This might be too simple of a question. Do we just put him in since he's pretty committed and will call with weaker pairs? The minraise pre is messing with my head.

Merge, $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (UTG): $8.47 (211.8 bb)
MP: $3.64 (91 bb)
CO: $2.12 (53 bb)
BTN: $9.64 (241 bb)
SB: $8.48 (212 bb)
BB: $5.08 (127 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q

Hero raises to $0.12, MP folds, CO raises to $0.24, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.12

Flop: ($0.54) 4

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.35, Hero calls $0.35

Turn: ($1.24) 3

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.65, Hero ??

From his perspective you've check-called twice and so your line looks pretty weak here. If I were you I'd probably have check-raised the flop to see if I can take the pot down immediately.

I think the real problem here is that you're raising with QJs under the gun, which means you've got to play the flop out of position with a hand that's easily dominated.

Oh, wait, it's 6-max. A raise is fine UTG... Although it's still at the bottom end of your range.

Call and decide on the river based on sizing, draws missing, etc. Raising would be pretty bad I think.

i would probably fold pre since 3Bet and OOP with a hand which is hard to play.Bet the flop and probably fold c/f turn, since Opponent Hands looks very strong.

I think we can call the low 3bet with QJsuited and be profitable... our hand can really crush villains 3betting range when we hit

Villain has less than a half pot bet otr, you would contemplate folding some rivers?

Didn't notice how short he was earlier. No, not if I called the turn. Well I'd fold an A or K no matter what.
