KT in MP1, what is appropriate?

[AdamL]

I'm on a tight table with a LAG to my right and a LP-P to my left. The rest of the players are only in there raising with really good hands.

LAG limps. 2 folds. I'm in MP1 with KT. Do I limp, raise or fold?

[soweak.]

limp in MP. around the CO/Button you should raise to try to play a HU pot in position.

Fold with KTo, raise KTs. I usually like to be the first player to put a raise in if I get the chance, and this might clean up a few weak aces and protect your hand.

Fold KTo, its 2nd best hand maker.

Playing KT is like riding a moped (or going on an all-taco diet, for that matter)... it's lots of fun until your friends find out.

Just kidding. With slightly better position this might be a raise, but you are actually in a very bad position to try to put a power play on here given the LPP behind you. The hand might become very hard to play given you seat position. I think a fold is prudent.

MP1 suggests one fold in front of you if the LAG is UTG.

Regardless, I'm not folding.

KTo is not a hand playable from MP1, especially against a limper.

The limper is a LAG. There are tight players and a single loose-passive behind you. You might be MP1, but it seems more likely that you are MP2 (I would guess it's more likely the OP got his labeled position wrong but the action right) since there's a limp and "2 folds" to you. The tight players are folding most times, the LP will give you free cards routinely.

I would raise this if I thought my image was good.

I'm not either. sfer, are you limping along or raising here? I've been experimenting with raising more and more (depending on the lineup).

Isn't the limper UTG and the two folds UTG+1/UTG+2?
