rolf slotboom quiz question:
13) You're one off the button with Jh Jc. Seat # 4 has raised to $20 and has been called by seat # 6. What do you do?
his scoring fold ( 7 points) call ( 5 points) raise (4 points) his reasoning: You figure to be up against high cards or, even worse, a higher pair (an under-the-gun raise usually means you're up against a quality hand). Even though you have a fine starting hand, you're not going to reraise here as any ace, king or queen on the flop would force you to give up your hand. In fact, this hand could prove quite expensive even if only low cards flop: you're going to play your hand, maybe even aggressively, hoping the raiser doesn't have AA, KK or QQ. The only way you can really like your hand is when a jack flops and the odds against that are 7.5 to 1. If you look at the situation like this, your hand isn't much stronger than a pair of deuces and folding here (don't show your hand to anyone!) might not be such a bad idea. do you guys agree? i am not at the mid/high stakes limit level but i thought this was a standard raise. only hands utg you are worrieda bout having are AA KK QQ. and the caller, unless a really tricky player doesn't have those hands beat. and if utg has AKs AK AQs AQ JJ TT or 99 you are in good position. |
