FL: Made Hands On The Turn

by Bobbel

Even though most non-FL players think that it's all about clicking the bet or raise button as fast as possible with your made hands in Fixed Limit, the reality is a lot more complicated.

This quiz will allow you to check how far your ability concerning your play with made hands on the turn has progressed.

Hereby, it makes explicit reference to the content of the Post-flop: How to Play Made Hands on the Turn from the silver section.

Question 1.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A A
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 raises, 1 fold, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 3 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls

Flop: (11 SB) 7, 9, K (3 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, MP2 calls, CO calls

Turn: (10 BB) J (3 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, CO 3-bets, Hero ?

With your bets and 3-bets, you show a lot of strength and try to protect your cards throughout the hand. On the turn, the CO suddenly wakes up and 3-bets the raise from MP2. What do you do?




Question 2.

 

Preflop: Hero is SB with J T
7 folds, Button calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button calls

Flop: (5 SB) J, 8, 6 (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls

Turn: (3,5 BB) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets, Button raises, Hero ?

The button limps on the flop and then plays call flop, raise turn. Is your hand still good enough for a 3-bet? Or do you switch to a calldown? Or should you even consider a fold?




Question 3.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A T
6 folds, CO calls, SB completes, Hero raises, CO calls, SB calls

Flop: (6 SB) T, 9, 4 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, CO raises, SB folds, Hero 3-bets, CO calls

Turn: (6BB) K (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero ?

The CO shows a lot of strength after raising your bet again after your 3-bet on the flop. How do you react?




Question 4.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A , A
MP1 calls, Hero raises, MP3 folds, CO 3-bets, BU folds, SB calls, BB folds, MP1 calls, Hero caps, CO calls, SB calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (17,00 SB) 8 , 5 , 6 (4 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, CO calls, SB calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (10,50 BB) 7 (4 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero ?

The board is really draw-heavy. A flush is already possible and it turns 4-connected on the turn. Does a bet still make sense?



Question 5.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A K
6 folds, Hero raises, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls

Flop: (6,5 SB) A, T, 7 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB calls

Turn: (4,75 BB) 3 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button raises, BB calls, Hero ?

The button raises your bet on the turn and the big blind even decides to cold-call. How do you proceed?




Question 6.

Preflop: Hero is BB with T , T
6 folds, BU calls, SB calls, Hero raises, BU calls, SB calls.

Flop: (6,00 SB) 2 , A , J (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, BU folds, SB calls.

Turn: (4 BB) 8 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero ?

On the flop, you bet your pocket pair for protection. On the turn, the board turns 4-suited. What do you do?




Question 7.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T , T
Hero raises, 2 folds, BTN calls, 1 folds, BB calls

Flop: 8 , T , 7 ( 6.5SB )
BB bets, Hero raises, BTN calls, BB calls

Turn: 6 ( 6.25BB )
BB checks, Hero bets, BTN raises, BB calls, Hero ?

You're holding a strong hand, the top set. The boards is heavily connected, though. Every 9 makes the straight. How do you react to the raise and the cold-call?




Question 8.

Preflop: Hero is BU with A , T
MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, BB folds, MP3 calls, CO caps, Hero calls, SB calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (17,00 SB) 3 , 5 , 4 (4 players)
SB checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Hero bets, SB raises, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (14,50 BB) 2 (4 players)
SB bets, MP3 raises, CO folds, Hero ?

This hand somewhat goes beyond the scope of this quiz, as you only improve to a made hand on the turn. Your gutshot to the bottom end of the straight is completed, but there is tremendous action in front o you. The SB donks and the formerly passive MP3 raises into 3 players. What do you do?




Question 9.

Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with Q Q
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls, Hero raises, MP3 calls, 4 folds, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (9.5 SB) 2 9 5
UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, UTG folds, MP1 calls.

Turn: (6.25 BB) A
MP1 checks, Hero ?

You bet on the flop with your overpair of queens and get 2 callers. On the turn, the horror card shows up: an ace. What do you do?



Question 10.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A 2
6 folds, Hero raises, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls

Flop: (6,5 SB) A, 9, 7 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB calls

Turn: (4,75 BB) J (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB raises, Hero ?

The big blind gets out a strong move with his check-raise. How do you react?
