I really hate KTo. Can somebody convince me to play this?

Sure, if you enjoy the aggravation of burning up chips when you hit against the passive limper who doesn't raise with A 10, KJ and KQ. Miniscule ev at best- not worth getting into trouble over IMO.

How about when we hit vs dominated hands like JT/QT/K9s, which are more likely to have been limped in than AT and KQ.

Here's a question: Take the same instance of the KT examples but make it KTs.

Is this a raise in both situations?

I apologize that the original post was a little bit vague, as I had intended to include necessary preflop information. The intention was supposed to be that the loose-bad player was limping in EP while the loose/decent player was in MP. The loose/decent player would have a greater range of limping hands, but will generally play them well postflop.

This is probably right on the cutoff as well. I'd probably raise it with 3 limpers with KTs, limp with only 2.

Point taken. The personal comfort level is what I was getting at. It would be nice to see some big databases chime in.

If there was some chance of getting the blinds out I would raise AT. If there isn't... MAYBE I'd still raise with 2 limpers.

I am not playing KT at all in this situation.

The only item that really surprises me in these results is that people are more willing to play KTo, a hand that doesn't play well multiway, when there are 3 limpers instead of 2. Is this because the additional player is poor or because you (the people who called with 3 but not 2 limpers) like this hand against more players?

According to SSHE, top pair hands benefit more from dead money than they lose to the pot being multiway.
