Message: [QUOTE="skoldpadda, post: 511505, member: 18103"] If you're going to play the KJ against a tight player, prepare to see why it's such a trap hand... ok, check. Now to minimize your loss here, you really need to pop that flop to find out where you stand in the hand. I'm not a big fan of smooth calling there since so many tight players will have a hand that has you dominated like AK or KK or JJ. The only hand you can hope he has on the flop is QQ and you may induce a fold if you pop it. Otherwise, if he smooth calls when you pop the flop, you just have to shut down and be cautious about how much more you put into the pot. [/QUOTE]
