Don't make standard raises with a stack of 12BB. You should be in push fold mode with this stack size unless and until you steal enough blinds to play normally again. This hand is too weak to push for 12BB from an early position.

Don't c-bet this flop. You need those chips. Check and fold.

I have an unnatural hatred for KQ, and probably fold it too much, so I'm def folding pf here. And of course that means I don't like the c-bet either. To the forum...thoughts on KQ?

[BigCummins]

fold preflop here!!!

your too short to make a standard raise and your KQo isnt good enough to push here.

as played just check fold the flop/turn unless you hit.


Yeah KQ is garbage to me too

KQ is a fold, though if you were in LP it could sometimes be a shove.

FWIW I don't play KQo pretty much at all until late game.

I hate KQ, everytime I shove with Ax tonite I get called by KQ, because it's obviously the nuts, even AK, AQ can't beat the mighty KQ tonite. So lesson here is call all ins with it no matter what. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Seriously, I'm guessing if I ran this on sngpt this is a marginal push.

from your earlyish position given your stack size you should just fold this pf.

I'd fold pf also. I hate KQ.
