No real stats on anyone yet, first orbit at table...

Firstly, preflop thoughts?

What do you do on the flop, and what's your line for later if any?

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with [Ks], [Qh].
UTG raises, 2 folds, Hero calls, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) [Js], [4d], [5d] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero ???

easy fold preflop, not that I always do it..but with no read UTG raiseing, fold

flop, fold. fodl >>> raise >>>>>>>> call

KQ off is one hand i cold call with a lot... Probably a big mistake.

Anyways, pre-flop aside, any merit in continuing on the flop?

He means fold preflop. And the flop is exactly why. Sure, we have two overs, but with a PFR, they could both be dirty. We can't continue. AK, AQ have us crushed, KJ, QJ (unlikely) have us reverse dominated. Just fold, find a better spot.

PS - Fold Preflop. KQs is closer, and depends on how many others are in the pot, but always fold KQo to a raise.

Yea, I see the preflop fold, but Actuarys first post also mentioned folding the flop.

You *always* fold KQ to a raise? There has to be some game conditions where it is okay to play it.

I'm not really qualified to know what to do here pf, but I'd tend to call.

It's probably weak, but I fold this flop (two overcards +bdsd for only 4.5 ish outs, player left to act behind you, etc).

<<reading replies>>

My trusted SSHE says to call pf. I'm assuming then that 1/2 party plays a lot tighter than 3-5 players on average to the flop, in which case it would be a fold.

You're right... it says to call with KQs, not KQ

I'm not sure how, but somehow I fold both preflop AND on the flop. wink.gif

But yeah, I don't want to play KQ against a raise preflop, especially without a read and the raise coming from EP. The positional advantage doesn't make up for what could very likely be a large gap in equity, with him on the positive end.
