QJo in the BB, Q high flop ($27)

No reads on opp. Preflop call might be a little loose but I figured BvB...anyway, what do you do after opp leads? Flop check is standard on this dry board I think. After he bets, call and see if he fires again (and keep the pot small) or raise and snap off his c-bet?

What's the plan if you raise him and he reraises? Are you prepared to go broke? If not I would probably call and try to keep the pot small.

We know you called, let's see the turn action now.

Actually I didn't, I raised it up to 330 (which was most probably a mistake) and he shoved over. Your action?

Wow, I'd have def called. Raising is bad unless you plan to call his shove, and I don't want to do that.

Yeah, situations where I'm relatively deep stacked are most definitely not my strong suit and I need to improve. Probably one of the blind spots that I have developed from all those turbo SNGs that I've played.

FWIW I fold this preflop due to the incredibly high amount of insanely ridiculous situations playing QJ OOP without the intiative creates. I think if you do decide to play it 3 betting would be better.

This is an easy c/c for me. I am totally not prepared to stack off here as villains stack off range is miles ahead of us. Play a turn cheaply for sure and Check/decide river.
