Can you Ace my quiz?

[Paul Thomson]

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].

Do you Fold? Call? ReRaise?

Hand 4:

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 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

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

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.

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.

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

Final one call or reraise are both OK.

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.

So you're hoping to take down hand 3 preflop with your raise? Otherwise you are creating the big pot you say you don't want to play OOP.

Help a brother out, what's the thought behind the raise on hand 3?

I have not gone through this thread, so perhaps it has been addressed. However, this isn't much of a quiz. Playing these hands preflop shouldn't take more than a half a second of thought.

It is how you play these hands post flop against your opponents range/tendencies with consideration for the board that matters.

For example, how often do you c/r a missed small pair on a ragged board etc.
