Heads-up flop decision
2008-08-05

You're playing a fairly good opponent in an heads-up sit & go. Halfway through the first level, you get K 5. Your opponent raises pot to 60 - as usual - and you call.

The flop is Q T 9. You check and your opponent bets 80. What should you do?





Fold
Folding or calling is out of the question here - you have an over card, a good flush draw, and a gutshot straight draw. Perfect for semi-bluffing! :)

If your opponent is empty, you'll get the pot directly, and you certainly wouldn't mind that. If he does have a hand, you likely have good odds as well as great implied odds. Raise pot.
