player so take it for what its worth. The raise pre is ok but after he refires i dunno but if u wanna see a flop make the call but you still Have to be willing to fold and i think u had no intentions of folding no matter how OP played this..More info on Op would be good but i would also say u got very stubborn with this hand and had made up ur mind u wasnt folding regardless.. but ya live and learn and who knows next time he could be bluffing

In a previous post you said you were 15, so my first question is why are you playing poker at 3 am on a school night?

Quit playing then you think your getting punished to bad you donks get it all the time aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it really depends on that player that reraised you preflop. You were there for awhile and knew his style. If he was tight, you should probably just fold preflop. if he was a donk that raises like crazy, then your play really wasnt bad

lol, hilarious!!! Heck I am 34 and in bed by 3 am ;)

im not 15 guys but anyways thanks for the advice:)

You had played for too long and got stubborn. Should have folded pre-flop.

KQs isnt that strong of a hand, dont over play it u will get in trouble....

i think its bbno,, that is very young too tho.. maybe u got them mixed up:))..KQ suited is not a bad hand, u just have to be willing to fold it ometimes tho too..

I love you add that it's 3 am when it's not really relevant to the hand you played.

when making excuses everything is relevant you PUTZ ;)

kq to me is all about the situation, the player, my stack. it's not a great hand, but it's a coinflip against any pair JJ and lower!

You should have folded preflop and if you was really good you would have folded on the flop to!

yes well i got punished for playing aces... aa vs guy who pushes all in with kk.... hits a fliping 2 outer.....
