I prefer 66, simply because when it hits, it tends to win larger pots, especially in raised pots. KQ has nasty reverse implied odds, the worst that can happen really with 66 is set under set, which is rare. Bottom line is, I don't mind being out of position with a set.

Wow, all the way back to page one. Erm, just out of curiosity...

i have a problem/// i read in the preflop article posted at the digest, that some do raises with KQ in UTG.... i tried doing that, but i flop just a pair... K or Q and i bet but i get reraised i fold it immediatlly afraid that his got the same pair with A kicker.... is it right to do play it like this?


sorry for many silly question ...but i just wanna make sure i am doing right the play and again sorry for my english.

Where does he say 6max?

Where did I say 6max?

6max is different, I might fold KQo, I might raise it, depends on factors like stacks, villains, stage of tournament etc. At the FR cash tables, I muck KQo utg some 100% of the time.

lol, ok, bro, you're right, but I didn't see him say FR either. The folding KQ UTG just caught my eye and that's why I'm "all the way back to page one" and if you are doing it in 6max it's probably wrong. I really cannot think of too many situations at all where you should fold it UTG unless you are playing like a nit. Which isn't necessarily wrong at 5NL, but you could probably be making more by placing it in your range.

just for clarification I am talking cash, not tournies.

To be fair, I'm pretty bad at 6max cash rooms. I do play 6max mtts though, and have a reasonable record, and KQo is certainly in my UTG opening range. As for 9+, in MTTs I might well open KQo, depends on table of course, but at cash rooms FR I am a nit UTG. I'm looking at adding KQs to my opening range UTG, but I think I'll keep folding KQo.
