    Default Kinda new to SH, weak/good fold?

    5-max, I have position on an unknown. Preflop good? Flop good?

    PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($44.60)
    SB ($54.00)
    BB ($277.20)
    UTG ($107.25)
    Hero ($93.00)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K, A.
    UTG raises to $5, Hero raises to $15, 3 folds, UTG calls $10.

    Flop: ($31.50) 6, A, Q (2 players)
    UTG bets $10, Hero bets $35, UTG bets $92.25 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Without a read I fold this every day. A weak flop lead followed by a 3bet here is often a monster. You will be up against AQ/QQ or even AA pretty often here.

    I wouldn't raise the flop here personally.

    I thought so to, but then, If I call the $10 and then face a 2/3-pot bet on the turn, what do I know and when do I let the hand go? Playing TPTK (and re-raising) has been the hardest part in learning shorthanded I think.

    i would have raised to 25 prob. I am not worried about giving him a cheap card on this flop.

    And i would write it off as "well thats what I would have bet if checked to anyway, so no big deal"

    And yes I would have folded to the 3bet.
