Re: KJs HU OOP on turn and river
Check and fold. On a more interesting flop (like A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) you could check and call the river. Hand looks good up to this point though.

[ QUOTE ] With at most three players in the pot, how often do you expect to get to the showdown? [/ QUOTE ] More often than I'd like. And being out of position gives me less control over this. [/ QUOTE ] That's not very helpful. You don't express how often you would like to get to the showdown, so you didn't even answer the question.

[/ QUOTE ] A better way to express my reason for not raising is that I don't like to build big pots out of position when I very likely do not have the best hand and I will very often be forced to conceed the hand without that much resistance from my opponent even if I am best.

[/ QUOTE ] Again, you're making a very weak point. "Big pot" in this case is 6 SB (when BB comes along, and only 5 SB if he folds), which is not very big (consider that only two more limpers makes this pot 5 SB if you complete your blind). Your claim that you "very likely do not have the best hand" is dubious (you're losing to A-high, a pocket pair, and KQ... and all you have at your very first action is a limper UTG+1). Your description of postflop play is vague and represents a fit-or-fold postflop mentality.

Results
I check-folded, and villain flashed his cards before mucking (at Paradise, you have the option. I don't know if other sites do that).

[img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Perhaps, but anyone who limps UTG+1 with that is okay by me. I had my money on him holding a weak ace, QJ, QT, or a medium pocket pair. And I lost.
