I'd say d. Call

It's been folded round to your Mid position and QTs is at least a pretty good drawing hand.

raise
QT is not a good hand but in poker it is not about the strenght of ur hand it is how strong ur opponents thing ur hand is
aggression wins the day

Only one player folded at that point you and five others still have to act.
What action could and would you expect from opponents at this point?

Every hand is unique, and no set of rules are etched in stone.

Open-limping is bad for a large number of reasons. If you are going to play a drawing hand, you really want to raise with it here. That way, even if you brick the flop you can take it down with a continuation bet.

But let's say you open-limp or make a small raise and get callers. Then what? You are playing a drawing hand out of position. This is a bad situation to be in, even if you make a real draw from the flop. So even if you hit, you are in a bad situation.

If you play this hand, you must be aggressive and raise as if you have something much better, using the possibility of QTs turning into something as essentially a backup to your aggression.

Folding is best, raising is acceptable, calling is not an option.

Also, because blinds are 200/400 and we only have 3500...
Fold is the other option, but we really don't want to go through the blinds and have 2900.

Yeah this is either a directly fold or a push n pray.

80% fold 20% pp

raise you dont know where u stand, could be easily beaten you will extract no info except "beaten".

If you call you could get more limpers, + someone could raise, you gunna just flat call a raise or reraise with q10 lol?

its pretty easy to see the options

Oncec I paid closer attention to the blinds, yeah, I realize you guys are right. Raise is not an option. If you are playing it (which I wouldn't most of the time) you are pushing.

Tournament play>me.

Raise. The only time I limp in is if I'm sitting late with little action, and QT is too decent to fold in that seat.

Fold....depending on the table if blinds are that high maybe youve seen some characteristics......maybe a raise to take some blinds from a tight plyer in SB or BB....other than def. fold!

lol, because it is only beaten by any pocket pair, any ace any king and q,j. It sounds way to decent. I push all in needing to pick up the blinds which are worth 20% of our stack. So we shove to pick them up and look to get lucky if called.
