Question of the Day

Question

Playing in a six-max game online, in this hand it’s folded around to the cut-off. He raises to $8. You choose to flat-call on the button because there is a super spewy player in the small blind. He ends up calling, and the big blind folds. The flop comes 7♥ 2♠ 2♣. The fish checks and the cut-off c-bets $20. You think you have the best hand.

What should you do?

Correct Answer: Call

Now if you think you have the best hand versus the cut-off, you should almost always call. If you think he is c-betting with a good portion of his range on this dry board, then it’s completely fine to just call. Reason being, that fishy player may just spazz out and attempt to bluff. So if you think the TAG in the hand is not a big deal, focus on maximizing your value from the bad player.
