Re: have you guys seen this hand????
I followed the link and it led to an apparently different question. Maybe they change each day. This is the one I saw.
Question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A $20-$40 game. An early player opens with a raise and you reraise with the K-K. The big blind and the early player call. There is $190 in the pot and three players. The flop is: J-T-3, giving you an overpair. The big blind checks. The early player bets. You raise. The big blind makes it three bets. The early player caps the betting. What do you do?
Answer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fold. You have to be badly beaten here. To call two more bets back to you would be a clear error. If someone has a set, you are playing two outs at best. Not having the K also hurts, since this helping card makes a spade flush possible. If someone has two pair, you have five outs at best, and a set is a distinct possibility on the preflop betting, where J-J or 10-10 are more likely enemy hands than J-10.
On the actual hand, the big blind had flopped a set of jacks and the preflop raiser had the A-Q. A spade came at the river, giving the preflop raiser the winning hand with a spade flush. The player finally found the good sense to fold on the turn when his two opponents kept raising.
