Minimum Requirement, Jack or Ten?

[krakajak]

Right now I play hands like AT, KT, QT, and JT from any position, but I wonder if I might be better off folding them, and requiring at least a Jack kicker. Or maybe I should only play them from late position. Any thoughts?

Depends on your stack. If you have a big enough stack that you can pay to see the flop then it might pay off to do so. If your short stacked, I personally would fold those hands unless I was able to check. Late position though you might want to play those out depending again on the bet.

personally, i would raise with AT from early position, TJ i would call from early, as long as no raisers, but be ready to dump post flop.
KT/QT i would only really ever play in late position with no raise before me with plenty chips in front of me. In fact i may even consider a raise with these in late position if the blinds were worth stealing.
Anything lower than AT (inc hands like KT/QT/KJ things like that) i would say are only pretty much good enough hands to lose you money on.
Yes you will see players on WPT/WSOP etc playing these cards, but these people are professionals, playing against professionals, and what you see there should not be tried at home

AT and JT are the only 2 of those hands I would play from early position. But I would proceed with caution in both instances. JT is better then KT and QT because it can make 5 straights and is the only card combination where every straight it makes is the nuts, so in short it is the best connector.
