raise for sure!

You gotta see a flop. KJ is worth paying some money to see 3 more cards. If an ace flops fold. If a K hits you gotta hope you have the kicker and a jack isn't always the best kicker. Cross your fingers and pray to the poker gods your Jack backs you king up.

Hmm... Id usually fold this hand.. i assumed that the right answer would be to call. KJ off.. never works for me when somebody raises before me :/ If that wasn't the case i would give a good raise and most of the time people would fold to me.

Amazing yesterday the way it went I would call and today I would fold. Partly because of the cost and who raised/called. Yesterday to some I would look like I don't know what I'm doing but today in this situation I would fold so it goes to show some people like certain cards. In each case you have between 33-50% chance of winnning. How does that goo if you win big on 1 of those and lose small on the other two as long as its a net gain its a good play. Am I right there we are looking for making money not losing it.

you cannot be serious, playing KJoff a weak hand already,acting first on all rounds, and the limper is already stronger than you, call, hit a K or a J and lose all your money...

Finally a answer I've gotten right in the last few days... lol... this time I choose what I normally do.


However today at the 1000/2000 NL playchip tables, I was indeed playing KJ for a couple of raises... since I needed to do something to stop my loosing streak.. lol... and it worked. Almost made my choose call since it paid off for me today pretty nicely. But decided to just stick to my regular method.

I think it really depends on the relative size of your stack. If I'm top-stacked a marginal stack, I would fold, for the simple reason that the J kicker can get you into trouble. If I was mid stacked I would call to see the flop, and not lose too much if the flop isn't favorable. If I was low stacked, I'd be all in, just because the cards are decent, and I'd trust them in a race, especially heads up.

These quizzes should be based on a full table, where you can see people's stacks. It would help the decision process.

cant go any further with ace on flop...

[ChipMistriss]

Well I got it wrong but thank to ya all I won't do it while playing so thanks.
