Question
In your six-max game online it's folded to the aggressive regular in the small blind. The two of you have a good deal of history and he knows that you play well/aggressive. He raises to $6 and you call. The flop comes J
8
5
and he bets $11. You raise to $38 and he shoves.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Call
When you're in blind vs. blind situations, the more aggressive player wins. If you were in this very spot you would play a draw the very same way by raising on the flop. Thus when he re-raises over top you have to call because you're near the top of your flop-raising range and it's entirely possible he's trying to value-town draws. Make the call and expect to be good.
