Playing KTo preflop
A strong hand — open from most positions; the HJ is the earliest seat it opens. As stacks get short it only gets stronger — at 5bb KTo is a jam from essentially every seat.
Position matters: from under-the-gun (LoJack) KTo opens 15% of the time, rising to 100% on the Button as fewer players are left to act behind you. The later you are, the wider you can open.
The common mistake with KTo is opening it from early position where the solver folds it. Respect the position threshold — it's an open from the HJ onward, not before.
