Open QJo UTG at 60bb, use a small c-bet on T92ss multiway, and once SB jams turn after we hit top pair, we’re committed and should call.

Flop Analysis

Four-way on T92 with two spades, we have a strong range advantage and a hand that can improve in many ways (straight, flush, two pair). Solver prefers a small c-bet around one-third of the pot with this combo; our 7.7BB into 11BB is a bit larger than ideal but still reasonable multiway.

Turn Analysis

Turn Qh gives us top pair with a strong kicker and a redraw to a straight. SB now shoves 49.9BB into 76.3BB, so we’re getting about 1.5:1 and need roughly 40% equity. Multiway, SB’s range is heavily weighted to strong made hands and big draws, so our equity is closer to 30–35% than the 40% required. Solver prefers a mix of call and raise with this combo, but heads-up vs a shove, folding is the higher-EV option.

Note: Calling the turn shove with top pair and a redraw versus a very strong SB range is too loose; folding is preferred.
