Looking back at this one I think the turn better was terrible; what can he call me with that I get value from? Not much...

Wondering how you guys would go about playing this one

What's more confusing than the turn play is why your limping KJ off UTG... That's the real issue here.

The majority of players at these stakes have a VPIP of 30-55. Because of this, I've opened up my range a ton. It's something I've been doing in live games with big success; my reasoning has been, "why fold KT if they limp K3?"

Since it's a 45 instead of a 9, I need to play a looser style. However, the question is, is KJo too loose for UTG+1?

I'm not sure either, but I think it's +EV. It costs a small proportion of our stack to see the flop; it isn't that likely to be raised pre. It all depends on their limping ranges really; if they play K8 hard when they've hit TP then it's good(I think)
