In a difficult full table game, does anyone fold KQo UTG?

[eugeneel]

I almost never play full table games, and I recently had an argument with a friend about KQo utg. He claimed that he does not know a single player at foxwoods who would fold KQo UTG (in a 20-40 game which often gets difficult) and he claimed that it is always incorrect to fold this hand UTG.

Please help settle our argument.

Really depends. Probably not giving much away by mucking it and AJo UTG ten handed.

In a tough, 10-handed game, I muck KQo UTG. In a soft game, I play it... sometimes for a raise and sometimes for a limp. Whether I raise or limp depends on who is in the blinds, what is likely to happen behind me if I raise/limp, etc.

In any event, even in soft games, the hand is not worth much UTG. There are a lot more worthwhile things to argue about.

I try not to play in games where I can't play KQo utg.

I agree completely with this. Whether or not you can play KQo utg is a good barometer for a game.

If I am in a game I consider difficult, KQo is an easy muck under the gun.

Last night 20/40 game was an openers game. So whatever I was playing was comming in for a raise. KQo was not going to be played UTG by myself though I saw several players bring it in UTG along with KJo.

My tough decision last night was what to do with 88 and 77 UTG.

Sometimes you just don't have a choice. With the must move chaining on the 10/20 the 20/40 is normally a better game, but the tougher players are tougher.
