Re: Does anyone else fold QJo preflop in this position?

I've yet to face an opponent who will bet on all 3 streets then fold to a raise... then again, I'm still at 0.5/1 on Party, and the highest I've played is 1/2 Ladbrokes 6-max. The way I see it, if he's on a bluff, he will check the river and fold to your bet. You gain the same amount by raising him on the turn, and in the event he's holding a K or A, get him to fold there. Why give him a chance to draw to his 3-outer when you can make the same by raising the turn?

You will soon come up against opponents who play their 55 hand exactly the same as this guy, but when you raise the turn, they'll fold. And that sucks, because you miss a bet.
Those same guys who will fold your turn raise will still bet the river, because you've got to have AK, right? Then when you raise the river, they've got to know what you played this way.
It's an odd phenomenon, but you'll see it more and more.
Ni han, spider.
