What the f is going on with me lately. I just lost AA to KK on the river and QQ to 1010 on the river, back to back hands, two outers, same table.

Ha! and I just sucked someone out on the river with two pair....I love poker.

Anyways, I am still in a little of a funk and I'm questioning my play, so I have some questions for you guys. These are all assuming unknown opponents and nothing really wacky at the table

1. You are holding KQo in the SB and there is one limper
2. You have KQ UTG
3. AJs on button and there is an open limp, a raise, and a cold call
4. Same situation with A9s

I go:
1. Raise
2. Raise
3. Raise
4. Call

1. raise everytime
2. suited raise, offsuit call
3. more likely to call than raise
4. folding this without reads

Holla

Besides hand 3, and my inner debate whether to cold call or raise is what sparked the idea for this thread. I used to raise, but I'm leaning more towards cold calling...though I do feel like a flamming womens birth canal if I do

1. Agree.
2. I raise both KQo and KQs in the games that I play (Party $2/4, Foxwoods $4/8). Why let people in cheaply when we have the hand that plays worse multiway (KQo)?
3. I call here, raise AQs.
4. This is almost good enough to call; easy if the raiser is even a little bit looser than average. I don't think it matters much whether you call or fold here.
