Will folding KJo in mid/early position cost me much long run?, Eihli, 3. Sep 2003 21:23

Or is it the right play on a regular low-limit table, especially one with a lot of raisers?

i wouldn't play it more than 3 or 4 off the button with any frequency unless the table is super loose. just my humble opinion

I agree with chardog...not exactly a premium hand to hold in a super loose table. I would rather have a table with a few loose players and a few timid ones, just so your good hands don't get bad beat by crap.

It won't cost you that much to fold it in EP or MP. KJo is a dangerous hand to play except in LP or a steal position, because it really isn't strong enough to stand a raise from your left and more often than not when their is a raise, you can easily make a second best hand.

Now, if the game is loose passive, then it is probably worth a call in MP...I still dump it in the first three spots though.

If your opponents are difficult to read and several of them are making it expensive to play post-flop, by raising lots of drawing hands and that sort of thing, then I think that you will probably save money by folding KJo from mid/early positions. You certainly won't be giving up much. If they were a relatively passive bunch who would pay you off when your top pair was good but not punish you much when it wasn't, and especially if their post-flop play helped you to define their hand some, then I think that it would be worth playing from middle and later.
