A series of questions to test just how
much you know about playing poker. Read the
question, decide what you would do and then click on
the question to reveal the
answer.
1.
In the middle stages of a tournament you're dealt A-K and raise in middle
position to 3.5 big blinds, and get called by the small blind. The flop
comes A, 10, 4, he checks and you bet two thirds of the pot. He re-raises.
You both have 10-20 big blinds and you know nothing about your opponent.
Do you:
a)Fold b)Call c)(Re)Raise
d) Go all-in?
d) Go all-in. You've hit a top pair with the top kicker, but your
opponent doesn't know this and may be semi-bluffing or have a worse Ace.
If he has A-10 or 4-4, good luck to him; you're seeing this one out.
2. In a deep-stacked
cash game with blinds of $5-$10, you pick up 4-4 in late position and call
a small raise after two other callers. The flop comes 4, 6, 10, the raiser
bets, one player calls and so do you. The turn is another 10 and the
action is repeated. the river is a Queen, the first players checks and the
second player makes a substantial bet. You all have ample funds left. Do
you:
a)Fold b)Call c)(Re)Raise
d)Go all-in?
b)Call. You have a strong hand, but it's hardly unbeatable, and one
of your opponents could have flopped a bigger set than you or held Q-Q
and improved at the very end. By calling, you freeze the first player's
action and give yourself the option of getting away without doing your
whole stack if the first player now re-raises.
