This hand came up during my HH swap, and Ericishungry thought I should post it. I think a lot of people are gonna say raise or fold PF, but lately I've been sorta experimenting with cold calling raises from superdonks in position. QJs plays well multiway as we all know, and I don't think its all that bad against a superdonk. So if the blinds call, whatever, if they fold, fine. The raiser is 15 PFR so I'm not super terrified of his range.

Post flop is really the important part of this hand though. I played it pretty much to try to get to showdown cheap, knowing that there's a good chance I'm ahead the whole way. Anyway, what do people think?

this hand is 100% standard for me.

pf, i'm not folding QJs

flop, it's HU, i have a pair

turn, i have pair + oesd

river, i have two pair in a big pot, i beat K4, i call

As a default I 3bet PF, but CCing can't be too bad considering the fish in the blinds.

Post flop is perfect IMO

crap, i thought the hero was in the sb


i hate pf

if you are going to play, you are better off 3betting pf.

post flop is fine as played, but 3bet pf
