    KJ is definitely a hand you can get yourself in trouble with. but, when i’m raising OOP it should signal alot of strength to the rest of the table. i also like to believe i’m a pretty good post-flop player. the player in the BB made so many mistakes in the hand. if he jams or reraises me big pf, i’m done with it. i was ready to go to the felt with TPGK after the flop at that point in the tournament.
    i would not be willing to stack off in the same situation in a full ring cash game though.
    thanks for posting your thoughts on the hand.

    Great addition. Again, nothing I want to disagree with. Rather, I’ll embrace all comments with a simple caveat: You must make moves OOP against players you can make lay down a hand.

    The given that we all neglect to cover is that blind progression changes the dynamics far beyond just playing cards in a rote manner. KJ is just such a hand when the cheese gets binding. While KJ may not be anything more than trouble at most times, it can be a stealing hand from any position in tournament play.

    Cat skinning was the title and the hands were just reasonable points for discussion.

    Thanks for stopping by!
