[Closed] Quiz of the week: Playing the Calling Station Postflop out of Position

You scored 33 out of 42 possible points. This corresponds to 79 % !

24 -34 Points:
Well done! You know what do to out of position against such players.

Question 5:
Check-raise (9 Points)

This is an easy board for you once again. You shouldn't give any free cards since a lot of weaker hands will call too, but as soon as someone raises you are probably behind. Bet/fold should be your line of choice.

WTF?

Something is wrong with this test.

You're right harleytopper, it was supposed to be 0 points, not 9. Thanks for spotting that

24/36 67% but again I disagree with a couple:

question 1: the pot is unraised with are with 2 very passive players if there is a raise i imagine it will be a massive hand. Our FD is far from the nut and we could be drawing dead. we are oop as well.

1'd say c/f for a pot size bet , limit c/c for a 3/4 pot. and c/c for lower sized bet

(bet size is not mentioned in the option btw)

question 4: i just have an overpair and not the besat one either. I'm with 2 very passive players again if they bet I am often beat don't you think?

question 10: the wet board is as scary for us as it is for them. I have the initiative and am preflop aggressor. I found especially at lower limits ( have not tried it at higher limits) to be getting a lot of folding equity on a wet board. I bet as if I have something and want to protect ( but to the lower hand of the protection range 2/3pot) and b/f in case of reraise.

I also had question 12 wrong but I agree with this one

Question 5:

JcJh flop: 5d6d7d

Even against a calling station I'm not sure about a bet on this flop. It's not that I'm scared of having the worst hand but that you cannot get much value out of a bet on this flop. Here are some possible hands that each player could have

Two diamonds: about 1 in 20 for each player where you are drawing dead

KJ with K of diamonds: you are slightly better than a coin flip

87 : flipping. If they have 8 of diamonds you are 2 to 1 dog.

77: way behind

A4 with or without a diamond is pretty bad

KQ (without a diamond) you get some value

You are mostly putting money into a pot where over half the deck is a scare card against this player. The following cards come on the turn that make you want to throw up:

A, K, Q, 9, 8, 4, 3, or a diamond; count'em 31 scare cards out of 47 is about two thirds of the deck. I would keep the pot small until the turn and then bet for value. This hand is similar to a drawing hand. You are looking for one of 16 turn cards to help you. The difference is that you cannot "semi-bluff" this hand because often you are just dead. If the board wasn't so sick (say 862 all diamonds) then I would bet for value.

You scored 36 out of 36 possible points. This corresponds to 100 % !

Damn i'm good! ♠_cool:

About question 8; Is bet/calling really a good idea (3 points are given here, same as bet/3-bet)? Although their chances of hitting a straigtflush if they are holding 8d or 9d is very limited, we have to consider that would scare off 2pairs-straights and that we have to protect against sets turning into FH on turn/river. The best play is bet/shove here imo.

about question 12 - if bet/broke is the optimal line then why would not check/raise get at least 1 point

Should have got question 2 right, miss read it. I would never bet/raise w/ 5players, thought there was only 2 players. There goes my stack on that one.

Also agreed w/thazar on question #10. I raised sb showing str, imo, check folding just seems to weak.

Just my opinion.

yay 36/36

Quizmaker thinks like me

27/36.

Can I ask why I don't see much "bet/call" when this a very good line to take with certain hands in certain scenarios.
