No much to say on villains as I know as little as you with reduced (or even not) infos + stats as I played this hand out my table so no HM and other tools that usually Im using to gain as much help to frame oppos

My query here is:

- Can pass my call preflop or it is mandatory a raise to join the pot (specially OOP)?
P.S. I notice that Im incline to call more often with suited broadway while Im raising or even fold OOP with off-suited and Im not really sure where I got that! Will be interesting a second opinion, thank you!

- About the flop, with a draw, should I c/r or even donk in the pot? My thought is to try a bit of passivity to maintain in the hand much stuff of his range that I beat

- Then on the turn, to do not play cards-face-up, would be better a c/c (at that point I didn't know how fish was my opponent)?

The hand [Played on Pokerstars.com]

BTN: t480 M = 0.74
Hero (SB): t8210 M = 12.73
BB: t20 M = 0.03
UTG: t3760 M = 5.83
UTG+1: t255 M = 0.40
UTG+2: t6184 M = 9.59
MP1: t4895 M = 7.59
MP2: t12295 M = 19.06
CO: t90 M = 0.14

Pre Flop: (t385) Hero is SB with K :diamond: Q :diamond:
4 folds, MP2 raises to t500, 1 fold, BTN calls t450 all in, Hero calls t375, 1 fold

Flop: (t1710) 2 :club: A :spade: T :spade: (3 players - 1 is all in)
Hero checks, MP2 bets t750, Hero calls t750

Turn: (t3210) J :diamond: (3 players - 1 is all in)
Hero checks, MP2 bets t1000, Hero raises to t6930 all in, MP2 calls t5930

River: (t17070) T :diamond: (3 players - 2 are all in)

Final Pot: t17070

Thanks :)

Spoiler

Hey kiroman!

You can call for the good odds, you can 3b/c pre with 25bbs. You can also jam. I would probably jam. There is already 1,5k in the middle which is really nice + you have tons of fe. On the other hand its probably a little overplayed!

Which of the 3 options is the best one depends on their ranges -> openraising, and the callingranges to your shove or 3bet. I think default a shove can be very good, but a 3bet too. Sb defends with that odds are of course also +ev!

as played nh!

Greets,
