Re: When Should I Have Folded or Not
 

Preflop I would fold. Call if suited. On the turn I would check/call and on the river I would bet/3-bet.

Re: When Should I Have Folded or Not
 

I'd fold preflop.
I'd probably fold to the flop raise.
I'd check/call the turn.
I'd bet the river.

I knew better than to call PF but for some reason, which I have no idea why I did.
Thanks for the help

Grunch.

First off, welcome to the board. You are well on your way to better poker playing.

Second, don't post results, even in white. Folks can't resist to look and the info you get will be skewed and results oriented.

On to the hand.

Fold preflop. Bad hand out of position. QJos is semi-playable from the CO or the Button.

I Check/Call the turn.

I think I'd bet the river. You bet the previous two and you'd HATE to see it get checked through at this point. I 3-bet it also if raised again and call a cap.

So really the only fold I find is preflop.

*grunch*
7-handed I call preflop.

Flop: I play the same.
Turn: I don't think we have the equity to pump this draw, and we know MP1 is probably going to raise after we just called on the flop, so I check/call this turn.

River: We have a one-card straight here so I think I just call Villain's 3-bet. The straight is obvious so he seems to think he has it beat.

(checking results) Yep, I was afraid of that. I make a note that this guy pumped a 10.5:1 gutshot plus a single overcard with only 4 players.
