I don't really like the raise on the flop, I like calling more.

As played, river is a call

i like it.

I think is standar, maybe KTo is not 100% preflop raise, too loose ¿?

¿When is better raise preflop with this KTo, in loose or tigth tables ?

He is on the button here and it can be raised on both tables. Ideally the players in the blinds are weak and readable post flop though if they are calling alot from the blinds.

Ok, but with standar player in blinds or one player without reads, KTo is good hand for make a raise in BUT/CO ¿?

I think KTo is not good hand for do this always but i think i'm in mistake.

Hand Pot equity Wins Ties
KT 60.25% 19,806,949,728 828,186,388
** 39.75% 12,926,022,284 828,186,388

I'm thinking in re-raise from blinds or bet in flop from villain, is very weak hand or not ?
In 30% ranges of hands, i don't know.

PD: all speaking in 6max.

KT is a better than average hand so taking it up against 2 random hands when you have position is +EV.

I actually like the flop raise as the board is a bit draw heavy and you need to charge chasers the max

River is a call.

Anibalk,

Not sure I understand what your stating. KT is a decent hand to play from the button/co against the blinds. If they 3bet from the blinds you can fold. If they are calling from the blinds you will win alot more times post flop against them.

1. Continuation bets will be successful alot.
2. You will hit TP hands that will have showdown value and you can check behind on the turn for pot control.
3. You will pick up draws and can check behind for pot control.
4. Youw will start getting the blinds calling you more frequently which adds profit to you.

Thx for you explication ^_^

I put KT versus random hand (without range). (60%-40%)

I'm not playing KTo-KJo in this positions without caller and raisers because i think is weak hand.

You can only hit TP with medium Kicker or nothing, only have c-bet.
I'm playing only this hands in this positions versus tight players with reads, not in standars players or loose players with high agro.

I start to use a litle bit more. Thx

PD: sorry for my really poor english
