Hero has moved seats twice tonigt. The first time I moved was to get a better relative position to the active player at the table who would raise almost every hand preflop with weak holdings. I doubled up through him when I limped in with AJsooted, he raised to $20 as predicated and I 3bet to $90 with $110 behind, I am way ahead of his raising range here plus there was a few callers of the $20 which created a lot of dead money. I flopped TP and shoved the rest in and he called with A2. He left 1 orbit later.
I then moved seats again so that I would have absoulte position on the 3 players to my immediate left. I have been watching them all night and they were unlikely to raise with less than AQ+, TT. This give me the opportunity to open my range on the BTN, CO and HJ seats to hands like K9s, Q9s, J8s, T7o/s, PP, SCs, QTos-54os, KTos as I would only have to call 1 bet to see the flop as I figured the players to my left wouldnt raise light. The table made fun of me moving again but I put it down to card dead-ness at the seat (lol) and I wanted to change my luck..........yep it was luck.
I got into a cheap pot on the BTN with 65o/s, the flop was A-5-5 and I got another $200 stack from a player holding AQ who rivered an Q which sunk him I guess. I have about $550 in front of me when this hand happens....
Hero: BB $550
EP: $300
MP: $300
CO: $250
BTN: $150
SB: $270
Preflop: Hero is dealt Q
T
5 Players limp in, Hero checks.
Flop: KA
6
($12) 6 Players
SB checks, Hero checks, EP bets $10, MP calls, CO calls, BTN folds, SB calls, Hero calls.
My reason for calling was that I was getting 5:1 on my call, closing the action, my hand is hidden, I can easily get away if I hit a pair like a Queen. My implied odds are huge if I do happen to get lucky.
Turn: 9 ($62) 5 Players
SB checks, Hero checks, EP bets $45, MP calls, CO folds, SB folds, Hero.....
So I am not getting the direct odds to call anymore, but I figure there is a great chance to stack both players if an off suit Jack lands and even get a big chunk if another club happens to hit river. EP hand is pretty much face up at this point, like AQ or AK. MP not sure maybe worse Aces or even just some random kings looking to hit two pair or trips. I dont think EP will fold an hand like AQ/AK here if I do want to make a move.

Why do you put EP on AQ+? I thought you said he would raise that hand.
You are getting 3.5-1 to call the $45. 4j's and 8 other clubs mean 12 outs, or pretty much 3-1 to make your hand.
Would your flush be good though, i.e. would CO call with Ax? Sure. Would he call such a big bet with only a weak ace? Doubt it.
I don't like the shove because you don't have fold equity esp. against the CO.
I think this is borderline, but likely a call.

The A and 6 might be tainted and ur drawing to the 2nd not flush, although it is unlikely someone else is drawing to the nuts, A6 does make sense (as does AJ.) U should discount some outs and also factor in that ur OOP. If u don't think they both fold (which it sounds like u don't) then raising is spew.
If u call and hit do u lead (and for how much) or do u check? (I think u have to lead if it's a club.)
