FR ep open range, KQs vs 66

"Why would anyone think that 66 is easier to play post flop than KQs?"

At 2nl, against certain people, being oop with a set is preferable! Some people will triple barrel with air ip, but not oop, especially on a two-tone flop HU. Being oop sucks nearly all of the time, but occasionally it can be the reason you get paid off. Well, certainly at 2nl, I can't speak of the higher levels.

I'm not playing 2nl anymore. I've made the step up and I'm not beating my new level yet, so clearly adjustments need to be made.

I have been considering folding small pairs utg at 5nl, not because of problems getting value from sets, but because I'm being 3bet more, and, more to the point, 3bet properly.

There's some interesting points here about AJ vs KQ, also both hands that I just fold utg, suited or not.

"The only thing it has going against it is that it flops a dominated FD about one in 300 or so times. "

Meh, compare that to set under set probabilites. It's so unlikely that it can be pretty much disregarded.

I got no problem letting go of top pair with KQ if it gets too much heat, so maybe I'll look at adding it to my opening range utg, if only to widen it slightly so I'm not just playing premium hands and pairs in this position.

Thanks for this thread, by the way.
