Is K-J a good hand?

[Amanda A]

It has potential but needs improvement.

 

[Royal_074]

Good hand to see flop because the combinations with KJ can be very strong, but this hand is bad to go all-in

 

[fialhosm]

Of all the hands, this is not the worst, far from it.
If you find this bad, imagine leaving with A2.
It gives me desperation ... when I leave with 22, I do not even pay to see the flop open.

 

[AKbadboyAK]

depends heavily on the level of blinds and our stack and position as we can play with KJ is a good hand after the flop, I already short open this KJ when we are in position and the players are very passive and with a good stack to play the post flop.

 

[caterina12]

it's not good, you can lose all the money, firsthand

 

[Diegol]

Is a good hand mostly in position but the fishes tend to overvalue this hand

 

[asancheez]

It depends

It is a very open question, it is necessary to see your stack, your position, if you are playing a tournament, cash, spin & go etc.

 

[Aknight3]

Imo KJ is only good from very olat position with one or no raises in front...kj is a quick way to run into trouble

 

[Elvin771]

I lose a lot of time with this hand

 

[Mikica1122]

I love KJ that's my favorite card with them I'm always lucky.

 

[rudy988]

Never liked that hand from day one

Again , would rather prefer 22 ;
Ofc , if I'm shortstack on tourney , and middle/late position ,maybe would push it ! (depending mostly about others)

 

[bra01]

I think K-J not to be a good hand,because K-J usually dominated

by A-K or K-Q and lost huge of your chips

I had a post about KQo and how I struggled to play it. I've found that I was playing the hand against the wrong type of player in the wrong position. This hand can be played from any position against a Hyper LAG but against TAGs you should considering playing this hand from the HiJack to the BB pending there's no 3 bets in front of you. If its suited you may want to 4bet but thats only if the opponent has a high 3bet frequency preflop. From an opening standpoint the earliest position would depend on your table image. If your finding that the you have a tight image you could open from UTG. Also keep in mind that occasionally, very few times, you'll have to open this hand UTG and other positions I said you shouldn't open, call, raise, 3bet and even 4bet from. This will protect your range from being so polarized. Also this is all very stack dependent as well. I answered the question as if you were in a tournament 40-100bb with antes involved or deep stacked at a cash game.

In the game of poker there are many combinations of cards between them K-J for my taste a very bad hand whenever I play with K-J I get for example 2-10 Q and always lose my hand. What do you think about this hand? do you like? you don't like? Do you think it's a good or bad hand?

It is not such a good hand nor bad depending on your position at the table and if you hit something on the flop it can get big

 

[kratos]

I prefer JJ or KK .JK isn't a pair.Only straight or if you hit the flop 2 times for you win the hand.In early positions fold,near the dealer I just call.

 

[xexeu]

depends a lot on their pre-flop aggressiveness, to protect them but rather a good hand.

 

[BnaD]

Love me some KJ suited. Trick is to know when to hold...and know when to fold it....

 

[radartodd69]

K J is what is known as a speculative hand.

K J is good in different situations. It is good to get to a flop with this hand a proceed from there. It is also good when you get down to a few players on a final table. I played it fast when I first started at poker and lost a lot of big pots with it. Now I take it slow and try to play small ball with it.

 

[Fastone2]

I usua/lly don't play K J, however, if the flop hitd your hand, any two cards will be good cards. Right?
You can use any two cards that ya want. I hope you open up your card selection an win... Having fun is what I am all for....
