Ultimate Bet 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP3 with Ks, Jh. 4 folds, BB checks.Flop: (2.40 SB) Js, 6s, Qd (2 players)BB bets, Hero.....???tiny pot, should I just move on to the next one?

KJo is barely playable in middle position, in fact folding it preflop is probably better.Fold on the flop, BB could have you beat easily, he saw the flop for free.

Yeah, just give it up and wait for a better spot.

I thought that KJo should be played in middle/late posistion with noraises[ontopic] yes folding is the best option here I think [/ontopic]

It's probably one of the few hands that arguments could be made either way for. Personally, I hate it unless it's suited, or there are a few limpers before me. I'd fold KJo if I'm the first to act, because I don't want to contest a small pot with it. Obviously play it on the button or the cutoff.My opinion is that a multiway limped pot is better for KJo, then a barely played pot.

I think it depends if the player is capable of just betting out here on a bluff since he has only one opponent who showed weakness by limping in. Even though the pot is small, I might still consider holding on to the hand. But, I don't call here. If you want to keep playing, raise him on the flop. Especially if he is a bold player, there is a decent chance that he either folds right then or calls the bet and then check/folds on the flop. You could definitely make an argument for both continuing to play or folding in this situation though.

Err...aw crap. I mis-typed in my first post. I meant to say "there is a decent chance that he either folds right then or calls the bet and then check/folds on the turn." So right now I bet.Please tell me this guy folded or he called you with a lesser hand so that I can be right for once.

Unless he's a mouse that never bets, raise the flop, bet the turn

Fold the flop.There are better places to worry about getting 1BB than fighting over it here with a probably calling station with Q3 who's going to call you the whole way.Is that really worth spending 3BB getting 1 to 1 on?

Oh poop. Well, I check now cause if he was on a draw, he isn't calling and he probably isn't going to fold a Q now. Poop, poop, poop, he had a Q, didn't he?Edit: I wrote this before seeing the results.

Who's the king of cold hand reading, baby!!Anyway, still probably a good idea to let it go. The reason you do well in these games is that this guy will call you down when you have AQ with that, he's not suddenly going to change his mind and fold when you have a worse hand.
