KTo preflop

TarHeel100 · #1 08-03-2007, 09:59 PM

I've run into situations like this a few times in the CO lately and I"m curious to see what others think of this situation. Have a lot of hands against UTG and know him to be a fairly tight preflop raiser.

UTG's stats are: 21.5/5.5/0.98

Normally I would limp this hand from the CO if a couple of players had already joined. Here I am still getting the opportunity to play this hand for only 1 bet, but I am against an early position tight raiser, so I'm behind at least him pretty much all the time. Just wondering if anyone thinks there are sufficient odds here for a call.

I probably call here as well.

Easy muck.

Edit: Whoops! Missed that hero posted. Easy call.

limping in the CO is very different from caling this raise after posting. I dont hate calling this but be very careful postflop.

what sort of hand do you want to flop? (hint: put UTG on a range and start from there)

would you call with K9o or K8o?

This would be the minimal hand with a King that I would consider calling preflop from the posted CO

Since you posted, call and hope for two pair or a straight draw.

Auto call since you have one bet in already. Being in position helps, but by God, you better play postflop well in this hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NIX said exactly what I was gona type

Since there are two big blinds and you have position you can call here. Play WA/WB postflop if you hit just a pair.

If no post, easy fold. I started looking to fold these types of hands to a raise and found it to be very profitable. Since you did post, I agree with the call in position and see what you get.
