    OK, this happened to me awhile back in a live casino game.

    I want to see how different players would play this hand post-flop.

    Its 5-5 NL game/$300 max buy in. They sit me to a new table they are opening up with 7-8 other players who are just buying in. Everyone at the table buys in for $200-$300.

    The action starts and probably my 3rd dealt hand I get KsQs in EP. I make it $25 to go.
    There is one caller after me and the flop is Kc-10c-7h (Pot=$60).
    I bet $40. He calls. (Pot=$140)
    I forgot the turn but it was another low card, not a club.
    I bet $70 and he raises me to $140.

    Here is where I got stuck and I feel like it was due to my post-flop skills being way too subpar. I know one of my leaks in playing after the flop is under-estimating or over-estimating the value of my hand and that influencies me into making the wrong decision. I ended up winning the hand, but not for the right reason.

    What would you do after the raise on the turn?

    the raise of kqs in early position is very marginal in my opinon. especialy in live games where alot of the smaller stakes game have tons of people calling raises.
    On the flop his call can mean a lot of things, i personally would have put hiim on a club draw of somesort. The min raise on the turn is very scary. A lot of people play their sets this way. He could have easily had top 2. My guess is he had k10, you pushed him all in on the turn and sucked out a queen on the river?

    I called his min-raise and checked the river to him.

    Suprisingly, he checked and I flipped my KQ and he mucked his hand. Never knew what he had but if he had bet, I would of been in a world of trouble and most likely folded the best hand.
