if I had a pt at some of these 10-20 b&M tables like this one, the average vp of the table would be 40. QJo is definitely good enough to play.

I see no value in raising here on the button when we already have it. CO, sure.

I find this decision to be very player dependent. Has he raised his drawing hand before? Would he have raised or called on the flop with a made flush? How good is his game? Does he know that he is effectively isolating you and would he do that with a drawing hand?

In many live games against a loose player who can be aggressive post-flop, a C/C, C/C is a good enough line and you will win often enough with TPMK. If a spade falls, you need to decide whether you can represent the big spade and get him to fold... again, very player and read dependent.

I'm not raising it OTB, I'm limping it. I'm folding it in MP.

I agree fold this trash preflop
What are you ahead of here? Your a dog to A/K(one spade)
you about even money with any A-x (X being a spade). Any Pair (holding a spade) etc etc.

You get to make top pair with a bad kicker..wow...

PF in a limped pot, I believe this hand has low, but positive EV. Live, I definately play it for the advantages that come with playing live and becuase ITS LIVE AND PLAYING LIVE IS LIKE WATCHING THE GRASS GROW WHEN YOU PLAY TAG!!!!

I think check call is a fairly substantial mistake.

First, if I'm going to play preflop I usually raise here to try to get the button.

Second, given the board and your read I think this is a pretty clear flop 3-bet and turn lead. You're almost certainly ahead and don't want to be giving any free cards. Plus, if he raises the turn I think you can fold pretty safely.

this is what i was gonna say.
