Weak Draws

by jorgozjamz

This quiz takes a closer look at weak draws and how to correctly play
them. The essential concepts of playing overcards and backdoor draws are
of course indispensable; they both require the ability to adequately
discount your outs and to identify tainted outs.

Overcards and ace-high hands in particular require you to consider the
fact that you might still be holding the best hand. On top of mastering
the whole mathematical framework, a subtle sense for these situations
makes your life a lot easier when trying to make the correct decision
within seconds. The following articles guide you into the right
direction and help you achieving the necessary degree of confidence:

And now... let the games begin!

Question 1:

SB = LAG (42/19/1.4/35)

Preflop: You are BB with 5Spade
, 3Heart
(6 players)
4 folds, SB calls, You check

Flop:: (2 SB) AHeart
, KDiamond
, 2Spade
(2 players)
SB bets, You?

You get a freeplay in the big blind and find yourself with a gutshot in
an unraised pot. Your opponent bets - is the pot too small or can you
make a good investment here?




Question 2:

Preflop: You are UTG with ASpade
, QSpade
(6 players)
You raise, MP calls, 1 fold, BU calls, SB calls, BB calls

Flop: (11 SB) 7Heart
, 7Diamond
, 3Club
(5 players)
SB checks, BB bets, You?

You open-raise AQs and get involved in a family pot. To top it all off,
the big blind suddenly donks into the big field. How do you react?




Question 3:

Preflop: You are UTG with ASpade
, QSpade
(6 players)
You raise, 3 folds, SB calls, BB calls

Flop:: (6 SB) 8Heart
, 7Heart
, 3Spade
(3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, You?

You open-raise AQs from early position once more. This time, you only
find two callers and the flop looks different, too. What's your plan?




Question 4:

Preflop: You are UTG with ASpade
, QSpade
(6 players)
You raise, 3 folds, SB calls, BB calls

Flop:: (6 SB) 8Heart
, THeart
, 3Heart
(3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, You?

Yet again, you raise AQs from early position. The situation remains the
same: you find yourself against the two players in the blinds and the BB
donks into you. The main difference: the board is now 3-suited. How do
you proceed?




Question 5:

SB = LAG (44/20/2.2/40)

Preflop: You are BU with KClub
, 8Spade
(6 players)
You raise, 3 folds, SB calls, BB calls

Flop:: (6 SB) 7Heart
, QClub
, 4Club
(3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, You bet, SB raises, BB folds, You?

You open-raise K8o from the button and both blinds call. You miss the
flop and the SB check/raises your conti-bet. How do you react?




Question 6:

SB = TAG, passive tendency (24/18/1.4/33)

Preflop: You are BB with 8Spade
, 9Spade
(6 players)
4 folds, SB raises, BB calls

Flop:: (4 SB) QHeart
, 4Diamond
, 2Spade
(2 players)
SB bets, You?

You're in the big blind and defend 89s against the TAG. You miss the flop, but could you still stay in the hand?




Question 7:

BU = very aggressive LAG (39/22/2.5/42)

Preflop: You are BB with 8Spade
, 9Spade
(6 players)
3 folds, BU raises, 1 fold, You call

Flop:: (4,5 SB) QHeart
, 4Diamond
, 2Spade
(3 players)
You check, BU bets, You?

Same hand and same flop. This time, you find yourself out of position
against an aggressive LAG, though. Do you still see a chance to get to
the turn.




Question 8:

Preflop: You are BB with QClub
, 6Club
(6 players)
1 fold, MP raises, 1 fold, BU calls, SB calls, You call

Flop:: (8 SB) KHeart
, 6Heart
, JSpade
(3 players)
SB checks, You check, MP bets, BU calls, SB folds, You?

You call Q6s in the big blind due to the great pot odds. You hit a bottom pair - what's your line?




Question 9:

BU = solid TAG
BB = TAG, loose tendency

Preflop: You are CO with JHeart
, THeart
(6 players)
2 folds, You raise, BU 3-bets, 1 fold, BB calls, You call

Flop: (9,5 SB) 8Club
, 5Diamond
, 2Diamond
(3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, BU bets, BB calls, You?

You open-raise J, T
from the cut-off, the BU 3-bets and the BB cold-calls. The BU makes his
continuation bet on the flop and the BB calls again. You have two
overcards and a 9 on the turn would give you an OESD. Every Q or 7 would
mean a gutshot - enough to go on or could you even put in a raise for
free card?




Question 10:

BU = solid TAG
BB = TAG, loose tendency

Preflop: You are CO with JHeart
, THeart
(6 players)
2 folds, You raise, BU 3-bets, 1 fold, BB calls, You call

Flop:: (9,5 SB) 9Club
, 5Diamond
, 2Spade
(3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, BU bets, BB calls, You?

The hand is basically the same, but the flop looks differnt now. Can you play the hand differently now?
