reads on villain? makes flop pretty different imo

calling turn seems kinda bad regardless

I'd probably fold flop. We're OOP with what has become a marginal hand against a raise from a random opponent. QQ is usually behind here.

Turn card should make decision very easy. Unless our opponent has 87o exactly, there's not a hand in his range that we now beat. Just look for a better spot.

either b/f or c/c flop. the cbet on Kxx usually has a pretty high success rate + you block alot of FD combos.

turn is an easy fold

and i'd rather make it 80 pre than 50 in a $2 for obv reasons

I would prefer a c/c on this flop. Even if we get called by worse betting here almost forces us to give the hand up on future streets (unless ofcourse we know villain is passiv in which case i would prefer a cbet).
Turn is very bad for us and regardless wether we have c/c'd or b/c'd flop I am always folding this oop (even though villains line looks very bluffy and we have a Q-high FD...).
