Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if any of you play Kxs and Qxs the same way you play Axs (6 max only). (Limp from late position, unraised pot) I play these all the time, it just seems so rare for my Q high flush to run into higher flush. (I can only remember two times out of hundreds). I don't go any lower than Q though, and sometimes don't even play the Qxs at all actually.
Agree?

They're similar but not quite as good. There is the admittedly small chance of a bigger flush, but also if you flop a pair it's more dangerous - if you flop the low pair your kicker isn't the top kicker; if you flop the high pair an ace might still take you down. Generally I will limp Ax suited from the button or small blind, and that's about it. I play Kx suited very occasionally at passive tables with lots of limpers; usually I fold it.

Depending on the table I'll limp Kxs but I don't like Qxs. PT says I spew chips all over in LP w/it. I think it might be because I'm getting stuck when I hit TPWK or two pair, as far as playing it solely for flushes, I don't think it works well because when you do hit your flush you don't recoup enough for all the times you played it and folded because it doesn't make good non-flush hands. I'm still limping in LP w/QJs tho.

yeah, most problems come in when you play these for anything but the flush. However I'm only playing these in unraised pots, period. Even fold them to a min-raise. Therefore I'm assuming that most of the time I'm not up against a premium hand, so if I do hit top pair on the flop, I'm not afraid to bet once (a decent sized bet, so I know for sure if I'm up against something), and check/fold the turn/river if my flop bet is called. Damn i need to get PT, can't believe I've been playing this long without it. Limping QJs in LP? That's a raise for me baby!  (JK, not all the time)
