Equity Bootcamp Quiz (4) - Playing Ax against 3-bets ooP

by MyLady17

After getting 3-bet you can't simply fold your A-high right away all the time but with around 28-29% equity on the flop you have to check/call and eventually see the showdown if the board develops well. In this quiz you will find out if you're able to correctly estimate your equity. We will be using the ORC's 3-betting-ranges here as well.

3-betting-ranges:

  • 3-bet vs MP2: 77+, ATs+, KQs, AJo+
  • 3-bet vs MP3: 66+, A9s+, KQs, ATo+, KQo
  • 3-bet vs CO: 44+, A5s+, KTs+, QJs, A8o+, KJo+

Good luck!

Question 1:

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with AdJs (6 players)
Hero raises, MP3 3-bets, 4 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) 9h7d4s (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets, Hero ?

Villain 3-bets your MP2-raise, so you're up against a very strong range. Can you check/call profitably in this spot?



Question 2:

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with AdQs (6 players)
Hero raises, MP3 3-bets, 4 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) 9h7d4s (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets, Hero ?

This time you hold AQ instead of AJ. What's your plus in equity here?





Question 3:

Preflop: Hero is CO with Ac X (6 players)
2 folds, Hero raises, BU 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) Qd8c7h (2 players)

Villain 3-bets your open raise and now you're facing the following decision: What's your minimum kicker (that didn't make a pair) for check/calling here?





Question 4:

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with AdKs (6 players)
Hero raises, MP3 3-bets, 4 folds, Hero calls

You decide not to cap AK here, so your perceived hand range won't be too strong. Which board makes you fold right away?

1: Qc9c6c

2: Jh7h6h

3: Th9h8h




Question 5:

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with AcTc (6 players)
MP2 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) Jc7d6d (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero ?

You are MP3 and get 3-bet from the cutoff. You have a backdoor flush draw and one overcard. Can you continue here?



Question 6:

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with AcTc (6 players)
MP2 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) Qc7d6d (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero ?

Now instead of a J there is Q on the flop. What's your minus in equity compared to question 5?





Question 7:

Preflop: Hero is CO with Ac5c (6 players)
2 folds, Hero raises, BU 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) 9d8s8h (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets, Hero ?

You hold the worst suited ace in your opening range and now you have to decide how to proceed. What is your decision?




Question 8:

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with
AdTd

Flop: (7.50 SB)
Jd8s5s

Against which range can you profitably check/call?




Question 9:

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with AcTh (6 players)
MP2 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) X 2s2d (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero ?

What is the smallest card, in place of the X, that will make your equity drop below 29%?





Question 10:

Preflop: Hero is CO with Ac8c (6 players)
2 folds, Hero raises, BU 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (7.50 SB) Jd5s5d (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets, Hero ?

You raise from CO and villain 3-bets from the button. How do you continue on this flop?
