1/2 NL. I'm up $450 and am getting ready to leave. Table has been fairly passive. I'm UTG, racking up my chips, and get dealt KT. I think to myself, "what the hell, might as well call two dollars and fold to a raise." UTG+2 raises to $8, six callers. I think to myself, "Aaa, its only six more dollars, plus its my last hand, might as well call."

Flop comes QJJ pot= $51. I notice that I have an open-ended straight flush draw. I lead out for $45. What better flop could I hope for, right? Action goes: Fold, Fold, Fold, villian in MP3 raises all-in to $180, fold, fold, hero?

Villian is fairly solid. He knows that I'm not betting this with air, but is well aware that I will bet my draws. I can safely rule out QQ, as he would likely three-bet it pf with the preceeding pf action. I figure that he will let me hang myself with QJ, which leaves hands like KJ, TJ, AJ or an A high flush draw. Am I missing anything?

Preflop i would raise or fold the first time. Open limping is bad especially with a RIO hand.

The pot should ~$60 otf so you may have done the math wrong.

As played you did flop a monster. I think you have the most fold equity by C/Raising big.

As played, call it off. You have so many outs, are getting better than 2 to 1, and are pretty much never drawing dead.

I agree that I sort of hosed myself by limping pf. On the flop, there were 7 people to the flop x $8 - $4 rake - $1 BB Jackpot= $51. I figured that I had less than 12 outs as any ace other than A of spades was not a clean out, the board could pair, or I may be drawing against an ace flush draw.

If your plan going into the hand was to play cautiously and not get in big trouble with this hand you probably shouldnt have bet the flop oop into a paired board with this many players involved. Most boats wouldnt shove here though ive seen it happen...anyhow you have a good amount of outs to draw to. His most likely holding is trip jacks obv. As played I'd call.

Didnt realize there was a bad beat jackpot. That makes it an instacall.

You're getting about 2:1 on a call (pot = $51 + $45 + $180 = $276, and it's $135 to call), with two outs to the stone nuts, 7 more flush outs, 4 more str8 outs, if he's not boated. If he's on a better flush draw, you lose your flush outs (except the 9s), and pick up six outs to pairs. Plus, if he has trips, some of your outs give him a boat. So, you have maybe 12 outs twice. This seems like a straightforward call to me.

Btw, Redsaddict, what's a RIO hand?

Might have missed out on the bbj.

Every time a flop like this comes off 3 or 4 regulars start murmuring about the BBJ. What a bunch of droooolers.

Seriously I think you are about 45% here. Gamble a little with your winnings, +EV considering P.O.s.

Agreed on c/r flop, as played its a supersnap call..and its not possible for him to be drawing dead...

Reverse Implied Odds. K-10 has RIO because it will give action and lose $ to so many hands that fit in a standard range. If you pair and get action, better kicker is likely. If you flop a SD, it always includes boards that make big hands for your opponents so not much fold equity either. On a Q-J board in a 8 way pot, someone is usually coming with you.

Glad you asked that. It was a good refresher typing it out.

Easy call. I like the check raise better on the flop since all the money's getting in anyhow. A CR might even get a hand like J10 to fold.
