wow what a hand! very interesting set up. way to charge the flush draw. Too bad his flush draw was already the nut straight to split. You literally got it in with the nuts and couldn't win.

crazy

Yep... Wish I wasnt UTG cos I woulda definately taken a stab at it on the flop, and it probably woulda been the end of that lol
Sweet hand though.

that's why playing a hand like QJ UTG can be tricky

but on the other hand, when you are 5 handed QJ is actually more often than not the best starting hand

but when you limp it you invite other limps and if 4 other hands see the flop you're barely best more than 1/4th the time.

but if you raise it a big percent of your stack is at risk

but hey then you could possibly actually take it down. And if you do get called you can have a better idea of what your opponent has.

but who knows what could happen on the flop.

I guess refer back to original statement of tricky spot UTG
