2013: Make or break

Griffey, can you explain QJs hand?

I get that you are flatting strong hands and they know you rarely 3-bet and that you're only risking $137 to win $150ish when both are out of line very often.

The problem to me seems to be that you'll have better hands to bluff with. QJ is blocking what would seem to be a huge part of these guys' 3-4-bet/fold range (JJ,KJ, KQ, AQ). Since we have so much equity with this hand vs. CO's open range and BB's squeezing range, wouldn't it serve us better to put it in our BTN 3-bet range?

Yah I'm making a move here definitely due to the blockers.

As for 3b QJs, I think it's a strong hand to keep in our flatting range here. If PFR had folded I probably would have just called the squeeze IP, so it's not like I'm folding after I get squeezed.

It could be ok to 3b once in a while though.
