Default Re: KJs from BB

Think of what you're beating and what you're losing to and figure out how likely each is.

you're losing to KK(on combo) JJ(one combo) and 77(three combos), tied w/ KJ (4ways), beating K7(unlikely to be raised pf same for J7) AA(6ways) and AK(16ways).

Because this is a first few hands, I might raise, thinking AK is the most likely holding followed by AA, both of which you beat, and against an unknown most .25/.50 players (who aren't extremely passive) will play TPTK, or AA as an overpair aggressively if the only things that can beat them are 2pair or a set.

I like the raise here and if you get capped check calling the river.
