King-high hands in middle position

King-high hands carry 2nd nut flush potential when suited, and top pair potential either way. King-broadway hands also carry higher chances of a straight than Ace-high hands, as they have chances of flopping an open ended straight draw, which has higher odds of trning the straight than a broadway or gutshot straight draw. However, they are behind right off the bat to any Ace-high hands and can be outkicked when the kicker pairs, if someone holds an Ace and pairs the same card.

The only King hand Maverick likes to raise against limpers is KQs. After that, it will only limp behind with KJs, K10s and KQo. Every other hand, even though you open raise with them, gets folded against any action in front. Against a raise, Maverick will only play KQs and KJs.

Hand	Action When 1st in	Action With Limpers	Action When Raised	Net $ Per Hand (3/6)
KQs	Raise	Raise	Call	1.09
KJs	Raise	Limp	Call	1.02
K10s	Raise	Limp	Fold	0.72
K9s	Raise	Fold	Fold	0.00
K8s	Raise	Fold	Fold	-0.31
K7s	Raise	Fold	Fold	-0.21
KQo	Raise	Limp	Fold	0.04
KJo	Raise	Fold	Fold	-0.03

And as we can see, Maverick's selective for good reason. KQs was the most profitable at $1.09 a hand, a little over 1/3 of a small bet. Only KJs and K10s showed any significant profitability besides KQs. KQo finished a hair above even and K9s finished just about even. All other hands were a loser.
