Quiz of the Week: Raised Pot without Initiative
At the very beginning of our poker career, we will usually be the one with initiative as we go to the flop. As we progress, we will start to open up our game and call raises more often, though.
| Initially, this approach will be limited to pocket pairs where we hope to hit a set. Post-flop play will be easy as we usually don't have much of a hand in case we miss.
Things start becoming more complicated as we start opening up our ranges, though. We might find ourselves in situations where we played a suited connector and have to make a decision with some kind of draw on the flop. The game also becomes less straight forward if we have an overpair - and possibly an additional draw - with a small pocket pair. All things considered, the kind of spots we face when cold-calling an opponent's raise are a delicate matter and they are an important aspect to master as a progressing poker player. How well do you manage these situations? Please don't hesitate and share your thoughts about this week's edition of the quiz on the forum: Enjoy the quiz! |
