Default Re: live 1/2 straddle squeeze?

I think I just check it here. So many people limp AJ and KQ, that if u get called by them you will be in a world of hurt. Play the KJ for 2 pair and str8 value, as it has good value against those same people who limp KQ and dont realize you might have 2 pair on a K J 5 flop.

Basically you are bluffing with KJ here, and KJ has some value if you check it. If you get called your gonna be lost in the hand if your flop C-bet is called. Unless you are squeezing often I would not bother in this spot. ( by squeezing often you can setup a great image to get AA KK QQ paid off ) Some people advocate raising junk like 9 2 here, but this only works if your image is tight. The 40 dollars in this pot makes it a good spot to make the table believe you got aces.
