9 handed LHE loose/passive 4/8 game. So far not much pre-flop aggression.
UTG is bitching about only being allowed to be served 3 beers in an hour. He raises.
His friend in UTG+1 smiles and 3-bets. My read is he's either screwing around or wants us to think he's screwing around.
Folded to the SB, wonderful loose passive player that calls a lot, but is capable of folding post-flop to extreme aggression by more than one player. Plays over half his hands, suited trash, connected trash, face cards, etc. He calls.
You have   in the Big Blind. Your action?
I think it's close no matter what you do, but I'll hear what others think before I say what I did and why. |

| fold and avoid the confusing situation. obviously you (or whoever) is better than these players and will have an opportunity to cash in, so no need to get involved in this hand. |

hmmmm....i think QJs is a mucking hand against 2 cold. it really is a gamble though given your read.
if i just sat down i'd fold. but if this was near the end and i'm already up 50BB than what the hell i'll cap it. |

I would probably fold but if I felt they were weak players raise.
Is a QJs usually worth a 3-bet from the BB?

These guys don't fold to re-raises of any sort once they've limped or called.
Cap or fold.. Fold just to stay out of the hand, or cap it based on the fact that you have the possiblity to run up a HUGE pot.
I say have some fun and cap it  you hit your flop your going to get paid off huge in this hand. |

| Cap it and give yourself nice pot odds for a flush draw on the flop and potentially flush out stronger hands. |
