simple preflop question

[TStoneMBD]

3/6 6max

3 loose idiots limp in, you have K9s on the button:

I raise both. Position + equity. And its what the red book tells me to do.

Had it yesterday at stars, I limped. I dont think raising is wrong though.

I think limping is wrong much of the time.

I'm with Trix on this one. I limp no matter who the BB is.

There are plenty of LPP limping hands that include a bigger King, Ace flush of your suit or A9. Your suit and straight strength are about equal to your pair strength in this hand, and there is a decent (not huge) domination factor. There isn't as much preflop equity as it seems. Take the hand to the flop for 1 small bet...post flop equity is much better here.

K9 suited is a big money loser for me...I don't want to spend 2 bets here. One and out.

If you think it's a losing hand, why even call one bet?

well 3 limpers and position isn't really the average scenario [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
