Joenin 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Is there a general guideline here, because I feel that I either call it in bad positions, or dont raise when I should.I have an awful time with it too... Generally i'm strating to consider it a resteal hand or a fold. I assume you mean after a raise, else its a open raise or fold hand. But generally it depends on my opponents ranges of hands. If i feal hes raising with weak hands, even weaker aces i can knock him off, I'll 3 bet, If theres a raise and calls I either fold or call, depending how I feal i'm likelly to fair in that situation. IMO KQo is probably the hardest hand to play after a raise, so even if i'm a little behind, if I decide to play it, i feal its important to raise and take the lead in the hand.

dimseven 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Raise if there hasn't been one, and fold it when there has been a raise from a tight opponent. That's a good *general* guideline. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zach6668 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I will basically raise all day long with KQo.Of course, it's an EEEEEEEASY fold if there's a raise in front of me, save for a steal raise from CO, or Button, it's a decent resteal hand.Also, I will usually call from the BB with KQ if there's only been on raise.- Zach Link to post Share on other sites

Garn 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Also, I will usually call from the BB with KQ if there's only been on raise.Why?why not? KQ is a decent hand especially if you already have some money invested into it. If I am on the BB i am always gonna see a flop with only one bet to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zach6668 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Also, I will usually call from the BB with KQ if there's only been on raise.Why?Even if everyone else folds, I'm getting 3.5-1 on the call... those odds aren't good enough? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Zach6668 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I think I can handle postflop play well enough to make it profitable.- Zach Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else notice that? Anyway, I will almost always call one from the BB with KQo in a multiway pot. In a HU pot, I'm a lot more careful about it.Jeff Link to post Share on other sites
Shizzmoney 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Anyway, I will almost always call one from the BB with KQo in a multiway pot.Same here - and I'm not usually looking to flop a pair; I usually want to flop an open ended draw, two pair (with no other connecting straight card, like KQ2), or the nut straight and look to check-raise with it.I think the main mistake people make with KQ in a raised pot is when they hit their pair they think it's golden. Unless your playing against a maniac*, that's usually not the case.*And against these types of players, I'm definitely jamming preflop with it. Link to post Share on other sites
