Hello,

I flopped top 2 + an OESD to the nuts. Cbetting is probably fine here; once I get raised he must be on sets/same 2 pair or wraps. What do you think? Have I flopped enough equity for stackoff?

SB: $25 (100 bb)
BB: $40.30 (161.2 bb)
Hero (UTG): $25.77 (103.1 bb)
MP: $13.52 (54.1 bb)
CO: $44.23 (176.9 bb)
BTN: $32.97 (131.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T J Q K
Hero raises to $0.85, MP calls $0.85, CO calls $0.85, 2 folds, BB calls $0.60

Flop: ($3.50) Q 2 K (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.90, MP raises to $12.20, 2 folds, Hero raises to $21.50, MP calls $0.47 and is all-in

Hi,

since it's a rainbow hand you should prob fold pre. As for postflop you need around 35% to make a correct stackoff, so you definetly have that with your hand. You block the 2 sets which is nice, although KK and QQ will still be a big part of the range of your opponent. However he should have enough weaker KQ and draws that this is indeed a very profitable stackoff. It would get trickier if your were 100+ deep and a passive player raised.

Are you sure? This hand is rainbow but it is still a pretty strong rundown.
We can hit pretty strong wraps, can we? We definitly have some nut potential.

Would you open the hand pre if it have at least 1 suite? And if so should it be the K? Would be the J to low as highest suite?

Everytime you open a hand from UTG you should be prepared to play multiway pot (especially at micros). Bare rainbow rundown is not that good multiway and oop. If all opponents are more of a passive and call-happy, open is fine. If there are more aggressive and goodish players, just fold.

Yes i'm sure :) That's not to say it's never an open or that i never do it, but the fact of the matter is that our hand goes down in value as soon as the board is at least ss (which is more than 1/2 the time), and on all those boards our wraps loose a lot of it's strenght since they are dominated by flushdraw hands. With a single suited it's an obvious snap open
