KJs, raise PF?

[PSW]

PokerRoom 50/$1

game is loose/typical, many players new to table.

With my hole cards, I wanted as many to see the flop as possible, thus the lack of PF raise. That and I feared the possibility of a reraise due to my position. Am I correct? Other comments also welcome.

Seat 10: Hero (UTG+1) [KD,JD] ($42.15 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($0.25), BB posts blind ($0.50).

SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero (UTG+1) bets $0.50, UTG+2 calls $0.50, MP2 folds, Button folds, SB calls $0.50, BB calls $0.50, UTG folds.

I think you played this well. You're in EP, so I wouldn't raise KJs PF (though I would from MP or LP).

hi

old me would limp this UTG+1 and think, "man, I'm in early position. KJs is relatively strong, but not too strong. i don't think i can raise this."

new me would raise this UTG+1 and think, "bling bling, suckas!"

i'd raise this up. in a typical loose passive game KJs is strong (and I don't fear a reraise preflop).
