Question of the Day Friday, Aug 8, 2008


No-Limit Hold'em

Blinds: $1/$2
Pot: $29
  •      
    Flop
    $29
  •    
    Your Hand $250
  • 1st $240
     
  • 2nd $230
     
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  • Cut-off $300
  • Button $200
    $12
  • Small blind $170

Background:

This hand in your aggressive online six-max game folds around to the button, who jacks it to $8. Your read on the button is that he is a winning TAG who will open the button fairly light. He continuation bets fairly frequently but does not second-barrel too often without a hand or a strong draw. The small blind folds and you elect to flat-call out of the big blind. The flop comes Th4c6d. You check and he bets out $12.

Options:
