I had to call for time on this one. No real stats - its 2NL deepstack.
I've played a grand total of about 9 hands in 40 hands delt. Yeah - I've been card dead nitty.

My notes have all involved playing a lot of hands, raising often, with a pretty wide range.

Full Tilt - $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em (9 players)
Full Tilt Hand Converter Tool from CardsChat.com
SB: $4.03
BB: $4.06
UTG: $4.61 - Sitting Out
MP: $8.98
MP+1: $3.95
MP+2 Hero: $2.91
LP: $1.50
CO: $2
BTN: $6.08
Pre-flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP+2 and dealt :kc4: :jd4:
MP calls $0.02, MP+1 calls $0.02, Hero raises $0.06, LP calls $0.06, 4 folds, MP calls $0.04, MP+1 calls $0.04
Flop: ($0.27) :2h4: :8c4: :jc4: (5 players)
MP checks, MP+1 checks, Hero bets $0.24, LP raises $1.44 (All-in), MP folds, MP+1 calls $1.44, Hero..... calls TIME


So, at this point, I put at least one of them on a club flush draw if not both.
I don't put one of them on AJ because I would have been re-raised preflop (seen them do it).

If I just call here - I am pretty much comitted my stack. I hate going broke on top pair and decent kicker...

Opinions?

Fold pre. You don't have position, you have 2 limpers behind And your hand is marginal at best. At 2NL Im folding KJo a lot from the cutoff when it's folded to me let alone in this spot. As played, I probably fold cos you have like 0outz here a lot of the time. A limp call from EP and then a check call of a shove screams a set but you are getting about 4-1 on a call here. The only thing you're beating is a flush draw and occasionally QJ but I don't see anyone stacking off with QJ. But seriously fold pre, at 2NL you just don't need to play these hands. Ever.

Just realised you and the other caller would both have chips behind, more reason to fold i think.

Playin KJo in MP is a little loose but not crazy if HJ,CO and BU are tight and you expect them to fold. If they are loose then its a fold.

So if you are gonna play this hand you have to raise it waaay more preflop. Make it .10 -.12 min. With only a 3x raise you're pretty much gonna be playin a multiway pot OOP and that sucks with this hand.

JBWWF, I think not open raising this in the CO is a little too tight for a cash game. At 2nl these are decent hands with position because top pair hands can make money off the people who hate folding any pair and call from the blinds with ATC.

Brank has it right IMO. The thing you have to keep in mind is that this is 2NL. These guys were stacking off with air. If it was 5NL or 10NL - it would be an easy fold.

I called.
Turn was a red 9.

MP+1 bet out enough to put me all-in - which I was pot-comitted anyway.

MP +1 showed Ac 4c for the flush draw (as expected)
LP showed Kd Js

Huh? :eek: And I thought I was being loose...

River was a blank. No Ace, no help to the flush draw. Ended up winning the first pot against MP+1, and chopping with the LP.

EH, I just moved up from 2NL and I was 18 tabling, I guess I fold those hands cos I make enough across that many tables getting paid off with premium hands.

you want to iso the limpers and 3xBB with 2 prev limper's DOESN'T do that. .12c-14c would be good like brank said
