All of the following relates to a Party 6 or 11 in the first 2-3 blind levels.
Usually when I'm in the blinds and there's a raise ahead of me I have a clear sense of call/raise/fold, because I have a premium hand or a terrible hand. But I was wondering about those good-looking, bad hands: KQ, KJ, QJ, AJ. Certainly I'm not calling any substantial raise with these hands, but in the hand below, it's minraised. So I call from the BB. Then I hit the flop in just about the best way I can, but I check (bad move?). It is, however, fortunate I check because the players behind me make it abundantly clear that they have AQ, KQ, a set, a strong flush draw or at least huge pair (oh I'm so witty). The converter misses that they push and call the turn, but that doesn't mattter much. The only part I'm asking about is the preflop call/the check when I actually hit my hand. Do you just fold the easily dominated hands mentioned above (after putting in SB/BB) to even a minraise simply because your position will suck postflop?
Hmmm...just cause it came up right now, KQs UTG, limp/fold preflop?
