Re: QTs in MP. What to do?
I would call. If you're behind (and I think you probably are), there's still a good chance you have 6-9 outs, with your top pair and gutshot and potential chop outs (a 7 will put a straight on the board). Although you could be drawing dead to a hand like A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], I think you'll have a decent number of outs most of the time. Even against a set, you're not in terrible shape (though it would suck to be up against 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8x specifically), and occasionally you'll be ahead.
I guess maybe raising for a free showdown is something else to consider, but I have trouble figuring out when to use that play.
