Default Re: Playing from the blinds: KJ

This is not a good flop to check-raise, it is draw heavy and might encourage a push from hands such as a str8/flushdraw combination. Also villain could potentially hold KQ and give you a little rope to hang yourself with. You are being pushed out of this pot by sets 100% of the time and by check-raising you are paying too much for information.

I'd prefer to lead for 90, fold to a raise. If called I'd really put on the brakes. You are beating KT, that is it. If called, I'd lead a turn brick for 2/3 the pot and muck to a raise. If a diamond hits you may just want to check/fold. If called on the turn I'd value check/call a less than half pot bet on a river brick and check/fold all other situations.
