If you're in the BB (says CO in the hand) I think this is a fold or 3bet pre flop, can't see a calling being EV here without any strong reads.

I think your river range is correct, never expecting a pot size river shove to be anything less than a set, would not be surprised to see T9 here.

I fold because:

1. I never expect them to shove a bluff given your post flop line
2. I never expect them to shove worse for value

I fold preflop here from both BB and CO.

Wouldn't be better just call the turn to keep his bad hands in? they also can do lot of check-calls OTR if they decide to slow down.

Thanks for your opinions.

QJo is a fold from both CO and BB.Not even good enough to use as a 3 bet bluff unless you have some insanely tight guy who folds 90% over a decent sample.

I agree that this is most certainly a fold pre. As for the post flop play I don't see a good reason to raise the turn vs. UTG open raiser and I don't think you're ahead anymore once he shoves the river into you.

I think calling the turn is best here. Keep in his bluffs and let him VB light. We also need strong hands in our calling range here since when calling the turn if you raise all QJ+ we wont be able to call any rivers.
