Fold preflop. QJo vs. an open raiser in a teeny tiny pot. Next hand.

After that. On the turn, looks like you are drawing to 2-3 outs. Pot is still small. You could avoid all this by folding trash preflop.

Yup, almost thought the preflop call was bad. Now I know /images/graemlins/wink.gif

preflop call with QJo

Look at it this way. You are calling 1 SB to enter this pot, there are 3.5SB already in the pot 2 from the raiser, .5 from the SB, 1 from your BB

You are getting 3.5-1 out of position, HU, with trash

Lets say you have QJo in the CO. UTG+1 open raises, 1 caller, all fold to you. Now there is 5.5 in there, maybe 8SB if the blinds call. You are getting 4-1 in position with trash. I'd fold this everytime.

Why would you call out of position, with less odds, HU?

Just my thoughts
