Re: Preflop odds to play speculative hands such as K3s
[ QUOTE ]
If your hand isn't strong enough to raise in the small blind, then it probably should be dumped

Jayshark's comment here sums it up better than I can.
If you're calling out of position with trash (against several opponents), you're pretty much putting yourself at every disadvantage there is in the game. Against good players you're not going to be able to overcome it for a profit.
Of course there are exceptions; there are times when playing any two cards can be profitable when it comes to weak players can be bullied after the flop... but then I'm sure they're easier to bully when you have decent position as well.
Also, remember we're talking about K3s... a lot of other speculative hands have a lot more value. Small pairs and connectors are way ahead of K3.
