Raising QJo from UTG+1 is very hard to do profitable.

U checkcall all way because?

I would often checkraise flop, bet turn and fold if raised. Unless 3bettor isnt a very tight raisier toppair will often be enough.

QJo is doing pretty well for me from this spot, but my image is very tight mostly..

According to pokerrooms stats it should be pretty clear that this hand is profitable from here usually.

"Pocket cards: QJ
Position: 3
Players: 5
Table limit: any

Table limit

$1/2 0.17

$2/4 0.1

$3/6 0.04

$5/10 0.1

$10/20 0.13

$25/50 0.14"

It's fine the guy looks aggro enough to keep betting junk pocket pairs and ace high and might be aggro enough to repop you with worse if you ever try to check raise. I like it, passivity rocks.

Ok, I used to raise QJo from any position when I played 1/2, 5max (2 years ago). Then I kept doing it, playing 6max 5/10 at Party but it soon became my number one losing hand (my VPIP was 21%). Started to fold it from UTG and UTG+1. At which level is it a winning hand for u?

How do you know he is not betting a good hand? Or did u want to say: "Its fine IF the guy looks aggro enough..."?

5/10, but my sample isnt very big. Pokerrooms sample gotta be pretty huge though /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
