Default QJs Blindwar against light? reraise

Havenīt seen the opponent before, but he is at a couple of tables and seemed tight, so probably cabable of reraising light. Iīve raised his blind enough that I think there is a good chance that he is getting out of line.

Think all streets may be debatable. Even though I think he is 3betting light, I dont really like 4-betting as he could easily shove AK which will cause me to make a bad fold.

I was going to check-call the flop, is leading or check-raising better, if he bets 60-70 should I just push if I want to raise ?

Lead or check turn ? call or raise ?

Lead, check-call or check-fold river ?

Fold PF.

EDIT: Rest of the hand looks fine.

Def. fold preflop. I'd highly consider folding the river regardless of the price. I don't think we are good here often. Its cheap but I doubt an opponent like this is firing the river on a bluff. Seems like the straightforward type.

[/ QUOTE ]
Generally, when the player directly to my left starts re-raising really light, I prefer to adjust by tightening up a little bit, and 4-betting more often.

When I do decide to call/check raise a lot of flops with a weak hand, I'd prefer to have small cards and, pairs. Other than that, the only big cards that I'd ever really call with are AK/AQ/KQ, with these stacks, AQ and KQ being trouble.

Even with AQ and KQ, you have to have a lot of history to be able to play confidently if you flop a pair, especially if you want to play a big pot.

KT/QJ/QT/JT kind of hands are just so easily dominated, and so rarely dominating (even by a loose PFRRer) that trying to play them OOP in a re-raised pot is just asking for trouble.

Here, you are OOP against a "loose re-raiser" where you don't have much information about his post-flop play, with only 100BBs. Calling here cannot be profitable.

You could re-raise here, and that will probably fold a lot of his range, and that could a fine and good play, but I'd usually just toss it.
