20nl - playing in the blinds?

[megas_xlr]

Hey guys how do you play hands like KJ KQ and JQ from the blinds???
- with 1-2 limpers?
- no limpers?
-min raise?
-standart raise?

I'm more interested actually in the small blind, but I accept suggestions for the BB too...

Since the answer is different for different player types (not to mention the myriad other factors you should be considering), you're really asking dozens of different questions. I think you'd get better responses if you tried to be more specific about situations that are giving you trouble.

I usually try only to limp suited cards or gaped suited cards. if I play them I don't expect to hit one pair and be happy. I play passive when I hit one pair in multiway pot, but if I have over 12 actual winning outs I play it agressively.

Also when you have several limpers, your raise from blinds will make pot bigger, but at least a couple of them will call and you will be oop the rest of the hand
But it all depends on the situation, your reads on villains and so on.
Just try not to invest to pot to much in marginal situation. someone may limp with spp and hit his set and you hit your 2p, so still be ready to fold if you see solid player against you going back strong at you.

If someone like utg minraises and you have a couple of callers, I prefer to complete, sometimes big squeeze, but it all depends

So basically when playing in blinds consider your pot odds/winning odds over long term to be profitable.

As a general rule I'm folding hands like KJ, QT, QJ etc unless it's been folded around to me in the SB. I'll raise these up if I'm in the BB and I get a limper. Obviously a lot of it is player dependant as Given said.

It really depends on the situation for me. If, for example, UTG raises and its folded around to me in the SB with KQs, I'm folding. If he gets 2+ callers, I'll call about half the time and play cautiously. If its folded around to the button and he raises, I'll 3 bet with this hand sometimes, depending on the villan and how much respect my bets are getting. In a blind vs blind battle, I'll raise this to 4x 100% of the time. It really depends on the situation and the players at the table, but as a general rule, fold.

Without any reads on my opponents:
1) + 2) 1-x limpers and no limpers: Just pot it (with 1-2 limpers maybe a little more than pot)
3) Minraise: 3bet to ~9BB
4) Standart Raise:
4.1 EP-MP: Just fold
4.2 LP: Call (if you feel comfortable to play that oop)
