Default Re: What size kicker to go broke with in HU play

First hand, with no reads, I'd need a good (J+) kicker to go broke with.

Once you've got some reads, there are players I'd go broke against with a 2 kicker, and some who I wouldn't go broke against with less than TPTK.

Penguin~

As I said you will only go broke with a 2 kicker. The minimum kicker EVER to play is a 5 kicker... so don't even bother with kickers worse than that. The OP said the other player also had TP... so it'd be stupid to play a 2 kicker... DUH

Therefore, I suggest you NEVER EVER EVER go broke with less than a JACK kicker... or it will be impossible to acheive a 65% winrate.

Who says opponent has top pair? Also, I don't think you're going to win 65% of your matches vs someone this aggressive anyway. The higher %s come from the passive/weaker players, imo. (I honestly think I'm like 90% to win vs some of the superdonks who play like weak/passive autistic children that can never learn)

I agree with Goldmund. Fold anything lower than KQ. I like to be the one making others call with top pair only, not the one making that call. The fact that it's the first hand shouldn't influence your decision that much. Only a small percentage of the players out there make the "play crazy the first few hands and show garbage" play.

I'm thinking against a sane thinking person making this play, bottom two, bottom or middle set, or TPTK are most likely. I mean, who's making this play with K9 and thinking he's gonna get called with anything he can beat? And if the person is bad enough to make this kind of play with K9, chances are decent he will hang himself eventually when you have a monster.
