It's a tricky hand because of reverse implied odds. You make a medium pair or a pair with a medium kicker. You don't get much action from something weaker than that but you do from stronger hands. But still often worth playing depending on position and prior action. Much tougher hand in early position.

Hi guys. I noticed that I almost always lose with this hand. Even A7 and A9 will be better than that. And what about you? Do you have a hand that constantly loses in any all-in? Which one?


I think KJ is good to play when you are in late position, specially to steal the blinds. But talking about all in situations, if you calculate on Equilab, you will see that in this example range (66+, AT+, KJ+, QT+, JT+) you are losing this hand 60% of the time. So I do not like to play all in this hand in a lot of situations.

For me K J is a bad hand,which pretends to be strong,but can be beaten by A2.
