Sorry dont have the hand history,

Hero is dealt KJ hearts

UTG raises to 3, CO calls, Hero calls. 3 way action to the flop.

Flop ($10.50)

Qc 10h 4h

UTG bets $6, CO moves all-in, Hero??

Results to follow.

This is a read dependant call. If CO has made similar moves before, I call... You have lots of outs.

easy fold pre-flop. you're asking to be dominated playing KJ (suited or not) against a PFR.

i think you should fold the flop. that big overbet push could easily be the nut flush draw (or utg could have it, and he might think he has the odds to call being the 3rd person in), in which case you're drawing very thin. playing this hand against a set is pretty mediocre too.

"This is a read dependant call. If CO has made similar moves before, I call... You have lots of outs."

How is this read dependent?

Best case scenario is CO is over playing top pair in which case you have 18 outs more likly you have 15 outs assuming the player has 2 pair or a set. If you call you have about 1/3 chance of winning the hand and the pot is not laying suffiecent odds for a call.

This is 6-max, KJs is fine to play preflop for a raise.

Let's see what the CO could have here. Against top two pair I'm exactly even money here, and against a set I'm about a 3:2 dog. Even against a hand like A5 hearts, I'm still not even a 2:1 dog.

I think CO would also make this push with Qx hearts, or AQ, KQ. All of which I'm ahead of.

How do you factor in UTG?

You have six outs to make a straight and six outs to make a pair against the nut flush draw. Hardly drawing thin. (If you're referring to all three of you ending up all in, one with top pair and one with the nut flush draw, then you can still make your straight, so it's not the end of the world. That seems rather unlikely though.)

Here are some possibilities if you get all-in against one opponent:

Yes you are an underdog if someone has the nut flush draw. But you're not in terrible shape unless they have *exactly* Ah Qh. If you end up all in against a single opponent your equity will vary somewhere between 40-60%. I can't remember what the betting was in the hand that was posted but from here it should be a simple math problem to see if you have odds to suck out if you think you're behind. And if you think your equity is over 50% then just put all the money in and pray.
