    If you want to raise QJo then go for it but raise it like its a real hand and hope to take an easy pot down on the flop. If they start playing back, you need to know when your beaten.

    The preflop cold call of mikey's reraise isn't as bad because it is shorthanded and you can just hope to outflop him. The problem is when you don't know what you're up against on the flop. I don't see any reason to continue with the hand on the flop. Tommy's bet looks like it was intentionally weak and dying for a raise so that he could reraise. Cold calling another $7 in this situation is a leak against anybody. What are you beating? What are you planning on doing on the turn? The best you can hope for is a blank on the turn so you can fold without getting trapped.

    I can see him showing AQ, KQ, 22, 55, Q5, and Q2 if hes playing 85% of his hands. Those all beat you by the way. The fact that he plays any two does make the river call a bit easier in case hes just an idiot with QT or lower. The problem is that you're at the river in the first place. This is a tough situation and even if he slowplayed AA or KK, your still only beating AA.

    Fold the flop and move on to easier meat. Dont play against another 200+BB stack for your whole stack with a marginal hand. Turns like that second queen are how people get trapped and stacked.
