KQo and QJo

I just noticed that they are my biggest loosing hands, thought that was kinda strange, they are decent hands after all. Maybe I'm playing them too much from bad positions though. I'd like hearing from other players at high stakes how these hands are doing. My sample is about 80k hands, so it's pretty big and includes mostly 6 handed, but also some FR and 5-HU games. They are the biggest loosers when it comes to net loss, bb/hand they come like 4th or 5th. The suited versions of the hands are big winners.

KQo -$9k -0.40bb/hand
QJo -$9k -0.31bb/hand

Are nobody interested in KQo and QJo these days!?!?

I think you answered your own question.

you might be calling too many big river valuebets with top pair when its clear you are beat

Does anyone reraise with KQ a lot? I do it almost always vs. LP openers..

Maybe something like that yeah, cause I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be such big loosing hands if played right.

Sometimes calling those big valuebets works out though, I think this will be a good month for QJo :cool:

I think u get shown QQ-AA or a set/2 pair a lot there.

i kinda know that guy zimp personally! hes solid

Against a random player I agree, we had been playing for like 1-2 hours and I was pretty sure he'd call and raise turn with those hands though, and that there was a very good chance he'd 3-bet bluff a dry flop as I suspected he had done that several times before. Hard to discuss HU hands, just thought it was a fun hand since I won quite a bit with QJo for a change.

I thought he was hard playing against, yeah.
