(30+3) KJs flops two pair - yeah real postflop action...
 

So I'm opening up my early game by limping speculative hands in late position. Yes, actually trying to improve my game and trying to pick up chips early instead of just pushbotting later [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

PF KJs limp okay?

Flop play sucks? I expect to see a open-ended straight draws, top pair, bottom two, flush draws etc a lot (i.e. lots of hands that I'm beating). AQ might also raise PF so essentially the one hand I'm afraid of is Q9.

Thoughts?

Edit: I'm also scared of that guy that's to act behind me.

PF limp okay? or should I wait for a couple more limpers and a little later position (CO or button, instead of CO-1)

i think the limp is okay but probably fine. the flop play is perfect in my opinion. maybe raise to 225 or 250. i cant see myself folding this at a 50. i like the raise

eh its a 30 but whatever

All I have to offer is anecdotal evidence. Any time I flop two pair in the early rounds like this and get big action, it seems like I'm always up against a set or straight/flush, and it always pisses me off.

Against that action, you might sometimes see JT, but generally, you have four outs, some of them in somebody else's hand.

The above only applies to SNG's where you can put them on hands after they make an action, though.

PF the limp is marginal, but it's OK.

The flop is nice, but full of dangers. You forgot to try and play your opponents' hands: do you really think that bet/re-raises in that spot has hands that you have beat often enough to make this call profitable?
