My KJo is a BIG loser

gopnik · #1 07-06-2006, 02:27 PM

Just looked at my stats in PT and it turned out that KJo is losing a lot of money for me (-0.34/BB after 54 hands).
Is it supposed to be a winner? Small sample? Probably misplaying?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Actually, I don't know about the third "yes" one way or the other, but I do think it's funny.

I doubt KJo is a big winner, even at 6-max, so variance is going to play a big part over a small sample. And it takes lots and lots and lots of hands to analyze the results of any individual good-but-not-great hand with any real accuracy.

I stopped raising KJo UTG 6max because it is a money loser for me.

Stox also folds it.

I never hestitate to raise KJo in 6 max. PPL call in the blinds with dominated hands all the time.

You guys still have to play position in 6 max.

KJo is a hand that if raised early and called by other than the blinds is very difficult to play and leads to some domination and reverse domination issues. Look at the types of hands that will call you. I am comfortable against none of them. So I fold UTG, and UTG+1 but then raise in the CO or Button if first in. I will check on the BB.

Interesting - I must admit that I tend to raise indiscriminately with KJo and that overall it's probably a leak. This looks like a strategy worth trying - if I've got the discipline for it.
