have some problems with this spotvs an unknown villain. do you fold this hand pre? think we ll often win small pots when ahead and lose big ones when behind.
made a nitty fold post because i think villan doesnt bluff much in this spot with this sizing. maybe the fold is to weak.
what do you think?
fold pre? squeeze?
call flop call turn fold river? or eaven calldown if QJ and the BDFD misses?
thanks a lot

Hi Shal,

It's definitely not easy playing a hand like this 4-way, OOP and caught between guys. I think squeezing to attack the money has a lot more merit and could take the pot down now or at least give us initiative.

As played you pretty much flopped TP and can't seem to be able to continue (due to your plan) so definitely not investing money pre seems much better.

Because we called pre/flop I think we should call turn as well, especially vs these bet sizes where he can even bet worse.

Hi Bogdan,

How about semi-bluff raising 2.5x turn? If CO is a reg, I think he will almost surely fold his better pairs, and continue mostly 2 pair+ and QJ. QJ will almost surely call vs 2.5x raise, so it can be if my assumption about villians defend range is correct, that raising KJo is in fact pure value raise.
Especially if we consider his bet size on turn, I think we can discard especially TT and 22.
I know that by raising hero would rep mostly 22, and just maybe KTs, but still it imo doesnt matter because it is 4way, and regs will not care too much about it but play straight forward.

That's definitely an option and he can also have some rare BFDs that can call aside from QJ.
