Theory Quiz (Limit Holdem)

Assume 3 opponents (limit holdem cash game) (each of equal chipstacks) in each of the following cases:

What two hole cards are BEST to have with the following flops?

1) 5s 7c 9s
2) As Kc Qh
3) 7s 7c 8s
4) Ks Qc 8c
5) 5s 8c 9s

How do your answers change if you are heads up instead up against 3 players???

I realize a lot of these are easy but it may spark some interesting discussion about the differences of HU vs. multi-way draws.

easy but i'll answer this one for you.

1. 6s8s
2. TsJs
3. 7h7d
4. KcKd
5. 6s7s

[RocketManJames]

1) 5s 7c 9s: 68s
2) As Kc Qh: JTs
3) 7s 7c 8s: 88
4) Ks Qc 8c: KK
5) 5s 8c 9s: 67s

I'm really not sure if I'd want a different hand on any of these if it were heads up instead of multi-way.

Hand three you think a full house is better than quads?

[PokerFink]

Full house is more likely to get action, since villian could have a seven and be drawing to one out.

why not 78 then, that way we can't be drawing dead

[SumZero]

1. 6s 8s
2. Jh Th
3. 7h 7d
4. Kc Kh
5. 6s 7s

I'd take the same hands against 3 players as headsup.

[Kaeser]

Because with 7,8 it's less likely an opponent will have a seven. How could we be drawing dead with pocket 8's on that flop?

That would eliminate quad 7s, but would still be dead to 88.
