    Default QQ @ 5nl FR with FE FTW?

    No reads on villain. I didn't 3 bet cause I tend to give full stacks more credit when raising UTG. Flop isn't horrible but it does smack an UTG raisers range. But I am not dead here either with a straight flush draw.

    I think people can drop AX (Though he has ATs, AJs, AQ, AK, not too many other Ax combos, and few 5nlers drop two pairs.. hmm this seems like a bad time to go for fold equity?) here and maybe two pair and I have decent equity, so I think I am fine doing a raise here. Though, I suspect I would be better off doing this raise on flop rather than turn.

    At @5nl, I rarely raise my flush draws, because It takes a very special hand and very special opponent, this time I had a special hand, but the opponent is unknown. Maybe, I just fall in love with Straight flush draws.

    One of the reasons I prefer to raise on turn vs flop is because there is more dead money in the flop and a lot of poeple slow play nut flushes so it may get more respect, plus if he has a flush draw with a pair he is less likely to play it since there is only one card that can complete it now vs two on the flop.......

    I always find these to be tough spots. I just can't get the "Holly shit I have 80% of the ingredients now lets put it in the oven baby!" Forgetting I only have what like 2% chance of the Kh coming. But if you don't play em you'll never get the big one!

    What was your plan when you raised? Looks like you are totally committed since over 50% of your stack is out there now. I wouldn't think you had much FE. I like the ranges you have him on although I have a hard time dropping Ax @ 5nl.

    My plan due to stack sizes was to commit if he raised back. Check back blank river. But, im sure even u don't raise A7s UTG right
