KQ, how to play this?

edited October 2012 in The Poker Clinic
£3.30 deep stack, 4th hand of the tourney. Never played oppo before.

I think i was ok to call the 3 bet pre was i ?  Was the flat on the flop correct? and what do i do when he pots the turn?

Do we need to go to war this early on?

    It's a small 3-bet. But you have to ask would he play QQ or Kx like this? I think it should be AA, KK or AK. Also, if you call the bet on the turn you are very likely to be facing a shove on the river. I think, this early on in a deep-stack you shouldn't be playing for your full stack with just top pair. Fold on the turn is fine.

    The flat pre is fine by the way.

    I think you've played it fine. There are a number of players especially at this lower level who you would be a mile ahead of in this situation. I dont know this player so I cant comment on that, this could easily be KJ, K10, JJ, QQ, 1010 I've seen it many a time on here but I think the fold is correct. No point risking all your stack off with KQ here with no reads or info on the player.

    Thanks all, i ended up folding which most of you agree with, it turns out the oppo was a maniac!!!!

    If this had been later in the tourney after we had all seen how he plays, i snap this off!!!

    It was a difficult lay down but having no reads this early, felt it was ok at the time, ty again.

    It may have been a stupid call, but i really couldn`t understand why oppo would shove 25 ish bb`s otb!!

    It`s prob bad play by me in the long run, oh well!! 

    @percy. Oppo made this move about 5 hands previously, everyone folded. I should have mentioned this when i posted this particular hand!!!!
