Default Re: Passing up 7:1 pot odds with KQo

Well, I mean, if I'm shooting for two pair, then I could call with anything. If fact, I'd rather call here with low suited connectors than with KQo.

You don't think it's siginificant that there has been a raise and two callers? First, I could easily be dominated by someone. Second, I'm playing the hand OOP. And I don't have a large enough stack to find out where I'm at w/o it really hurting my stack. So, I can't play it strong at all even if I flop TP. Which might allow even one of the callers to luck into a hand that beats me.

And it's so easy to just fold and move on. Use my skill at bubble play to my advantage and keep a healthy stack.

I honestly think that KQo, in this particular case, is one of the worst hands to have here. Again, I'd call with something like 67s before calling with this.

Easy fold for all these reasons.

I think this is a real chip bleeding situation, sure 50/1000 is not much, but there's no way you hit a good enough flop enough times to make this worthwhile.

My thoughts exactly, though I'm probably a tighter caller than most.
