I'm wondering about my flop play here. I didn't think my hand was good and didn't think that hitting my jack would be good either. Should I have raised or folded the flop instead? What are the odds I need if I'm basically playing two backdoor draws here? Also, who likes raising preflop here? I'm not so sure about that.


*Small blind folded AQ off.*

definite raise preflop, this is universally agreed upon on these forums. raise the flop.

Yup yup. Raising this hand PF and on the flop makes it so much damn easier to play. You had no idea whether your hand was good on the flop, you should have raised it there too.
