or K2s from UTG. This is why I love playing these total crap hands early in an event. If you catch you catch big, if you miss, oh well you gave up <1% of your stack. First hand of a SNG.

Ah crap. Not a MTT, a SNG, and it's probably LC anyways... But anyways I'm in the MTT mindset, but don't have the time to play a full game so, SNG it is.

It's not so much that no one expects K2s that results in you getting paid off early on - it's that players suck and won't fold their weak hands to raises.

The limp is a little loose from UTG, even for only 20 chips. There's too much of a chance someone behind you will be raising, and if you're doing it with hands as loose as K2s, those 20 chips after 20 chips will add up. Also, say you limp, there's a few more limpers, and someone raises it to 60 - you're probably going to call, but then your limp cost you 60, and with a hand as weak as K2.

Flop: Fine since it's so uncoordinated. If there were a flush or straight draw, I'd probably bet out right on the flop to start building a pot.

Turn: You should bet here. The could be a really good card for you giving one of them two-pair with JT. If someone liked their hand on the flop, they'll still like their hand here and you can build up the pot more. Continue to bet the river.

if you're gonna make silly preflop calls with this to get "paid off" when it hits, you really have to get money put into the pot when you do hit, just bet/bet/bet and get paid off by lone jacks and other garbage
