uh shove turn get called by allsorts of [censored] draws, that are dead?

What about the flop raise, should I have called to trap both?

Re: QJ Line Help 1/2 NL
 

You gotta bet that turn against a bad player--your goal is to build as big a pot as you possibly can, and I don't like relying on the river to do that.

Expert 15BB pf call.

Yeah um, the PFR had made it $100 to go BLIND two different times in this session. The PF call is a good one.

I do not agree on that, it's QJos! The flop call was only good because you hit the right flop and an even better turn...

no, actually it's not lol. i guess your plan was to fold any flop you didn't hit?

if he's opening that wide, i would 3/b shove here rather than call.

Re: QJ Line Help 1/2 NL
 

You are right, I should have either folded or 3/b.

Not too much wrong with calling $30 pre with QJo.... as long as the blinds are $15/$30.

Against aggressive maniacs, you can afford to be patient at full-ring. I'd just wait for a much better spot.

Also, and you MAY be able to do something about this as you're playing live, you're not in the best seat. Against these type of players, you ideally want him on your immediate LEFT. This gives you relative position on each street.
