Daily Hand Quiz


Game type: No Limit tournament
Your image: Tight and aggressive
Stage of tourney: Moving toward the middle, 300 players remain out of 500
Avg stack: 4700
Misc notes:
Your hand: J♦8♦

Preflop, Players A and B fold, Player C limps, Player D folds, Player E limps, Player F folds, you limp and the blinds call and check, putting the pot at 900. The flop hits with good news and bad news:

T♦J♠5♣

You get the pair you weren’t looking for and none of the draws you wanted. The blinds check and Player C bets under half pot at 413. Player E folds and you flat call. The blinds fold, and the turn brings about the safest card in the deck – 2♣.

Player C checks to you. With 1826 in the pot and holding top pair with a weakish kicker, what’s your play?

I’m with you here at a Medium bet, but I’m thinking the low end — 500 — just more than 10% of my money . If I get a raise here I’m out, and without a significant improvement to my hand on the river, I’m folding to a bet, and checking it down.

Check, smells like a trap. Don’t know why you’re in this hand to start with.
