General KTo Question - 1 off the CO

[blubster]

I'm in a tight 10-20 game and I'm dealt KTo in 6th position(1 off the CO) and no one has opened yet.

I'm curious what you guys would do here?

I used to fold this in smaller games but now I'm thinking this is probably a profitable in a tight game. The reason is in the game I was in, I think probably more often then not my KTo was only gonna be going up the blinds, at least 1 of course and 2 if the SB completes because the game was pretty tight. I'm sure in a game like this sometimes I'd get a limper after, but I'm thinking I'm profitable limping here, what do you think?

I was dealt it today and limped in 6th.

Thanks

You can raise to steal the blinds.

Easy open raise.

Open-limping in CO-1 is generally a bad idea. If you're going to play a hand in that position, you should almost always raise. KTo is an especially easy raise there. I would do the same with QTo and even JTo.

If your going to sit in tight games, you're going to have to get a bit more aggressive with your better opportunities. Note that I'm not talking about the specific holding of K-10o. I'm talking about opportunities to represent more than you have and win without a showdown. Pre or post flop.
