TPGK facing raise. 6max $3,50

PokerStars - $3.19+$0.31|15/30 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

UTG: 2,770.00
CO: 1,310.00
BTN: 1,530.00
Hero (SB): 960.00
BB: 2,430.00

Hero posts SB 15.00, BB posts BB 30.00

Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has K Q

UTG calls 30.00, CO calls 30.00, BTN calls 30.00, Hero calls 15.00, BB checks

Flop: (150.00, 5 players) Q T 5
Hero bets 150.00, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 1,500.00 and is all-in, Hero ??

Can I call here? He is Raising in a multiway pot, but what hands can he have here that are beating me? QQ and TT probably would have raised, AQ too. The only hands likely are 55 and QT. He was 14/14 over 29 hands.

Re: TPGK facing raise. 6max $3,50

Yea this is weird... QT/55 obv are what he's repping but why make SUCH a big raise with those hands on a pretty dry flop in position?

I'd bet less than pot to get a little bit of action from some weaker crap. I'd probably level myself into calling here due to the buyin level + weirdness of overbet jam on dry board, but i won't blame you if you fold.

Snap call imo

Bet less on he flop, also consider going for a check/raise cause someone will bet this board a huge percent of the time.

By betting 150 you give your opponents too much information unless they really stink. Don't give them excuse to fold some random crap QsXs, JT, etc

Re: TPGK facing raise. 6max $3,50

Same reasons Braminc stated pretty much. Yes we did make a really strong lead on a QT board into 4 people, but how many people really just shove it in with QT/55 (Q5s? lol) here esp on a rainbow flop. I expect to see worse top pairs, open enders, etc at the $3 level.

Like Braminc said though wouldn't give you **** for folding
