 What do you do?
So, I was at a big party this weekend that featured a lot of poker players. Towards the end of the night a few of us got to talking about strategy and such (ignoring the party going on around us) and this hand was posed by one of my friends - Quote:
$10/25 NLHE ring game. 10-handed
EP raises to $85. MP calls. You call with QJs in the cutoff. Button calls. Blinds fold.
$375 in the pot.
Flop is T98 and has a flush draw that doesn’t match your suit.
EP (preflop raiser) checks. MP checks.
What is your move and why? I emphasize the why in this scenario, because I can imagine about 5 lines one might take here and 4 of them have the same action on the flop. So, what line are you taking in this hand?

I had my initial response when looking at it, but after the group analysis, I started to see things differently. Curious to see what others think about it as well...
