Re: Raise or Call?
raise and built a pot
you're worried about knocking out people but there are to many gutshots out there to worry about it to much. Besides knocking out a player with a queen or ace isn't bad |

Why no preflop raise? [/ QUOTE ] KJs is a pretty good hand to open limp EP. I wouldn't feel too comfortable opening with it, unless my table was pretty tight, and I had an equally tight image. loose tables this is a requirement to open limp with. encourage a lot of action behind you, your hand plays well multi-way. |

[/ QUOTE ] For the same reason, I imagine you always open limp AKs, which is fine, though I think it better to mix it up a bit, if only to see which style fits you best under which circumstances. |
