Just call or fold PF, then the hand plays itself a lot better.
As played, ya pushing is good.

you can limp PF

[Infiltraitor]

How many limpers were there before you bet?
I don't like this all in because with more than one limper, there is a good chance that someone has you beat and will call (i mean come on this is Party Poker). I would take it to the flop and see what happens from there.

You have a lot of chips don't push PF

I think I limp PF here... or raise more 600- depending on my feel for the table, but usually limp.

I'd bet the flop 2/3 pot (after limping) and slow down if called.

As is it's ok push- pots too big - any bet is going to be most of your chips.

The reason I usually limp - Top Pair Top Kicker TPTK can cost you a lot of money in NL Hold'em - and you don't have that.

KQs can be tricky Post Flop - It gets you into WAWB (Way Ahead Way Behind situations)
Q high, K high, and a flush is not always good and can lose you a lot of money because you don't want to lay it down.

For those reason I usually limp PF <with 8 players in> and play it conservatively.

I probably just fold this preflop. Sometimes I limp, but I don't usually don't like limping once the blinds start to get high.

If I was going to raise this I wouldn't raise it 300 into a 700 pot. Even if everyone folds around to the original limper, he's only needs to call 300 to win 1000. Those are pretty inviting odds, and he really shouldn't be folding anything he limped from this position.

You have to have a reason for raising. Are you simply raising because KQs is pretty? You don't want action here with K-high, you want to take down the chips already in the pot. I'd raise (if I was going to raise this, which I wouldn't) to around 800.

[/ QUOTE ] when? PF maybe, but I don't mind your PF raise either, if you play post-flop well. but you are folding to any agression.
