Re: Why do we fold QTo from UTG?
Okay, let me rephrase it. You learn more from the flop with T9s than QTo.
T9s can flop a flush draw, QTo won't unless there are three suited cards on board, and even then QTo could easily be beaten if the A or K of the suit is out.
T9s can flop three different open-ended straight draws and four different straights, QTo can only flop two different OESD's and three different straights.
They hands have the same chances for full houses, sets and two pair.
T9s will usually fold if only a pair flops with nothing better. QTo can't fold those hands if it is to have any significant chance of winning the pot. If you're going to fold a pair on the flop, you should fold preflop.
