Okay He's raised UTG... You can tighten his range up here 88+ ... Soon as that board came out he's checking which means not even a continuation bet. You called him and not 3bet. He instantly would be worried about that board since he's checking for information in this position. A lot of people don't fold KK at this level no matter the board.

He didn't c-bet which was strange and you didn't bet the turn which was even more bizzare. Looks like you both expected slow play...... River is a fold I believe due to the preflop raise. but the price isn't costly but theres nothing there you can beat. He's not trying to scare you off with that river size bet. Only thing you could beat is with air.


Often action UTG with QJ your folding preflop as well since you'll be dominated a lot of the times and be put in bad spots.

Say you 3bet the guy and the button calls as well... the flop will be 54cents. Raise around 30.
Tbh at this point in time if you shutdown here your risking the same amount of money but would've made more money if you had hit another q or j.

I'd just let the flop check through. I can't expect him to call less than AQ in this spot.

That said, honestly just fold this pre. His UTG raising range has to be like 8%, and most of it dominates you. If you wanna be flatting QJo IP vs early raises play 6max.
