I agree with this.

I'd like to add that I wouldn't raise KQ offsuit UTG very often unless the table conditions were perfect.

KQ is a nice hand when you can see what your opponents do first. But hands like this, and KJo and QJo become very marginal when you're first to act.

anybody else limp in UTG with KQo instead of this raise?

I could play this a few different ways, but I think I always bet this flop so we can use MP3's expected raise to protect our hand against the BB.

From there, c/c seems good. Or c/c b to stop AK and TT/JJ from checking behind on the river.

standard WA/WB (c/c c/c b, if you're not in the know)

you're wrong.

the debates have been had, and everyone agrees: "it doesn't matter much" (although more raise it than limp it) but NO ONE argues "KJo and KQo are very marginal" PARTICULARLY "first to act" (although i assume you really meant: "from early position")

Yeah im in the know.


Flop:
i bet, he raises, BB folds, I call

Turn:
A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
i check, he bets.... worth calling down to the river? cause i dont see much im W/A of here to follow through with the WAWB line. JJ, TT is about it. and im not sure he would 3 bet me with TT honestly.

If the A isn't a diamond I probably let it go here...with the draw you picked up, though, I'm not going anywhere (I may even bet out again).
