A serious question - why raise pf? K9s is essentially a drawing hand and pays better with more active players when it hits and is A LOT easier to let go when it misses and there is action to you. I really don't see the value of isolating a EP limper with this hand.

vs a weak limper they will usually suck enough to make this iso profitable. OTB, there is no way this will be multiway and I am raising as well. Would you raise KTs OTB? I think most wouldd, and K9s is pretty much the same thing in a hand like this (with just 1 limper).

Thanks for the explanation. I need to stop insta-categorizing hands and view the 2 cards in context of the actual hand in play. After reading the other replies, I now see the reasoning & agree raising here is better. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
