Pop quiz

YOU HOLD:

6 :club: 6 :heart:


PREFLOP:

Fold fold fold; you call; fold fold fold; button calls; SB folds; BB checks.

Pot: 5.5 BB

FLOP:

7 :heart: 8 :heart: 5 :heart:

Checks all around.

TURN:

9 :heart:

SB checks, you bet the pot, button raises all-in. SB folds.

Bet the flop!

Easy all-in, but I wouldn't put my life savings on anything short of the stone cold nuts...

um...what are you scared of?

JhTh? If you get over-straight-flushed hey that's a story for the grandkids.


Most likely JhTh would've bet that flop on account of the A, K, and Q being unaccounted for and drawing to a better flush than the made one.

Hehe... Didn't see the poll. Agree with Fnord, though. When people are betting houses, you should probably have the nuts.

I suck at poker so I probably wouldn't even think to hard about JTh. I'd figure that I was up against Ah and call the all-in.

The A:heart: can be confident in his hand becuase it would take rare holdings to beat his hand. You happen to have those rare holdings. I'd call.

I'd bet my firstborn child.

Yup, call - i voted for the "i wont bet the house but i'm definitely calling this!"

:Jh: :Th: would be incredibly slim pickens here. I'd say one in 100 hands?

Anyways, I'm never gonna lay down a straight flush :) .

I'm guessing from the fact that you have this poll that the guy actually had 10 J of hearts. However, you have to bet the farm on this hand.

Can't lay this down. If you're playing for houses, you should see Rilla's bankroll post. :wink:

I don't think it's a hard laydown if you are not pot commited. he can only do this with 2 cards, A of hearts or T of hearts. so it's not a "no brainer call"

If you even consider laying this hand down, please make an appointment to play some high stakes poker with me. I have kids to feed.

I call with no hesitation.

T:heart: gives him nothing but a T high flush.

He would need T:heart: 6:heart: to have the T high straight flush which I what you probably thought the T:heart: would give him.

Well, I'm not betting my house. But luckily, that's not an issue. I'm betting every chip I have at the table.
