Do I suck at pocket Kings?
 

Background - I'm primarily an Omaha player. Have played quit a bit MTT and SNG NLHE tourneys. VERY INEXPERIENCED with cash play. Just trying to learn, as I might be able to get better win rate. I can definately get more FPP's on Stars.

lol

Re: Do I suck at pocket Kings?
 

I might throw in a raise somewhere in there just for kicks.

Seriously though, if you're not raising your not getting value, and you have no idea where you are in the hand. Start out by raising pf, that makes the whole hand easier to play.

Try reinstalling PokerStars, it seems your raise button didn't get installed properly.

I'd raise preflop in hand 1 but I like the call in hand 2.

Re: Do I suck at pocket Kings?
 

hehe, I would just raise preflop and raise the flop for value.

Re: Do I suck at pocket Kings?
 

yeah....hand 1 sucks bad...but i really like your play on hand 2
