1.) You're on the button with 10d - 10h. The pot is raised 3x the big blind in front of you. You are short stacked with 10x the big blind in chips. You should:
A. Muck your cards
B. Call the raise
C. Double the raise
D. Push all - in
2.) You're heads-up in a tournament. You have 4x as many chips as your opponent in the big blind. Your opponent limps in and you look down at Ad - Ah. You should:
A. Check your option
B. Make a large raise
C. Make a callable raise
3.) In a 7-player game, everyone folds to you in the small blind. You look down at Js - 10s & raise 3x the big blind. The big blind calls quickly & the flop comes 9h - 8s - As. You bet 9x the big blind and your opponent comes over-the-top, all-in. The call would require an additional 12x the big blind in chips on your part.
The call is the smart play. TRUE or FALSE?
Answers will be posted later today.

1. I'd say either A or D, but because you're short stacked I'd go D. Chances are it's a race situation, but I'm willing to take the shot. With a 3x BB raise, he might also have 99/88.
2. C, and hope he reraises.
D. True, pot odds.
1 it kinda depends were raise comes from u dont give enough information but most time i would say push all in
2.i would make a callable raise
3.false theres 27bbs in pot in cost u 12 to call thats about 2.25/1 on ur call and we can suspect were about a 3/1 underdog
1 All in is the only choice. (D)
2. a and C both work. But here I like trapping due to your huge chip lead. Hope the hit top pair and move all in.. (A)
3 15 outs twice. Pot oddssay call. I would call myself. (true) Though if this is ring or MTT not sure. Ring game would be an absolute call everytime and reload if you have to.
2. mmmmm I would make a callable raise and hope he/she calls or reraise
3. Can't say, cause I dont' like this hand and would play it always slow
q1) D
q2) check and play it very slowly
q3) you have the stright flush draw so you say that the 9 flush cards to help you the 4 queens and 4 sevens so that gives you 17 outs.
so you then try and put him on a hand so what would he call with preflop and then push on the flop say a8 a9 so that takes away the 1 of the other 9s away from what you can hit to win. so leaves 16 that equals 64% atmost so true call
if the tounry just started id push all-in because of the short stack.
2) i would chose C of course. cause that´s how i play A-A.
3)well you hvae plenty of outs and i would go for it=) and TRUE.
2.) C. Pocket Aces is a monster hand at any time, never mind heads up. The goal here is to keep your opponent involved whilst making it easier for you to get a read on his two cards. You don't want to force him out, but then again, you don't want him to see a flop for free.
3.) TRUE. You are 4-to-the-flush and have an inside-out straight draw. In all, you have 15 outs. You will therefore make your hand 1 out of 3 times. The pot total is 36x the big blind and you need to call 12x the big blind. The money and odds are right for you to make the call.
1. Your short stack and you gfot a pair. Only one move to me in that situation. (D)
2. Well A doesnt look bad but I would never check in HU play. To me its either raise or fold. Also you dont want to bet so big that the rockets dont get you some chips back. (C)
3. you have 9 outs with the flush, and 6 outs with a possible straight (dont count the Q and 7 of spades twice like cj mistakenly did), All in with about a 60% chance to hit (4 and 2 rule) on the turn/river makes this an automatic call. TRUE
A
C
TRUE
lmao did i just say A for #1 lmao
D
1- Allin, DUH!
2- C, Slowplay will end in tears!
3- True, If ur lucky he doesnt have an ace, then your ahead. Otherwise it (prob, unless he has a set) a 65-35% or better
