QJo gets cold-called, whiffs flop, turn and river.

Villain is 55.4/12.2/2.15, Btn is 39.7/15.5/1.3, BB is 21.7/7.2/2.8.

Is preflop bad given rake and loosies behind me?
How do you play this post-flop?

I would rather play a suited qj utg. I play it the same way postflop. His agression factor is pretty high for a vpip of 55 so it might be a spot to 3 barrel???

Remember that it's 5-handed, so I'm basically in MP. I don't raise QJo UTG and usually not in MP either.

hmm yeah but you have 2 loose semi aggresive players on your left it would be a lot easier if it was (weak)tags.

QJo. Should be a tweener for you. But one of the worst scenarios is you getting cold called by 2 or more players and you being OOP.

Thats gonna happen a lot in this lineup. This is a huge argument for you to tighten up in the HJ position at that table.

@ the hand.

Flop and turn = standard LDO.

River. It depends on how loosely he peels. I think he calls turn with any Ax. But he also calls with 86, 87, 96, 97, T6, T7, J6, J7, Q6, Q7.

Thats a lot of combos you beat. So I think you should consider calling the bet, but I havent done a stove.

If he is also calling the turn with JT, T9, J9, Q9 etc. Its a very easy call IMO.
