Question
Playing in a six-max game online, it’s raised by a solid player in the cut-off to $8. You three-bet to $24 on the button. The blinds fold and the cut-off flat-calls. The flop comes A
8
4
. The cut-off checks.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Check
Betting is not good. It will fold out everything you beat, and your opponent will really only continue with an ace. If you check through you may get your opponent to bet and/or call the turn with a worse hand. If you have the best hand now, you are only going to get one street of value anyway. Check the flop and play poker on the later streets.
