I'm just curious as to how this should be played.

Villain has only been at the table for a few hands, so no read on him.

raise flop and go on from there ,

Fold preflop, fold turn.

If you're opponent is known to be aggressive, then I like your line and then call the turn.

Against an unknown, raising the flop is good but also is just calling. But once again call the turn, since you just called the flop.

Because you don't know alot about UTG raiser I would fold this PF.
As played I fold it on the TURN.I don't like calling raises with QKo because I never know if I am good and a lot of times you get in a [censored] spot like this.

I would call sometimes IP with QKs but only agains people I know

[aka_bebel]

Why should we call TURN ?What do you do on the river when he fires again ?
Why raise FLOP ?We have no info on UTG raiser .
Do you call a push if we raise FLOP ?

It sucks to just call TURN because u called FLOP .

[link_coke]

you should never be limping into pots pre. If you're going to play a hand, raise it 3x+1x per limper

[spivey]

Hero posted for sitting out, he didn't limp.

[abcjnich]

Why are you posting? Don't post, and fold turn.

raising the flop gives us some info on his hand ,,,plus we take control of the hand in position ,,,,

[nearlyalex]

its generally not a good idea to post both the blinds its usually better to wait for the big blind

pre-flop i would fold as you will avoid tough decisions like these, on the flop i would raise as UTG may well be c-betting, you could just call and to get another bet if you think he is c-betting but probably a bit risky with an UTG raiser and no reads.

[Goodnews]

raise the flop, fold to a 3 bet, check turn UI, call any river bet less than 3/4 the pot

[DaycareInferno]

if villain is loose, i'd 3bet him preflop before i'd call him. most of the time i fold.

as played, raising the flop sucks. you're in position, so you'll get just about as much information from calling as from raising. i don't like wasting a decent/marginal hand in position by blowing up the hand on the flop.
