Quiz of the Week: 2nd Pair in Heads-up Spots (NL)

The quiz
Topic: 2nd Pair in Heads-up Spots
Strategy: No Limit (BSS)

Status: Basic Basic

Take the quiz

 

With a second pair you have a pretty marginal hand and whereas it could be stupid to do anything but check/fold with plenty of opponents around, in heads-up situations a second pair can prove itself to be a valuable hand.

This week's quiz puts you these situations, as we ask you to judge a few different plays made by different player types and how to react to them. What does a check mean on a monochrome board and is your pocket pair still good for a bet? Does a straight draw for you change anything?
