Question
In a six-max game online, you raise to $8 when it is folded to you on the button. A loose player calls in the small blind and the big blind folds. The flop comes A
8
4
. Your opponent checks.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Check through
You have a decent pair with showdown value. Betting here does not accomplish much. Your opponent will fold his worse hands and call with his aces. If you check now you may induce your opponent to bet with a worse hand on either the turn or river. Or you may just check it down and win with the best hand, as you would by betting the flop.
