$60 KQ L3 from sb, open raise it

I'm completing this. Your raise would only fold out worse hands (weaker kings and queens) which we want to stay in and t50 you win most of the time isn't worth anything... Bigjoe stated this in his videos several times IIRC.

First, I want to say I've never seen the video.

Completing creates a lot of problems. You are letting him check behind a lot of garbage hands that will outdraw you like T2. I'd much rather just win the pot OOP preflop. Second, villian is a 19/7 or whatever he is. He's going to call the raise looser than you think. He's not only going to call with AK but also with KJ QJ QT, which we dominate. Another problem with completing is that if we're not completing here with AK or 7T, why are we completing w/ KQ?

By completing with KQ, you get a call -- and raise, from Q2 on a Q high board... that would be the argument. Both are fine IMHO.
