Sometimes I'm so so stupid!
Arghhhh....
I really don't understand this brain freezes I have.
Anyway... I had 2 options here:
Folp preflop because my position sucks for this hand or fold to the raise.
opinions?


Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, J.
Hero calls, UTG+1 raises, MP1 calls, 4 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) T, J, 4 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 5 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

River: (8.25 BB) 7 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.25 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Kc Jh (one pair, jacks).
UTG+1 has Kd Kh (one pair, kings).
MP1 has Jc Qh (one pair, jacks).
CO doesn't show.
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 11.25 BB.

Yeah, fold pre-flop. Post-flop looks fine. I might bet that river.

 I think it was played pretty bad all around. You must fold this preflop, in a super tight game you should raise it and not limp UTG with it. Secondly, you should be the won betting/raising here on the flop. Either a check raise or lead out. Once the other guy takes over, then you check call down.

You still would have lost, and lost more, but that would be the correct way to play it.

I would have folded preflop as well. But, if you were in it, definitely bet out on the flop to see what he does (probably would raise). This one requires a read...or just don't play it.

 agree 100% with ellipses and chicago. fold preflop, bet or c/r the flop. you have TP strong kicker, for god's sake. the guy could have AK/AQs.

Let me echo the sentiment to fold this hand preflop. I'm not a huge fan of KJo, and most definitely not in first position. You only set yourself up to play a weak hand out of position and lose lots of chips.
