This is what Harrington says about playing KQ before the flop with no raise or call in front of you:
1. In a tough game fold both KQs and KQo in early position.
In a weaker game:
2. With KQs raise 50% of the time and call 50% of the time.
3. With KQo call 50% of the time and fold 50% of the time.
While points #1 and #2 make sense, I don't know what to make out of #3. I don't see any benefit from the 50-50 split between calling and folding, under the same circumstances. If calling has a +EV than I would call all the time, if not fold all the time.
If #2 50-50 split makes sense in the name of balance, there is no balance in #3 where opponents never get to see you folded KQo.
Am I missing something here, guys? :ciao:
