In this quiz, you have the opportunity to check your knowledge about playing made hands on the flop. The quiz hereby strongly relates to the content of the How to play made hands on the flop article in the silver section.
Question 1.
Hero is Big Blind with A K Preflop: 5 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, BU folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, MP3 calls, CO calls, SB caps, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.
Flop: (16 SB) Q J T (4 players) SB bets, Hero ?
You're in the big blind and are happy with the premium hand you're holding. You 3-bet a raise from the small blind. Unfortunately, he's showing extreme strength and caps. On the flop, you are 4-handed.
Suddenly, you really like the cap before the flop - you have the nuts. The pot is already 16 small bets in size and the small blind makes a bet. How do you continue?
Question 2.
Hero is Big Blind with T 9 Preflop: 2 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 raises, CO folds, BU folds, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.
Flop:(8.5 SB) T 9 A (4 players) Hero ?
You are in the big blind with a suited connector. MP3 raises and 2 players enter the hand before you. You decide to call the raise, hoping for a good draw. On the draw-heavy board, you hit two-pair, though. What does your line look like?
Question 3.
Hero is UTG+1 with K K Preflop: UTG folds, Hero raises, UTG+2 calls, 3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds.
Flop (9 SB): 6 7 J (4 players) SB bets, Hero raises, UTG+2 folds, CO calls, SB 3-bets, Hero ?
The dealer finally has some mercy and deals the Cowboys to you. You raise from early position and get three calls. You have an overpair on the flop and the small blind donks into you. You decide to raise in order to protect your hand. After a flat-call, the small blind 3-bets you. How do you continue?
Question 4.
Hero is Button with A T Preflop: UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.
Flop (11 SB): J A 7 (5 players) SB bets, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero ?
You have a high suited ace and raise after three limpers. The small blind and three players follow the raise.
A player bets on the flop and two opponents call. You decide to raise in order to protect your hand and extract money from worse hands. The small blind 3-bets again and both other players give up their hand. What do you do?
Question 5.
Hero is Big Blind with J T Preflop: 4 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO raises, BU calls, SB folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls.
Flop (8.5 SB): 9 9 J (4 players) Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO bets, BU raises, Hero ?
You're in the big blind with JTs. Two more players join you in calling the CO raise. On the flop, you hit a very vulnerable top pair. You decide to check-raise due to the same reasons as in hand 2.
The button then unexpectedly raises the bet from the pre-flop aggressor. How do you adjust your play?
Question 6.
Hero is MP3 with T T Preflop: 4 folds, MP2 calls, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls, MP2 calls.
Flop (6.5 SB): 5 Q 6 (3 players) BB checks, MP2 bets, Hero ?
You isolate the player in front of you with TT. Unfortunately, the big blind also calls the raise. At least, you still have position on both players. On the flop, there is an overcard to your tens. In case all the players would check, you would naturally bet, but a player before you makes a donk-bet. How do you react?
Question 7.
Hero is MP3 with T T Preflop: UTG calls, 3 folds, MP2 calls, Hero raises, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG calls, MP2 calls.
Flop (10.5 SB): 5 Q 6 (5 players) BB checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, CO calls, BB folds, UTG raises, MP2 calls, Hero ?
You get pocket tens in middle position and raise after two other players have entered the hand. Unfortunately, two additional players call the raise, which is not something you want to see - with a pocket pair, you want as few opponents as possible. You go to the flop with five players and it comes down with an overcard to your pair.
After the three players have already checked, you decide to bet. One player calls and someone from early position check-raises into everyone. The unknown MP2 calls that raise. How do you proceed after this kind of action?
Question 8.
Hero is MP3 with K J Preflop: UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls, MP1 calls.
Flop (6.5 SB): J 6 A (3 players) BB checks, MP1 bets, Hero ?
Your attempt to isolate the player in front of you fails as the BB also calls. You hit a middle pair on the flop and the player before you suddenly bets. What do you do?
Question 9.
Hero is Big Blind with K 4 Preflop: 5 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero checks.
Flop (4.5 SB): T 4 2 (3 players) Hero ?
You check your options with a trash hand in the big blind, after two players have entered the hand, and you promptly hit middle pair on the flop. What's your plan here?
