Default Re: Kurosh vs Trix (Preflop question)

How do I vote for "it depends"?

First, where is the limper seated? UTG v UTG+1 is a major difference with respect to both the limper's best possible hand and his worst possible hand.

Second, how does the limper play postflop? Is he going to show his Ax down as a matter of principle or does he need to hit the flop? BTW, if you don't know the answer to this last question then go directly to jail for raising K7o without a solid read to help you play postflop.

Third, both plays are counting on getting a lot of folds, but K7o is especially counting on nailing the button while Q8s cares most about BB. So some tables are going to favor one play over the other.

Of course the most -EV thing is probably me spending time thinking about this useless topic.
