#1 18th March 2007, 1:08 AM

Hi guys, any advice on how to play royal cards on pre-flop??? for instance this hand actually happend, i had q j of diamonds and raised 250 preflop, someone rasied all in but he had been going all in ALOT with nothing, so i called. He had k 6 hearts flop comes k 6 3 spades turn 10 spades river 5 diamonds

what should i have done???

He did exactly what you said he did, went all in with nothing. Your mistake was calling his bet also with nothing. JQ suited is just a calling hand. You needed to wait till you got a premium hand to do something like that.

What was your position? Stack sizes? Blinds? etc. Need more information.

I was small blind had 2500 aprox. he had 4500 and the blinds were 10 and 20

OK, so you're in the sb and you know there is a good chance the BB will push you all in and he has you covered in chips. FOLD PRE FLOP. Wait for a better opportunity. Any ace, any king any pair has you beat, and even if he's bluffing you probably are only about a 60/40 favorite anyway. Suited QJ isn't a bad hand to see a flop with cheaply, it's not a hand to put all your chips in with unless short stacked which you weren't.

Next time leave off the results of the hand and provide more information, you will get more detailed advice. But I suspect the concensus would still be to fold.

hmm, i prefer to have A, K or any pocket pair, but i think QJ is not a great hand. But is very probably i´m wrong. I´m not good player.

ok to call off all your chips with q high suited is a rookie mistake however aggressive a player is u cant call down an all in with no cards it is just silly.

and snake had it down it is good advise.

pretty much what they said, queen high just isnt a hand you call a raise or even raise with unless you are stealing blinds. You probably arent even ahead, thats what a lot of people fail to realize,
