Poker Stars $2/$4 Limit 5 Card Draw - 6 players
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

Pre Draw: ($3) Hero is BB with A♠ A♥ Q♥ 8♦ 6♦
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, BTN folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls

First Draw: ($12) (2 players)
SB draws 3, Hero draws 3
Hand: A♠ A♥ K♠ K♦ J♥
SB bets, Hero calls

Final Pot: $20
SB shows Q♦ Q♠ 8♣ 5♦ 5♠ (two pair, Queens and Fives)
Hero shows A♠ A♥ K♠ K♦ J♥ (two pair, Aces and Kings)
Hero wins $19
(Rake: $1.00)

I think there's a good argument for both here, very little info on the SB, just a matter of personal preference or is there a definite +ev line to take here against an unknown player. (If I were to raise and get 3-bet I'd be folding (against most players))

Raise fold would be my line here.

You are Blind vs Blind so play is a bit more aggressive.

Also players at 2/4 tend to be way too SD bound.

Also do consider what would be the minimum hand to call here. For me vs unknown that would be close to the pat hand for trips 666 or 777.

I think you make a good point, but its also worth considering if he can call a raise with worse? Maybe he can with queens up but as he's probably playing bet/fold or bet/raise himself I still think there's a good case for just flatting, mainly as I have no info on the guy

(what is SD bound please?)

I see, this does make a better case for raising then.
