I would check and see te action

I think we should fold pre although I don't know if I could do it either.

Checking is tempting but if UTG bets and someone raises, you can't really give them credit for AQ+. Plus you may end up trapped if UTG flopped something. Or what if it checks to the BU and he bets? You can't fold, but raising or calling both kida suck.

I would rather lead 150. If you get raised I think folding is good with no reads. If you get called you can mostly assume worse Qxs or 77-JJ/draw and go from there.

Bad spot either way, and given this is a great flop for us takes me back to folding pre.

[TLR]

It is a decent but not great flop, if someone bets and another raises you can easily fold, if only the button bets you can raise since you probably have the best hand.

[drmcboy]

if this isn't a great flop then it's a clear fold pre, you can't call trying to make two pair. Even flopping JT isn't that great because 4 way you won't have much FE.

How about if UTG bets and someone calls? Are you raising, calling? Turn plan if you call?

Do you expect button to call a CR with QJ? What is the goal when you raise him?

[TLR]

I prefer to flop JT x then Qxx here. The fact that we are OOP makes this hand very complicated, if there is a bet and a call I think I call/fold based on bet sizing, the problem is that original raiser has a lot of hands that have us in bad shape (AA, KK, QQ, AQ) and if someone calls then set is definitly in its range

I almost always check there close to 100%
