I always fold this hand to a raise unless a paticular read on villian tells me otherwise. The reason for this is that this hand is dominated by some likely raising hands (KK, JJ, KQ, AK). If you are on the button and you knew the pf raisers range and betting patterns after the flop, this could maybe be a call. But I fold KJ to a raise like 99.9% of the time.

yes. it's a horribly dominated hand. suited, i might call depending on how passive the table is (ie. if i'm pretty sure the players behind me won't raise in which case be ready to fold unless you hit a monster.

The raise-fold-call thought hierarchy works here, and it makes it easy on you!

Raise? Not a chance. Fold? Gladly. Like the other posters have said, this is an easily dominated hand.

Also note that the raiser is relatively short-stacked, making messing with this even less worth your while.

If MP3 limps, consider raising. With a raise in front of you, this is easily-dominated trash. Fold.
