[Montezuma21]

UTG raiser was 38/15 (FWIW) but i have NO reads on villain (BTN). he just sat down.

1. what's your play on the turn?
2. am i right in thiking we have to call the river if we call the turn?
3. What's the worst hand you raise PF in this situation?

3. I deffo don't raise QJo

3-imo, probably something like A8s+ ATo+
(and I think even that's a wide range oop in multiway pot.AJ definitly, not sure if lower kickers are good enough tbh)

1. what's your play on the turn? <font color="blue"> im folding as played, but prob b/f is much better </font>

2. am i right in thiking we have to call the river if we call the turn? <font color="blue"> definitely not. there really arent THAT many situations where we "have" to call the river just because we caled the turn.... ask Jay Riall about this, i think he'll agree</font>

3. What's the worst hand you raise PF in this situation? <font color="blue"> PF is whatever. im not a huge fan of raising QJo unlesss you've seen UTG limp/fold several times before, but raising isnt terrible

in this situation i raise any pair, A8+, KJ+, and sometimes other random hands if UTG likes to fold postflop everytime he misses </font>

[Precise_]

i would lead turn for 65. The king is a good scare card.

check/fold is less variance and plays it safe.
check/raise all in is only good with a read

[reason]

1. I would b (~55)/f turn. The king is a good card for you to take down the pot right now.
2. No. If you get called on turn, I guess we are beaten, by K, better J, trips, two-pair (wich all fit in limp/call pre)
3. The line is somewhere in the QJ range

[CITIZEN_114]

forgot that KJ is indeed an obvious raise because you are most likely not dominated because of the limpers.

[scallop]

very weak flop bet, no ?

[RobertLOL]

1. fold
2. don't throw away good money after bad
3. small blind normally i would not raise with qj off suit, unless i'm the biggest stack, then anything is game
