KQ in early position

[myxomatosized]

how do you like to play this hand in early position? under what circumstances would you raise, call or fold this hand?

[Bakes]

i just dont play it from early position. if i am raising KQ from early position its because i can raise a multitude of hands from that position (suited connectors, small pairs) profitably.

It all depends...
1)How experienced are you at poker?
2)How well do you know your opponents?
3)What is your image at the table? What about your opponents image?
4)How many chips do you have? How many chips do your opponents have?
5)Is it a full table or short handed?

I don't want to continue the list because I will forget things-- I am tired.

Anyway, as you can see there are a lot of things to consider and no one can simply answer that question in a way that you want it to be answered.

[[Here is a general rule I can give you if you are a beginner. Don't play this hand in early position, especially if your at a full table. It will usually be problematic.]]

Lastly, since you posted this in MTT strategy I must also strongly urge you to read "Harrington on Hold'em Vol 1, 2"

Hope this was helpful! Ask more questions!

SHort stacked, just shove it.

When you have some chips, and want to lose them, by all means play KQ off. Call or raise, doesnt matter, because you will lose your chips either way.

KQ suited, i normally just raise. (I raise everything first in). Drop to a rr, or just play poker post flop

Its one of those pretty looking hands that isnt really all that good, and, even if you play it well, you prolly wont win much in the long run, so just as easy to dump it to start with?
