I love this question! I did the same thing as alot of other people and tried to "guess what they want." Then I changed my mind and said "really now, what would I do." It worked! If I was sitting at a table playing the highest stakes I could afford, I would fold that hand quicker than the dealer could turn his face towards me.

shouldnt they be the same if your a good player?

yes it is a crap hand, but when playing limit the rule is to play tight, and bluffing hadly ever works. A fold is obvious but past answers have not been the best response in my mind so... like every one else I have started answering the quiz with what I am thinking railbirds wants. This time I got fooled.

I think it's a pretty bad question. You need some context to make a correct decision in that situation.

yeah folding is what you do here.. its the same thing as having pocket aces... just fold...

Nothing really needed here. Horrible hand in a fixed limit game. Much harder to steal a pot in fixed limit with a raise and on top of that if you get called you're probably looking for a miracle flop.

I guess I didn't pay attention to the full question. Thought it was a tourney not a limit table. But on the other hand. 3 to the flop tops and if I haven't had a hand in a while I might play this. If its a bad flop I'm out. Heck the two in the blinds might be just as bad or worse. I could of just lost out on the two hands when I was in the blinds. Guess a little more information definatly would of helped. I do play very tight at a limit table but when I do usually I have a good hand and still get 5 callers just thought my odds were right with 1 maybe 2 others. Remember in a lot of limit tables people perceive a person that has played tight as having a hand and two left to call will usually check it down if you have played tight so my call is more of a semi bluff then anything.

I chose to call on the button. Easy to get away from, have made more with crap than with AK, gives you room to bluff. May be the wrong answer but and it's poker. Remember my favorite hand is ant 2 cards

Later The Manford, Keep laughing poker is fun

are there any sites that teach typing lol

I would almost always (90-99%) fold this hand. Table image is key. 2nd would be who was still remaining at the table in the blinds.

I too have found the daily quizez to be crap shoots. It is difficult to paint a picture that encompases all aspects of a hand day after day, however, some of the examples we have had lately leave so much for multiple correct responses. Then the "answer" is usually more vauge than the question, which would imply that no answer could be correct and you were foolish for sitting down at the table and accepting cards to play.

Either way, when I first saw the question. I said no brainer - FOLD. Then though what was the meaning behind the question, dumbed down and raised! Whoops!

See ya'll tomorrow.
