Quiz of the Week: Middle Pairs in Unraised Pots (NL)

Taking over from the last week's close spots, this
week's quiz turned to an even more marginal situation: Free play from
the big blind.

It's the most frequent marginal spot and as a poker player, you face it
numerous times every day; nobody raises and you get to see a free flop
from the big blind.

A hand you wouldn't even play against a raise suddenly hits the flop,
and we find ourselves with a weak made hand with very little
information to work with.

It's natural that you don't feel comfortable in this situation, but you
would be giving money away if you didn't at least put up a fight with
your middle pair. The key to this kind of situation is to find a
balance between putting up a fight and avoiding to overplay a marginal
hand. As usual, this means that you have to adjust to the opponent and
their playing style.

Test yourself today and see whether you are capable of squeezing out every inch of value from your free plays:
