KJ early position...

[eragotte]

Just a quick topic. Curious what you guys do with KJ early position at a 10 person table? Can't raise it really because such a good chance of KQ/AJ smooth calling and you have no clue where you are on the flop. Do you just limp? fold? This hand has always bothered me.

I fold AQo sometimes UTG. Hope that helps

[floptquadswunc]

I'd say I'm tighter than most, but normally I fold it...

[eragotte]

that does help. I always want to fold it but feel like a knob doing so. thanks, im prolly way to loose early pos

I think you fold this hand almost always from early position. K-J is one of those danger hands that can get you in a lot of trouble. If you raise it and get re-raised, then you're probably dominated (such as by A-K, K-K, or even A-A). Maybe every once in a while you can limp or raise this just to change it up but it's probably going to be a -ev play overall.

open it sooted in MP1+

Would only open it 1/2 the time at 1/2nl in the same position

i usually fold it... this hand confuses me, so i don't bother with it.

EASY fold in EP 10max.
I would start opening it between MP2 and CO depending on the players.

Fold it dude. You're gonna get into way too many awkward spots with that hand to make it profitable opening it in EP.

i open kjs

you can play it if you really want to but don't be relying on the top pair value in a big pot. Lot easier to just fold imo.

[oskar]

i open kjs

From every position? 10max?

Only time I'll ever open this is AM-early afternoon when my table is a bunch of 5-10/3-6 nits. Otherwise it's just -EV.

Ive been dumping it and QJ early position all weekend. decided I prefer it. would rather save those chips for a late pos 64s raise thanks for the advice peeps
