SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $18</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $44</font>
EDIT: SB folds

I dont think he'd raise a Q here, but he could, so his range is something like: sets, flush draws, straight draws, maybe some Qs and air. Does the small raise make the draws less likely?

With the draws out there I dont like folding, but I'll be playing out of position and my kicker is weak. Do I just c/c reasonable bets on the turn and river to extract max value from what I have beat? Are the kicker and position issues enough to make this a fold at some point?


Does your answer change if I've been really active over the past several orbits and c-bet waaaaaay too often?

pf is bad
fold flop

with sb still to act i cant think of any reason to call

I guess I should point out that the SB is a big fish (63/3). I was raising in order to get into pots with him. I wasnt worried about him in this hand at all.

EDIT: I must have cut off part of the HH. The SB folded.
