    Default KJ off suit from SB, Tp good kicker+ flush draw

    live ring game, max buy in $200, blinds 2/5

    position small blind.. KcJh ($850 in chips)

    One right to the button raises to $20
    button: Calls $20
    SB (me): calls $20
    BB ( $550 in chips): Calls $20

    Pot: $80

    Flop: Jc, 5c, 7c

    SB (me): bets $60 on Tp + good kicker + high flush draw

    Depends on the game and raiser, but I'm almost always folding KJo in the SB to a raise. Mediocre hand, oop, dump it. If you're sure he's stealing, re-raise. As played I like the flop lead, but without a read probably fold to the min-raise. It's a scary board.

    Welcome to FTR. For future reference, don't post results! You'll get better advice that way.

    edit: somehow I missed that you have the second nut flush draw, even though it's in the title of the thread I don't mind your push actually. But calling's an option too since he's giving you good odds to draw with his min-raise. You'd have to re-evaluate a blank turn then. A read would help.

    $200 max buy in for a 2/5 game????????????
    Min raising in a 2/5 game??????????

    No offence, but I get the impression you are really out of your depth at that level.

    This is pretty standard a lot of places.

    sweetgt3 didn't min-raise, the BB did.

    Yeah I know, I'm just saying it occurred.

    Is $200 really standard for a game like that? I find that very hard to believe.

    Well, it was a quite a loose table.. And I think it was a good choice calling a raise with KJ off suit preflop~~

    I'm not a live game veteran, by any means, but I've been to two casinos in WA that were $2/$5 blinds with $200 max buy-in.

    We can agree to disagree. If CO is a loose raiser and has a stack close in size to yours, I'd prefer a re-raise. But I'm rarely calling with this hand in the worst position.
