Question
Six-max game online. You raise from early position to $8. Everyone folds to the big blind, who comes along. The big blind plays a regular TAGish game and is not terrible. The flop comes 10

. The big blind checks and you bet $14; he check-raises to $50.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Call
Folding is terrible since you have the nut-flush draw. Both raising small and raising all-in are bad because you are so deep. With 300BB each at the start of the hand your opponent will not get it in on this flop with anything that you are ahead of. Just flat-call his check-raise and reevaluate on the turn.
