BSS: Turnplay out of Position

by MiiWiin

Today we are going to look at some tricky spots on the turn. The turn is by far the most difficult street in No Limit Hold'em. Firstly, the pot is still growing, you can never be 100% sure where you stand and secondly, there is one card and one betting round left to come.

On the flop decisions are usually less costly, while on the river your hand is complete. On the turn, however, you will often find yourself in difficult situations with many problems.

Therefore, we want to focus on one specific spot in this quiz: you're on the turn and you need to decide how you play a marginal hand out of position. We won't be using stats, just the rough reads you've been able to gather up to now. 

Keep the following basic concepts in mind for every question and decide which one applies best:

  • Pot control
  • Protection
  • Bluff induce
  • Value extraction

Good luck!
