Raise QJs with 2 callers

[H20]

I'm trying to increase my vpip and preflop raise, dont know if this is a spot to do it.

BB is a maniac, who will bluff raise on any st when he feels like it and also call down alot. CO is l-a and hj is l-p.

PF is superstandard, raise turn.

No one is 3b-ing the flop?

That's what I was going to ask [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] co could be lone overcard like Ad gutshot meaning w/fl draw we have pretty big addt'l equity with two solid high cards; even better HU vs co's ostensibly lone big card.

bbs likely hands probably dont conflict with ur equity at all ie its unlikely ud clear up outs Q4-Q2s and J4-J2s are in his bb range but they may not donk their weak pairs into 3 very often. CO hardly ever folds but u could buy a freecard. I think i prefer preserving our implied odds.

I just want to go back and say how I would never in a million years even consider not raising the turn here

It's fine, except that I would raise the turn.

Excellent point.

[nickg1532]

for the love of god raise the turn, plz.

otherwise fine. i suppose there is some merit to 3 betting flop(free card + good equity). but i think i like calling better.

Raise the flop.

Raise the turn.

You have position with a great draw. Bludgeon them with it.
