Default Re: QJo in the SB. I was told this was terrible, but...

With no read that this guy is raising light, I don't like calling this shallow with QJo.

As played you've got top pair against 1, so the check raise is ok, bit of an overbet but you'll be pot committed in any case.

Though again, with no read I probably lead out.

I fold PF. I might call if I were in the BB. I still might fold it sometimes. I value position sooooo much.

I don't hate preflop as much as most...position doesn't matter as much "as usual" because the stack sizes are fairly well setup to CRAI with decent draws or TPGK hands, and QJ is thus a pretty decent hand. Might still fold though.

Having said that, it's fairly obvious that I'm CRAI this flop. c/f is awful, you have the best hand way too much of the time to do that. Leading isn't great because eliciting a cbet with his missed hand is pretty important here.
