Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 6457148, member: 393841"] In general, while you unlock flush draw combos that could bluff, your queen is not the best card you could have, as you are blocking natural bluffs that your opponent could call preflop and then try to get you out of the pot, like: QK and AQ . Don't forget that you are the opener from the toughest position at the table, so Villain needs to combine his calling range with hands of varying strength. So it's really hard to find hands in your opponent's range that are 3 street value with a hand worse than yours. If we think that V has a very wide range preflop or we suspect that he has a fish style of play, this board is not favorable for us, because here we are only beating 88 or 99, since it is more likely that there is only one combo. T5s and at most 2 combos: 53s. Personally in 2NL I would call with AT and fold with worse kickers. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
