Fold.

When in ep, the fact your hold cards are suited should make no difference to your decision to play or fold.

Call , deserved to see flopu. Piss away chips...

FYP

Easy fold in this spot. If you were in lp then I could see a raise if folded to you, or call a small raise to go to a flop. But this is an easy muck.

There's a lot of luck involved in any mtt. Just because it's a freeroll dosent mean you should play weak hands out of position just to try to lucksack.

I would fold because I expect people to all-in at the beginning of freerolls. In the rare case people all call the blinds and you are at or near the end position, then I would call too.

Generally I would say dump it. But there is something else to consider: How is the table playing? Are your opponents playing tight or loose. If you raise will they fold to you or will someone shove? Just something to consider.

k/j

this is one of my favorite starting hands. but still early in the game
be patient and fold it. to many times all inners and bingo players will ruin a good starting hand.

I think it would depend on how many BBs you have with a 2K stack.

Yes KJs is very playable in EP if you have 5BBs.

It's also playable if stacks are very deep. KJs can hit flops hard and win a lot of money. You can play it similar to 810s, Q10s, etc. However, this really determines on your post flop play. If your post flop play is weak, you're probably better off just folding the hand.

KJ is hand that would likely be dominated and as it is a freeroll with many players tend to shove even the first hand,i would say fold.

in early freeroll you can raise... well also depend about the number of players in your table that already fold/call (or if you see a player that go all in every hand so be ready for him before you make a call) but in cash game i would just call to see flop maybe... also depending about your stakes...

Basically it depends on the MTT.
If you're playing freeroll, that is launched every 10 minute maybe it's time to move allin. It's all about luck then.
When it comes to real money, you should fold them in early phase oop, or try to experiment on a button.

In a Freeroll there's a greater chance of players going all in... Would you want to shove that hand ?

I'd muck it in EP...

I think you should go all in with that hand. That is not what I would do, but if I had AA or KK or even AK, then I would call and dominate you.

I think you should fold because you do not have Ace.. KJ KQ are usally called a trouble hands..

on a freeroll i might limp and then fold any 3 bet raise. kj might not be the strongest hand however you can win lots of chips on a a10q flop, or with 2 or 3 cards of your suit your hand can be very strong postflop, so limping might be the best option in this scenario.

Easy fold. This is a bad hand to play out of position. And even if you hit the flop, you can not collect enough value since you often will be playing out of position against an opponent.

KJs is probably the trickiest hand in Hold'em. Every single A that got into the flop is dangerous for you. Even with top pair of Kings you would have only weak kicker. Neither flush nor straight would be good to you. Just fold it :D

depending on how many bbs you have, you should give call

exemple: 15bbs is call
less 10bbs is fold
20bbs or more raise.

Depends on the tournament, but I would fold. That hand looks strong, but it's actually not, and early position...
