[Closed] KQ preflop question

Hello everyone,

This is my first post and I would quickly like to say what a fantastic help this website has been for my poker game.

Anyway, I have a question regarding KQo preflop.

Being a potentially dominated hand, KQo is a raise or fold hand, so what I want to know is, if you raise from early position and then someone else reraises, how do you play KQ?

If you are reraised by a tight opponent who doesn't raise much before the flop should you fold?

He could have AA, KK, AK, AQ, QQ, all hands that could leave you in a very bad situation.

Thanks again for all the quality articles, coaching and videos. I hope to learn a lot more in the coming months.

Correct. :)
All these things are mentioned in the SHC or the ORC.

Here is a nice preflop article:

http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/fixed-limit/161/

This articles tells you everything you need to know for preflop play.


I hadn't really paid much attention to the shorthand article because I'm sticking to FR for a while yet.

What's the ORC?


The ORC is the first chart you can see at the link above. "First in".
ORC = Open raising chart.

If you are playing FL curretly I guess that you can still rely on the SHC. But you can use the ORC for the later positions if you like so. (And all the other charts as well except the last "cap" chart.)


Ah, right.

Thanks for that, I'll take a close look at the charts.


So simple put:

We can play the agressive post flop game explained in the silver chart?

What abouth blind defense?


There is no chart for postflop play. ;)
Blind defence is in the charts included.


Oh typo...i meant the preflop game sorry =)
