First question - do you guys raise this PF?I do this when on the button often against a weak limper.

I saw this guy leading into the raiser with weak bets before,and he always shuts down when he gets any action.thats why i felt like raising to make sure he really doesnt have a queen.any thoughts?

i generally don't iso KJo against random UTG limpers, unless i know a.) they're weak/tight postflop or b.) they're limping all kinds of random garbage

flop is ok but i like calling better, as it allows us to rep a number of hands on the turn and lets us continue against what is likely to be a range of weak hands.

Preflop is mandatory in position. Flop is fine, he didn't have anything, w/e.

IMO, an UTG limp at uNL means that the UTG player realizes they have cards in front of them and it is their turn.

With one limp (from any position) I raise KJ OTB to the size of the pot all day long and twice on Sunday.

On the flop I tend to be a bit nittier, here. If I get donked into after raising PF and I don't have top pair or better, I usually give up. Unless they min-bet or something equally hilarious, then I treat it as a check and I make my standard c-bet.
