Limit Texas Hold'em Quiz.

Personally I would not raise an open ended staight draw into this flop with 8 callers... (that just can't be right)... but I'm sure some would. I'm not against capping in this question. I think the call and cap are very close however, and maybe tweaking the question a little to emphasize your point may be the 'best' play.

Heck... in poker.... everything is debatable!!!

In question 5... you should look at the order of betting as well... 3 callers ahead of you pre-flop with the SB and BB coming along... all 5 players should be acting before you after the flop... not just 3. Just have a couple fold in there and the question is more appropriate for your original intent.

Last week B&M:
5-10 HE... I get AA under the gun and raise, couple fold, MP caller, then a rock re-raises... folded back to me... I just call and so does MP. 3 to the flop which comes a beautiful AK5 rainbow. I check, MP bets, rock smooth calls and I'm 90% sure he's got KK or AK. I call. Turn pairs the 5... no flush draws... I bet out... MP raises(uh-oh) ... and rock re-raises... now I know MP and the rock fairly well... and I'm certain the rock's got AK or KK... and MP... I'm not sure but I'm beginning to think(hope) he's got 55... (note: Bad Beat Jackpot ~$20000... AAAJJ or better to qualify)... I call... Dealer turns the river... K... WOOHOO!!! check...check...check. (already enough money in pot to qualify)

Before I reveal what happens... here's the thing... You can't talk about the Jackpot during a hand.... but if there was ever a situation where a deal should be made... this is it!!

a) MP has 55, rock has KK
MP gets $10000
rock gets $5000+pot
our hero....$625

b) MP has 55, rock has AK
MP gets $5000+pot
rock gets $625
our hero...$10000

c) MP has crap, rock has KK
MP gets $625
rock gets $5000+pot
out hero... $10000

This is just sceaming DEAL, DEAL, DEAL... but what happens...

d) MP has K5(crap), rock has AK
MP gets $0
rock gets $0
our hero... pot...$151... What a rip!!!

Wow, I'm sick! Somehow this seems better to me than a), even though
you get less. a) would have pissed me off so much i couldn't play
again for.... a little while.

You actually managed to find a casino near Cornwall where a 5-10 player will play K5 through a pre-flop where players have AA and AK?!? Where did you find...

Oh yeah. Never mind. :cool:

Well done. Our first non-bad beat story.

Hmmm.... I think it might be a non-bad-beat bad-beat story, which would make it, essentially, just a story (but a good one).

That Cornwall-ish casino seems like ACTION to me! Wish it was around the corner. Too bad you didn't hit the jackpot...

In question 5... you should look at the order of betting as well... 3 callers ahead of you pre-flop with the SB and BB coming along... all 5 players should be acting before you after the flop... not just 3. Just have a couple fold in there and the question is more appropriate for your original intent.

Good idea. I've changed it to something a little different though, as explained in an earlier post:

question five where I suggested raising for a free card. Dave (and others) are right... you don't want to raise in a big multiway pot like this because you don't want to lose anybody. So, I changed the question, and made it heads up between the button and BB. Folded to the button ("you") who raises preflop with KcJc. BB calls. Heads-up to the same flop: Ac 9c 6h. BB bets. Here, I think it is 'un-debatable' that raising for a free card is the most correct play, as it is not a multiway pot, and your raise may get him to fold right then and there if he was just 'testing' you.

So, I changed the question to suit my answer

I like to cheat. My answers aren't right? That's OK... I'll change the question!
