I'm stopping playing KJ unless its suited and I'm in position. What do you think about KJ? You think I'm too tight?

[ensign_lee]

I don't ever enter a pot with KJ unless I'm in last or near last position and I'm damn well gonna be the one raising. Having them be suited also definitely helps, but yeah.

Otherwise, I'm folding KJ from every other table position. I'd rather have 9Ts.

KJs is a stronger hand anyway except for straight possibilities
But oh well
you're going to get outkicked sometime

[ensign_lee]

KJs is often dominated when I enter a pot; not the case with 9Ts.

And no; I'm not going to get outkicked sometimes. I try my best to never let that happen; one of the easiest ways to do it is to make sure that you don't play a hand like KJ where when you hit, there's a good chance someone hit better.

no reason to play KJo.
