$10 Stars Nightly 15K Guaranteed - KQs early

[APipeDream]

I am mostly posting this because I run into this issue continuously early in MTTs and don't really know how to play this well.

This is hand 9 of the tourney. Villain (in the BB) has been active already, like the small hand history I have on him so far (after 49 hands on other MTTs): 47%/13%/2AF. Is this a standard fold early against this type of player, or ???

Just fold, you can't really know what he has here, but he most likely has you beat. Even if he doesn't you can you possibly play this hand after the flop now. If you flop a K or a Q you will not know what to do. Your only really good flop is top pair with flush draw or straight draw. Most of the time you are going to end up folding after the flop.

fold. kqs easily dominated. i would wait 4 a better spot. however, with a better read u might play it as u have position, if u r a good post flop player. depends on the opponent. i fold tho.
