KQ question?

[payupsucka]

loose aggro. 15/30 9 handed. KQ UTG. Three bets are quite common to see the flop. Open limp,open raise or fold?

[tolbiny]

open fold-
otherwise open raise.

Fold. KQ doesn't play well in a raised pot, let alone a 3-bet pot.

[Chris Daddy Cool]

there's a difference between KQo and KQs, which do you mean?

if players are totally getting out of line with their 3-bets, i.e. 3-betting with KJ, KT, QJ, type hands, then you shouldn't have a problem with playing this type of hand if you're going to dominate them.

it's been said numerous times that the difference between limping and raising KQ is so small, its not really worth mentioning, though as a default, i raise with it.

I'd fold. /v
