Moderately interesting KQo hand (playalong)

[DrModern]

I'm at the Foxwoods $2/$4 game on a Friday afternoon. The game is incredibly loose (6 - 8 players to the flop on average) and very passive (to this point, which is about 2 hours of play, I've seen 2 or 3 PFRs that weren't my own).

There are 4 limpers to DrModern, who is on the button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Do you prefer to limp here or raise and why? If it influences your decision at all: the blinds, like everyone else at the table, are very loose.

Raise for value. I'd rather make the 92s and A3o type hands limping ahead of me pay two bets instead of one.

i probably raise

is the table generally playing 'check to the raiser'?

[ESKiMO-SiCKNE5S]

(on the flop i mean)

[DrModern]

No, donk bets are frequent. (They are donks, after all.)

This isn't even a question, raise baby!

[ESKiMO-SiCKNE5S]

meh i probly just limp along then

value raise would be fine too

I just got sick of deciding what to do with KQo so now I raise in all positions with any number of limpers.

With KQ, all you got to worry about is someone limping something like AT. Otherwise, you are infront of everything else.

Also this is live, so when you happen to flop your trips, straight or boat, I want this pot to be massive. Live play is so much more about the gamboll for me.

I was hoping to have a more interesting discussion than this. If you're raising, why is that significantly better in EV terms than calling?

If you were hoping for a more interesting discussion, you should'nt post something like KQ where everyone has a different opinion, and both opinions are very close. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I raise because I like playing in big pots!

lol, that is terrible english, what I mean is it is always gunna fall into the raise or fold camp and both are close so not worth too much discussion
