Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7151175, member: 397965"] Preflop Because of the limps CO has opened pretty large, and he should also be on a stronger range, than if it had folded to him. And for that reason I would also not 3-bet here. If CO is a tight player you could actually just fold. But I guess, its fine also to call, since you have ultimate position. You just need to be aware, that most of the time this will be a bloated multiway pot, which is not always the greatest thing in the world, if QJs flop top pair. Flop You do flop top pair, but its a very coordinated board, where a lot of logical two pair will be represented, especially in the limpers range, and someone might also have a straight already with QT, which again is a very likely hand for someone to limp-call. So even though your hand look strong, you actually need to proceed with caution here. Another way to look at it, is which worse made hands will call, if you bet? And multiway hands like K9 or A8 really should not continue on this board. JT, TT, T9, T8 will clearly continue, but those hands are pair+draw and have a lot of equity, so you are not actually getting value from them. What I am getting at here, is, that even though QJ is top pair decent kicker, it can not really bet this board for value multiway. That being said I guess, its ok to make a small bet to clean up some equity, and maybe even for a little bit for "information", since I think, its a somewhat easy fold, if you face a big check-raise. You could also check back though and see, what happen on the turn. Ideally you would want to see a low brick and then they check to you again, or at least there is no heavy action in front of you. Turn I dont know, what CO is ever donk leading with here other than exactly a straight. There is not even a flushdraw, he could be bluffing with, and if he was turning something into a bluff, would he not jam, when he only have around a 2/3 pot sized bet left? Only betting half his chips screams like "please give me action". You are not getting the odds to draw to 4 outs, so good fold. [/QUOTE]
