UTG+2: t1590 39.75 BBs
MP1: t1215 30.38 BBs
MP2: t1635 40.88 BBs
Hero (CO): t1620 40.50 BBs

BB: t1500 37.50 BBs
UTG: t1500 37.50 BBs
UTG+1: t1500 37.50 BBs

Pre Flop: (t60) Hero is CO with J :spade: Q :spade:
3 folds, MP1 calls t40, 1 fold, Hero calls t40, BTN calls t40, 1 fold, BB checks

Flop: (t180) 8 :club: 8 :spade: 9 :spade: (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets t40, Hero calls t40, BTN raises to t240, BB folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls t200

Turn: (t700) 2 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets t120, Hero calls t120

River: (t940) 7 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Is it better to raise the original bettor on the flop? After just calling and getting raised is there any point going all in? I thought not, beacuse we never getting an 8 to fold plus we might be drawing dead..

After the flop call I like your play.
But I think you should have raised the original bet, and then possibly even consider calling if BTN pushes.
Depends a lot on the button. After this raise he does, I don't think he has the nutflushdraw, or any flushdraw actually (except for 67), because unknown would most likely call with Axs FD.

Don't you think it worth isolating preflop?

Not sure. We've got a specultaive hand which flops well. I would isolate with AT+, KJ+, 99+ though. Maybe 88 and A9 as well

I think you have to fold pre after BU reraises. I'd do everything else the same way.

I dont like playing this hand ..but I guess I am wrong. I would fold pre.

As played I would of done the same thing. What is tricky about this is that you might be drawing dead to A or K high flush.(Which is why I don't like to play QJs)


pre is fine,

flop is fine getting correct odds after the raise. same on turn.
