utg + 1 makes it 6, don't know much about this player. SB calls and I am in the bb and call. Is this a fold for you guys given pretty good odds pf? I ended up calling because me and utg are both 350$ deep but considered tossing it since I was oop and wish I did. Ended up getting stacked vs his A flush with the KS out there, pretty sick. Was just wondering if this just should have been mucked pf. Also if you told in bb do you call on button?

I feel like I rarely make any big mistakes post flop but pf it seems like I might be leaking money by calling when I shouldn't and not being as tight as I prob should be, for example limping suited connectors and big gappers too often or perhaps calling with them where maybe I should fold. I kinda find myself not knowing what to do alot in spots like that

Easy fold pre. Q8s just won't flop a good hand very often and many of the good hands you can flop are dangerous. One pair is usually not the best hand if anybody is willing to play with you. Flopping draws OOP doesn't play well and you won't flop many good draws anyways. Q8s isn't worth paying one in a limped pot out of the SB, let along calling a raise.

Depending on opponents raising from the button might be OK for lagging it up against limpers but never flat calling. Flat call with hands that can flop better.

Players in already would have to be pretty bad. Line for me is deep and getting 5-1 on my call. Even then this hand is barely a call and I'm not committing a lot of chips without the 2nd nuts or better. Mostly I'm calling to not look like a super nit.

Depending on the skill of the opener, I might squeeze here. You would look strong, your hand would be disguised, and you would hit a decent amount of flops. And you both are deep enough to bet multiple streets.

Kind of contradicting yourself here.

I would fold this pre-flop from bb unless I was VERY familiar with OR and SB, but usually just folding regardless.
