QJ in BB
 

My image is pretty tight, Button seems to be a fish on the loose passive side.

Relevant stacks:
Hero: $367
UTG: $382 (19/14/3,2)
CO: $529 (47/13/0,6)
Button: $30

The other two have full stacks.

1,5/3, 6-handed

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG raises to 10,5, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, Hero calls

I was thinking about squeezing here but because UTG seems tight and it was a shortie I didnt do it, do you like a squeeze here?

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (63, 6 players)
Everyone checks to button that bets $19 (all-in), SB folds, Hero raises to $38, 2 folds, CO calls

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (158 (38 in sidepot), 3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $39, Hero folds..

Do you prefer something different?

squeezing here is probably +ev but this hand is really callable preflop, i'd rather do it with something i couldn't call with preflop but something that would fare well vs. button's range, like an A8o type hand or something. (i really don't mind squeezing with a8o here at all) but in general, squeezing an UTG's range here probably isn't a good idea.

i hate your flop raise. it's not enough to get draws out and you're going to be oop on the next round with a ton of scare cards and not know where you are and how to act. just make it like 70 or something, you probably have the best hand a huge majority of the time, and it will let you know exactly where you stand.

turn, eh getting 5-1 i think i call, but its a pretty annoying spot.

yes, maybe 70 is better. the reason I make the dreaded min-raise was because it was a risk someone (esp the pfr) was sandbagging even though it was not that a big risk. Also I didnt want to build a big sidepot if anyone eanted to cold call so it should not be attractive to steal later.

its just so unlikely that co would be bluffing here in a protected pot and that you are oop with a pretty mediocre hand.

Any more opinions?
