Raise that [censored] up!
If your a true pimp you might muck to a 3 bet-but eh- maybe not.
The guy was the SB- not too much involving a 4 he can legitimately have here...maybe a PP or an 8. Also, someone with trips might have tried to play en fancier, as many dumasses try to do.
OTOH, theres no rule that says folks have to play legit hands- I think ultimately though raising is + EV here- he'll have a 4 once in a while, but often he'll have less, and anything less is a loser for him.

Re: QJo
 

...raises.

Re: QJo
 

Raise turn. The river plays much differently then.

Re: QJo
 

Raises. He could have anything! and if he had a 4 he sure played it oddly, but that is often the case at 1/2.

Re: QJo
 

I was going to raise the turn and know this is the proper play, but I feel uncomfortable doing it against an unknown.
