How do you play the High Open ender?(with 2 overs)
I was playing a Multi Table SNG, and about half the players were out at the time of this hand.
Blinds 75-150, Average 2500. Opponent has just over 2k, Ive got 5.5k
Folds to Button, who raises to 450. SB folds, I call with KdQd.
Flop comes J 10 3 Rainbow, 1 diamond.
I check, he bets out 600, with a little over 1200 back. I push and he calls.
He flips up QJ, I dont hit my outs.
I was just looking for a bit of analysis. I decided to check in hopes of hitting one of my outs, or check raise to either get him off the pot, or race to the river(hoping he doesnt hit a set or have 3 of my outs)
What do you think of the flat call, the check raise. How would you play the hand? (I have no read on this guy, been 3 hands at the new table)

EDIT: The UTG limp is weak I know, I had just been dealt a medium pair an KJsuited, and felt like limping :S

Blinds 150/300? Don't see how he raised to 450 preflop.
Pushing players with no fold equity left, on a draw, is a BAAAD idea. He has fold equity preflop (I think - not sure what he really raised to). Preflop I push or fold, probably push. If I am flat calling OOP then I must check/fold if I miss because as I said he has no fold equity left.

You are putting 1800 into a 1200ish? pot when you trail in pot equity.
Ah. Fans of the SWOT strategy are we?
I hate the flat call.
700 in the pot and he's got 1550 back???
Calling creates a pot of 1000 with him having 1550 back..
Fold or push.
I'd push preflop unless I felt he was trapping.
Lets see, he raises $5 into a $8 pot.
Why semi-bluff into so many people? Especially a utg raiser.
Raising also screws up your implied odds, the villain only has < $35 ... You want a small pot at this point.
Call to preserve your draw, You want overcalls to your call right? That helps to get you the odds you need ...
SWOT? Definately not SWAT, but not sure what the O is.
Your King high is ahead of his range? Could you please explain his range here? Oh wait, moose already did and you're behind everything. gg moose

2nd are you arguing a pf shove there? I don't think you mentioned how you would play that hand preflop.
The cash game hand, perhaps it wasn't standard, I don't mind the call there either. Just my style of play to play combo draws big right off the top.
So I felt no need to comment on the pre-flop action.
/g2
hand 1 is standard because:

Also saying you have no fold equity isn't true... you have very little fold equity because your opponent will fold a small percentage of the time based on the simple fact that lots of people suck at poker.
Hand 2 is standard because the hero has crushed the flop... the short stack in the big blind could be leading out with a ton of hands and Ah7h has very good equity against his range (definitely a favourite against his range)... even if you know you are up against the flopped nuts you almost have enough equity to get it in on this flop.
Yet you commented on my pre-flop action?
OK, I re-read the entire thread. I now believe your post... is talking pre-flop.
I had assumed it was in response to the question asked by the OP. "How do you play the High Open ender?(with 2 overs)", which is clearly a flop question.
/g2
1. "There is no realistic hand he could have at this point that does not leave you behind." A high, J9, 44-99, AJ, AT, A3, T9 are all hands where he has 14 outs and is thus slightly ahead.
2. equity
Hand 0: 48.235% { KdQd }
Hand 1: 51.765% {range}
"You are putting 1800 into a 1200ish? pot when you trail in pot equity." Without quibbling about the actual numbers, he would put 1800 into the 1200 pot but so would villain. So he is spending 1800 to win 3000 which requires 37.5% equity. The range you gave villain gives him much more equity than this. It wouldn't be enough equity if he only had his straight outs but add in the overcards and the equity climbs above 37.5% for the range.
Personally, I would have bet into the pot on the flop since a check/check on the flop and blank on the turn would cut the equity in half. And hitting the turn might cause villain to shut down.
I play to get it all in on this flop which means betting out either a good bet or shoving, whatever is less scary to villain.
