long time lurker and reader, looking for a little help understanding what mistakes I made here.

I feel like my bet on the flop was probably too big given that I had position.

Fold pre to the open and the 3bet

as played flop bet is def too big, but cant ever fold obv

why should he fold to the CO open (i do this myself a lot so i just wanna know if its straight up bad play)? i agree on folding to 3bet obviously

Id say it's a bad play vs the SB 3bet and a flat call... you should have some decent equity when you go into a pot... What range of hands can he put both these players on that he is ahead of? Guessing the SB in this case had AK but overall folding QJ to a 3bet should be the right way to play imo... As played getting it in is alright...

I'd call with QJs, but folding QJo, how often do you find yourself having toppair and a better kicker than villain when you do hit your Q or J? almost never.

Folding to the 3bet is obviously super standard and rly curious why you called.

i agreed that he should definitely fold to 3bet, was talking about flatting CO open

anyway thanks

isnt he capable of opening Q8s+ J9s+ from CO? (even tho we dont have stats here so its hard to tell obv)
