I'm not so sure. Isn't the loose aggressive player's range wider than pocket pair?

What about two pair or open ended straight and or flush draw?
We are ahead if not even with a lot of that.

Default Re: Question #45

I went with call here, because I am a nit and I don't like to build a pot when there is a large chance that I'll have to fold the flop.

However, I bet that the "correct" answer is to raise. First, it's six handed, so one can raise UTG a bit wider than in a nine-handed game. Second, stacks are very deep, so I think one would want to already get the pot brewing a bit, as that will made it easier to get paid off in the event that we hit a set.

I voted for call, but didnt realize it was 6 handed til I read it again.

I definitely think a raise is in order here.

6 Handed, UTG, Raise thins the field...with a little variance assistance, wins.

raise also gives us yummy fold equity when the flop misses both you and that single opponent.

Default Question #46

5/10 NL. 7 handed. $1,000 stacks. You're in late position with:
A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

You raise to $40 first in and get a call from the BB. Flop is:
A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]


BB checks, you bet $60 and BB check raises to $185. You have no reads on the BB.

The answer key I have yields a score of 154/160 as of right now (still tweaking). Once we have gone through all of the questions, Yes, I definitely will post the "correct" answers, and let the fun begin again!

Rule(sort of I guess): Don't go broke with one pair. Fold. It pains me to do this, but money still in your stacks can be used to battle and win in a later hand...

Answer key update: 156/160 now.

Default Re: Question #46

with no reads, this is a fold. Our kicker is too weak. BB is going to show either JJ, 22 or A + higher kicker.
