common situation

[EvanJC]

1/2 5max @ pokerroom. no reads.

i raise utg w/QJo. mp/co fold, button calls, sb calls, bb folds.

flop comes K32 rainbow. I check (?), button raises, sb folds, i call.

turn is a low blank. I check, button bets, I fold.

I guess my questions are these:
1) is the preflop raise bad? in a five person game it seems like QJ would be an alright raise UTG, but i could be wrong.
2) should i be autobetting this flop? obviously i would have if i had A9 or something, but i don't know about here. assuming it went like it did, should i be folding to his flop bet, or is taking a turn okay?

any comments appreciated

I think the UTG raise is ok. On the flop, if you are not going to bet out and represent the K, I think you have to fold when another player bets. I auto bet the flop.

I usually rise this at 5-max UTG as well. I do auto-bet this flop though. If you are aggro on the flop usually, than checking says, "I don't have a K. Please steal/bet for value with any pair. Thank you."
