Personally QJo is not in my calling range vs utg open, and this is exactly why
Easy game with hindsight isn't it. For me I wouldn't be calling an UTG raise with QJo in the first place. Having gotten into that position though I would've played the same until the post flop re-raise where I would have bitten hard onto my tongue and folded – I really was expecting villian to turn J10. Either way I think at the micros calling an early raise with QJo is going to lose more than it will win.
with my A game I fold flop
with my B game I fold turn / check back turn
with my C game I bet and call everything
Makes a ton of sense for this fish. 10% utg, x-minr TPTK, x-minr best trips. The only queen from his range that we beat is QTs. I guess the best play is 50% bet-call flop, check back turn and fold unimproved because on river he of course moves all-in seeing that checking doesn't do much.
I would have folded QJo preflop. I thought it was "common knowledge" that QJo is a pretty bad hand to call raises with, generally speaking… For exactly the reasons that materialized here.
Big surprise at the end. I was sure villan had J ,10.
pfr10% thats raising 10% of hands preflop right? i dont use a hud. but it tells me that his range doesnt contain 66, 99, JT (open raise utg). so no set over set or straight. it can kinda only be a better queen/AA/KK :S or he's full of bad 😀
In my opinion, it depends on the opp type. If it's a overly aggressive fish, I would have called here too lots of times. But mostly they're quite passive, and there are SO many better hands which beat us and make sense looking at the line he's been taking.
88, 99, KK (9 combos) + KQ, AQ (7 combos) + JT (16 combos) = 32 against vs TT, JJ, AA, QJ, QT (25 combos) for us.
Most of the time these players are not aware of these ranges… So I assume he raises on flop and turn and shoves on river only with monsters.
The ability to fold trips here is the hardest but most heroic fold. I have done it. I have also not done it. I have called and won, but mostly lost. Never have I folded and learned later, going back the next day to hand history in Ignition, that folding was a mistake. Still, I call more often than I should. The way I try to think about it is: mathematically, the percentage of times Villain bluffs here does not justify ever calling. Still. The worst, The hardest. Yuck.
i fold in the river
