Re: KJo early position equity
you can stove KJo versus other ranges in a fullring game and it might come up as breakeven or with a slight edge.
from EP, given your positional disadvantage it's going to swing it into the -EV range. also, stoving it is going to assume we go to the river and since we will be checkfolding a decent amount of the time we don't hit that won't be the case. also, we'll often be in the position of winning just a little the times we do, and losing the most the times we're dominated.
KJo is an ugh hand pf in EP. it's more valueable in later position with fewer opponents.
this hand is a good example of why static preflop requirements in poker aren't any good. in EP it has little to no value most of the time, but in later position it can show profit.
