PS $6.50 Turbo - QJ (and getting antsy?)

Results 1 to 2 of 2
  1. #1

    Default PS $6.50 Turbo - QJ (and getting antsy?)

    My VP$IP for this tourney was less than 10%. I wasn't getting any cards, so maybe I was just getting antsy here. Was it worth the raise in this situation, or did I not pick a good spot?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB (t885)
    BB (t1225)
    Hero (t1690)
    MP (t2005)
    CO (t5730)
    Button (t1965)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, J.
    Hero raises to t450, 1 fold, CO calls t450, 1 fold, SB calls t375, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t1500) K, 5, 8 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks.

    Turn: (t1500) 8 (3 players)
    SB bets t435 (All-In), Hero folds, CO calls t435.

    River: (t2370) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t2370

    Results in white below:
    SB has Qs 5s (two pair, eights and fives).
    CO has Ad Tc (one pair, eights).
    Outcome: SB wins t2370.

    Finding my game
    You only have 11BB left so a standard raise is almost a 3rd of your stack, you're in push/fold mode here. QJo on the other hand is a very mediocre hand and should be folded here anyway. At a loose table I would push 77+, AJ+ from UTG here.
