Hey! Is this play just horrid? I mean, I couldn't just throw it away, villain was kind of donkish anyway, running like 35/5, plus I doubt I am behind here, I can see him having QJ most of the time - makes any sense?

I dont think you will get much response on this hand, but if villain is as donkish as you say I am calling here. I think villain c/r ai any really big hand here.

Doesn't make sense to me. He raises 5% of his hands and you are putting QJo UTG as one of those 5%? Doubt it.

Edit: As for whether you are ahead now, I think you made up your mind when you 3bet preflop. Have to call IMO.

Here's a 5% range if he uses it for all positions:
99+, AQ+.

True 35/5's are not raising QJ UTG - I would call for the sole reason of having no respect for short stacks. However, this is a high variance call.

IF villain is 35/5, then he only raises premium hands, which means that he got something like AK/KK/AA/QQ/JJ/TT/AQ here.

Dunno if he pushes all those hands on that flop.

I'd call, but be prepared to see better hands.

i think KK
35/5 player is not very aggressive.
if he has AK, he'll play it.
KK, tilting beause Ace on board

He could easily have AK, A9 or A10 here which have you beat. I am thinking this is what he had.
