Question

You’re playing in the early stages of a $215 online tournament. In this hand you raise to $60 under the gun and are three-bet to $250 by a player in middle position. Everyone folds to the button, who calls, and the blinds fold.

What should you do?

Correct Answer: Fold

In these early stages you should be playing very tight. To reraise an under-the-gun raiser in middle position shows a lot of strength. The button recognizes this and still wants to call. You are at best flipping and at worst crushed. You will also be out of position for the rest of the hand. You’re best off folding this.

  • Fold (55%)
  • Call (36%)
  • Reraise (10%)
