Kxs on button, after a limper

[Wynton]

Quick simple question here.

I have Kxs on button (K6-K2). One loose/passive guy limps ahead of me. Sb is very loose/passive, and will defend blinds with anything. BB appears relatively solid, not overly anything.

Is this a raise preflop?

[ISF]

My cutoff would be K8S here.

[TStoneMBD]

ill raise K5s most of the time here. raising lower than that is pushing it imo, unless you know that the SB/EP are horrible postflop.

[RunDownHouse]

Wow, I wouldn't go any lower than KTs. There's a pretty decent chance you're going to be in a 4-handed pot with K-nothing, with a very tiny chance of getting heads-up. I don't think position gives you enough here.

Rory?

If you don't raise lower than K5s, does this mean you're folding or limping?

[Silverback]

I would raise K7s 1 limper, fold any lower

2 limpers Id call K6s-K4s, not sure which id raise unless in game, probably Kts, call rest

Folding K9s here seems absurdly tight.

excuse me for being a pre-flop nazi but isnt the size of your crappy kicker only a bees dick in the total equation ?

if i know i likely have some equity on the limper with a crappy suited king and i figure i am good odds to win before a showdown then i like raise - i usually auto fold hands that contain a 2 or a 3 but everything else would be where i am not what i've got

if i have K9s then i'm raising because i have the best hand

Actually, I'd raise KTo but I'm pretty sure I've been folding K9s. My VPIP is about 23, if I remember correctly.

You just aren't correctly valuing K9s.
