Can you Ace my quiz?
 

6 max. .50/1.00. All players have $100 stacks. All players play an aggressive smart post-flop style.

HAND 1:
The UTG who has a raising range of (88+, AQo+), raises to $3.50. It's folded around to the Hero in the BB who has A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Do you Fold? Call? ReRaise?

HAND 2:
The UTG who has a raising range of (88+, AQo+), raises to $3.50. It's folded around to the Hero in the BB who has 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Do you Fold? Call? ReRaise?

HAND 3:

The Button who has a raising range of (22+, A8o+, A2s+, any suited...single...double gap suited connectors), raises to $3.50. It's folded around to the Hero in the BB who has A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I think this might be more interesting than it initially seems.

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

Hand 1 and 3 I probably reraise 50% and call 50%, but lead more often than when I hit my Q or A.

Hand 2 and 4 I just call for a set.

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

Hands 1&2: Fold. You're either flipping or WB

Hand 3: Reraise and lead flop. You're ahead of his range.

Hand 4: Fold. If he's smart post flop you're not getting paid enough to try to hit your set, and if you don't hit you're basically done with your hand, unless you have a read that he folds the flop if he doesn't hit.

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

fold/call/raise for 1, 2 and 3.

Final one call or reraise are both OK.

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

This is my virgin post in the ssnl forum so be kind. I was/am a sng guy but I would like to develop the rest of my game so I have started to play ssnl.

Alas, here are my answers. Please let me know if my thinking is flawed.

1) I fold this hand? it is a weak hand in weak position and most flops miss me. Or, I call this hand and c bet 2/3 pot on any flop as most flops miss him and he is a good post flop player who will thus fold?

2)I fold this? he is good ps and I will thus not get any money out of him if I hit my set. Or, I call this with the intention of c betting 2/3 pot on any missed flop, and check calling until the river when I push if I hit my set as he will pay me off?

3)I call here and and c bet the pot on any flop as most flops miss him. Or, I re-raise here and hope to move him off his sooooted connectors now? If he calls me I check fold any flop that doesn't hit me really well.

4) I call here and check call any 1/2 pot bets or smaller to the river in order to make him honest on later hands and hope for a set along the way. Or, I fold as I am not getting the odds to set farm?

How do these lines sound?

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

Since we obviously have a good read on him my answers as follow. In reality I wouldn't have a read like this and I wouldn't be folding either of these, except perhaps nr 2.

1) Fold
2) Fold
3) Reraise
4) Call

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

1) fold to that range of hands

2-4) call

Always calling 33 for set value with these stack sizes, and calling AQ against button's range.

Edit - good post, nice quiz

Re: Can you Ace my quiz?
 

I fold/call/raise/call. I don't like reraising the last one because you're out of position. Unless you think he'll fold to a c-bet on an A high flop, I'd rather smooth call and try to spike my set. I don't like calling raises in the BB with AQo because it's so hard to know where you are, and you're basically gearing up to play a big pot with a "good" hand OOP.
