Off suit paint MP unopened pot

[Zybomb]

Say you are playing at a NL 9 man table. Players 1-4 all fold and you look down to see a hand like KJo or QJo (maybe even KQo). The table isnt overly aggressive or tight. Open, Limp, Fold?

[junYUN]

open, baby!

at least this is the move i almost always make (unless the table is very aggressive).. if you're going to play this pot w/ those cards.. you have to open.. i don't see how you can justify limping.

i guess the case could also be made for folding, but, thats a little too conservative for my taste.

open, but not too much, say the BB was 100, id go in for 250

[BlibbityBlabbity]

I would open as well, but you want to be careful opening/raising with different amounts based on the strength of the hand. Would you open 300-400 with KQ, AK, 99, etc? Then your open for 250 would make it smell like a steal and you might get more action then you want with a marginal hand. Winning the hand right here would be a good thing.

[eejit101]

true, but he is in mid to late position, and it would depend on the table style, players reads e.t.c, the respect i am getting, that kind of stuff, but i agree with your point

[Defendant]

I disagree with opening for only 250. Im a firm believer in consistent raises, only varying them as a function of how many people limped in before you, and what position youre in. Generally, 3 to 4 times the big blind.
