Default Stars $11/ 2OK

My image is tight/nitty due to an active table and sucky cards. Took some strong lines with nothing a couple of times to maintain, have not shown down one hand through 2 1/2 levels. Villain was tight early and has been a little more active since getting some chips.

fold preflop?
As played, this is not a good spot to bluff, call flop and hope for A, 9, or T on turn. Don't expect to get paid off much if you hit the straight.
Don't expect your opponents to be paying much attention to how you have played up till now.

I think you should fold here really, you have reverse implied odds up the wazoo. Meaning A/9 hits you are only getting action from a Q but of course AQ is well in UTG range. Only thing folding to a raise is an underpair.

54bb is not deep enough to play a suited gapper in position?
Any over callers help my IO...no?

B-Komplex,

I feel ya..had some concerns...but I feel his entire preflop range is still in play with his weak lead.

When you evaluate the flop lead in light of BB being in there and a flop that hit basically everyone, it doesn't seem so weak anymore

SB...and calling 3-1 is pretty enticing even oop.
