    Default KQ? WTF...

    OK... I have a big problem lately...

    KQ became a looser for me! Well, it may have been a long term looser, I just realize it. I tend to win small pots... I loose the big ones with it.

    Little survey... 3 situations, what you do?

    1. UTG you have KQo
    Limp
    Raise
    Fold

    2.
    Late postion 4 limpers
    Call
    Raise
    Fold

    3. Facing a raise from middle position... no limpers
    Call
    Reraise
    Fold

    I must do something wrong, and it have to be pre-flop.

    KJ

    I'm a little different, however since this is one of those hands that gives me ulcers, I'll post my plays and then soak in the wisdom of others...

    1) limp...only call a raise if there are others (>3) along for the ride.

    2) limp

    3) call

    4) I'll raise from Button or UTG if folded to me.

    If your talking a long handed game then I agree with Diggler.

    Short handed (all boarder line cards in long handed are very playable now)

    limp

    call

    call

    but that also depends on the flavor of the table.

    Its unsuited Trons and learn, you need to fold this PF UTG, suitedness gives it enough equity to make this limpable UTG, in a very Loose passive game that is (6ish each flop for 1 bet)

    totally depends on the table.

    I would usually raise with KQ though, dont like calling raises with it.

    1 raise
    2 raise
    3 fold

    Marm, I understand it's KQoff and not suited. But in a "short handed game" (regardless what PT says) I'm limping in UTG and if it's suited I'm playing it aggressively and raising. You don't have to have the best hand to win a pot in the game of poker.

    I'd much rather raise off suit and limp suited.
    Do you see why

    Anyways are we playing LHE or NLHE?
    Limit its probly fold fold fold. Or maybe raising it up in some spots. I dunno.. I feel like most of the time I'm calling preflop in LHE I'm making a mistake.
