Question
In a six-max game online, in this hand you raise to $8 and a very tight player calls in the small blind. The flop comes A
4
J
and the tight player checks. You bet $14. The tight player calls; the turn comes 2
and he checks.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Check
Against this type of player (a super tight one) a second barrel is seldom going to work. For him to call a middle-position raise when in the blinds, his worst hand is A-Q once he calls the flop. He is not going to fold for a second barrel, nor will he for a third. So just check now and attempt to get a free card.
