Quick Preflop Question...QJs...

[thirddan]

3 loose limpers and LP raises (stats are 21VPIP/7PFR/1.5Agg), hero is on button with QJs....BB is 20VPIP/5PFR...

Hero calls, yes?

[private joker]

No, I fold this. Against someone who raises PF 7% of the time, QJ is dominated. Your only hope is the flush draw, and even with 4 people (BB and 3 limpers) calling the raise, you aren't looking great. Move on to the next hand.

[thirddan]

hmm, what about KQs or JTs?

[private joker]

I'll often cold-call with KQs, depending on some other factors. With the reads you've given, I think KQs is worth a cold-call, but I would play it very cautiously after the flop. If I don't get a flush draw and the flop is, say, Qxx and I'm meeting great resistance, I wouldn't press the hand.

I fold JTs.

how many limpers would it take for you to play QJs or TJs right after the raiser?

I wouldn't want to put an exact number on it since it all kinda depends, but if, say, 6 people limped and the CO raised and I'm on the button... I might consider it. But I don't know. I really dislike cold-calling. If the raiser is a maniac, I would 3-bet KQs. If the raiser is relatively tight, I'd fold regardless of the limpers. When I have QJ or JT, any flop outside of a Broadway straight rainbow is going to get me into trouble against a 7% PFR's range of raising hands: AA-TT, AK, AQ, AJ, KQ.

This must be a time to call cold!

I probably call this. Suited broadways with position are too fun in a multiway pot to just fold.
