would you ever play...

...QJs UTG?
It seems like a very close call to me, and I was curious what the right course of action was. And, a second question -- if you do choose to play it, would you limp or raise?

[bernie]

i think if you study game texture instead of 'just' hands and position, youll answer this yourself.

my answer? yes. and a a couple different ways. but not always.

sorry, no cookie cutter approach to this one.

If I can't play QJs UTG, I leave the game. Therefore, I always play it.

Dynasty.

Do you always paly it, or do you not play in a game where is is ok to play it? My guess is that playing in a game that is almost always heads up or 3 handed on the flop with a raise or two, would that be something that might urge you to release it preflop?

If there were two very tight players with tight raising standards in front of me with a raise and re-raise then I'm tossing them preflop for sure.

I am probably badly dominated by either or both of them.
