Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.25. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, CO (poster) folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, Hero calls. Flop: (10 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 folds, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls. OK, I flop top pair with a good kicker and a gutshot. The action seems to indicate straight draws playing against me, and possibly a made straight. I put this player on a pair plus an open-ended draw (i.e. 98s, T9s, J9s, etc.) at this point, but I was not super-confident with this, esp. considering advice on jamming flush draws. Turn: (9.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls. I fear a set or flush here, as well as the aforementioned made straight. I think, though, that it may be correct to raise here for information? My Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] must be encouraging in any case. But what to do on a 3-bet? River: (12.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, Button folds. Final Pot: 14.50 BB |

fold preflop. QJs is marginally playable from MP (some might even argue this is a stretch) and QJo is almost unplayable vs a raise.

I would have folded to the raise preflop.
I can't see a made straight after the flop, unless you really think SB could be playing Q9? More likely a 4 flush, open ended straight draw holding a KQ, T9 or a made two pair. Maybe he even had KJ? I think a raise at the turn might not have hurt. If it's capped, you can check / call the river. Just my opinion (and I'm not trying to be a jerk here), but you can avoid tough calls like this by not calling a raise preflop with a marginal hand like QJo. |
