I probably fold this preflop, no point in getting in a pot with an unsuited hand that is dominated easily. It's marginal +EV if anything, but I just don't think it's wise to raise it.

If I don't continuation bet here, I fold the flop. No point in floating here OOP.

After he calls my turn bet I usually check and call here because every draw missed (straight draws, turned flush draw, etc), and you want to give them that opportunity to bluff.

You fold KQo UTG? Thats really nitty.

OP, donk bet on flop plus flat call on turn is 80% of the time a really strong hand. I would definitely fold on flop. As played, turn and river look absolutely standard.

[/ QUOTE ]Folding KQo UTG 6 handed? Sure. Id do it. 6 handed ill play it, but not raising UTG. You're going to have 2nd kicker/3rd kicker if you hit, unless you hit 2p. I also C bet here after raising PF.

No it isn't, while you can play KQo UTG, It is imo the worst of the playable hands here and basically as default I too find that this is a fold. (Unless it is a very juicy table or there is a major calling station sitting)

I normally fold KQo utg too, but if you're gonna play, it's better to raise because if you just call and nobody raises and the flop comes Kc7h2s you have NO IDEA if your top pair is good. If it is good, you'll win a small pot, if it's not you'll lose a lot until you realize it's not good.

This thread made me smile. My wife walked in this morning, and saw me fold KQo UTG on one table, then open-raise 43s on the Button on another table, and I gave up trying to explain it to her. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

KQ is to easily dominated by a large range of hands, OOP makes it even more difficult as you've no idea what's going to happen with other players in the hand after you act. Add to this that if you get a bunch of limpers it doesn't play well multi way. Also, what will you do when you hit your pair and get a call or meet any form of resistance? Trouble hand.
