Question
True to form, you’re playing in a six-max game online. In this hand you raise to $8 from early position. A loose player calls in the cut-off and a TAG calls on the button. The blinds fold. The flop comes 4
9
8
. You bet $20; the cut-off calls and the button raises to $80.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Fold
A good TAG is not reraising in this spot with anything you beat, especially after the cold caller in the middle. He likely has a set or a flopped two pair and you are miles behind. Best-case scenario, he has a combo draw and you are maybe 50% to win, but that is a small portion of his range. Fold now and watch what he turns over when the fish calls.
