Question
In your six-max game online a tight-and-very-ABC player raises to $8 UTG. You call on the button and the blinds fold. The flop comes 8
7
5
. UTG c-bets $12.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Raise
An ABC opponent is going to have a very difficult time playing this board out of position vs. a raise. Make it $35 with your gutshot and backdoor flush draw and expect to have to fire the turn as well. A tight ABC opponent just isn't going to want to put his stack on the line on this flop.
