Daily Hand Quiz

What we said then…There are really only a few flush draws opp could have been on, so the flush isn’t a huge worry.

How about your pair? It seems likely that opp would 4 bet AK at least some of the time. The Ad hitting the board also helps to rule out some A combos that opp might have called flop with.

It seems like the most likely hand for opp to call both your three bet and your flop bet with is a pocket pair – maybe a baby one trying to get info, maybe a big one trying to trap. Regardless, you’re ahead of all of those pairs now (unless, of course, you’re facing a set).

The problem is that there’s a small chance of opp having a diamond, and a small chance of a diamond coming. Roughly speaking, there’s about a 15% chance of you losing to a pair with a diamond.

I think this is very close between checking to induce a bluff and leading to induce a hero call. I lean toward checking because you can probably get additional value on the river if opponent checks behind on the turn.

What actually happened: You checked and opp checked behind. The river came a black three and you both checked. Opp showed TT and you won the pot.

Deja vu? Check behind on the flop as this is a way ahead / behind situation. You want to shorten the hand if behind to ak (unlikely a tighty would call a 4 bet with that but we are seen as very aggressive here) and induce a bet on the turn or river from an underpair (most likely QQ – 10 10). I’m check calling this one down.

I vote check. At a passive table, you’ve been re-raised, then your 4-bet was called. There are only a few hands villain could have that would fit that mold. Of course, you have been very aggressive, so maybe his range opens up just a little. But after his call of your $77 bet, you’ve got to be facing a big hand. I’d say he’s holding AA-JJ, AK or maybe AQ. You’re only beating QQ and JJ, and if you are facing one of those hands, you aren’t going to win any extra money by betting. I’d say check-call this one all the way to the end, unless he shows some ridiculous strength on the turn and/or river. Then you’ll have to decide if you need to fold. Do NOT reraise a bet on the turn or river.

The staff comments are from yesterday – not about this hand.

You can either bet this and fold if raised or check behind and call down the turn and river. I like betting and folding if raised.

If you bet and get called and another diamond hits I think you can safely fold the river.

I check… there are many ace combos he could be holding…and not sure if the check is for trap or weakness…so lets see the turn.
I’d believe very likely the opp could be calling with a lower ppair like JJ or QQ… in that case he will be fearing our trap too…

Staff comments sound familiar. I opted to check … take a free turn, hope for another dim or baby. Don’t think villain has 2 dims. I’d check the turn as well and make a value bet on the riv.

Against a tight player you can rule out all his hands but:
AA,AK,QQ, may be KK.

If you check, the QQ is going to bet. it could be huge/small bet. Either way you have no idea what he has which means you could lose everything.

If you bet out 3/4 to take the pot and check all the way. Any raise should sent u bye bye.

I voted check for the same reasons listed by Richard P.

With regards to the QQ question, I would not have put in the 3rd raise preflop, opting to call the reraise of a tight opponent and see a flop.

If I did play it with the re-reraise to 77 and flated, I would check the flop.
