You decide to steal the blinds with J9 off-suit from the button at a tight table, after seeing everyone fold to you. Your plan is foiled when the small blind reraises and the big blind folds.

You call, of course, and the flop is 2 7 8. The small blind bets and you call.

On the 4 turn, the small blind bets again and you try to semi-bluff him with a raise. The raise is called, though.

The river card is the 3 and the small blind bets again. You have a strong feeling that your flush is the best hand - in fact, you're 55 % sure of it. Should that make you raise?





No, call (correct)
Absolutely correct! You think you're winning, but the 55 % chance you give yourself doesn't motivate raising. You'll only get called by the hands that you lose against. Very good.

If you got all corrects throughout these five days, I'm impressed. If you got 3-4, that's still very good. Anything under that and you might, no offense intended, want to read some more poker strategy.
