Q

You raise to 3BB pre-flop with AQo and get one caller from the blinds.. You have position on a flop of 938 rainbow and your opponent checks to you.

Based on the fundamental theorem of poker, what is your best play, and why?

A

you should check back, because:

-Better hands will not fold and worse hands will not call, plus:

  • It gives you a chance to improve against a pair
  • It prevents a check-raise,
  • It gives you a chance to make a dominating hand

Q

You raise to 3BB pre-flop with KQo and get one caller from the blinds.. You have position on a flop of 938 rainbow and your opponent checks to you.

Based on the fundamental theorem of poker, what is your best play, and why?

A

you should bet to get A-high hands (which are better than your hand) to fold.

22
Q

You raise to 3BB pre-flop with QQ and get one caller from the blinds.. You have position on a flop of 938 rainbow and your opponent checks to you.

Based on the fundamental theorem of poker, what is your best play, and why?

A

You should bet out:

  • to protect your hand against overcards
  • to get worse cards to call
23
Q

You raise to 3BB pre-flop with 77 and get one caller from the blinds.. You have position on a flop of 938 rainbow and your opponent checks to you.

Based on the fundamental theorem of poker, what is your best play, and why?

A

you should check because:

  • betting would cause weaker hands to fold
  • a bet would only be called by a stronger hand
24
Q

What is the “Aggressive Action Theorem”

A

A player who raises post flop will likely not fold his hand

25
Q

explain the 45 unseen card rule

A

used to approximate odds and equity with one card to come.
divide outs into 45… 45/outs = x:1
(x-1): 1 are your odds
1/x is your equity

26
Q

If you know your opponents drawing odds (e.g. 4:1), how do you estimate the amount to bet to make the draw unprofitable?

A

given odds of x:1, the bet size needed is:

Bet size (% of pot) = 100/(x-1)

27
Q

What percentage of the pot should you bet if you estimate your opponent has 8 outs with one card to come?

A

greater than 25%

0dds = 4.9 : 1
Bet size = 100/(4.9-1) = 100/(~4) = 25%

28
Q

What percentage of the pot should you bet if you estimate your opponent has 9 outs with one card to come?

A

greater than 33%

0dds = 4.2 : 1
Bet size = 100/(4.2 - 1) = 100/(~3) = 33%

29
Q

What percentage of the pot should you bet if you estimate your opponent has 6 outs with one card to come?

A

greater than 17%

0dds = 6.8 : 1
Bet size = 100/(6.8 - 1) = 100/(~6) = ~17

30
Q

Approximately what percentage of the pot should you bet if you estimate your opponent has 9 outs with two cards to come?

A

greater than 100% (actual answer > 116%)

45 unseen card rule ~ 5:1 chance = 4:1 odds. Two card odds ~ 2:1

0dds ~ 2 : 1
Bet size = 100/(2 - 1) = 100/(~1) = ~100

30
Q

You have AQ on a AQ8 board after your pre-flop raise was called by one player in position.

You bet $11 into a pot of $20, and your opponent raises to $40. You take a few seconds to think, and while you do, your opponent orders a drink from a waitress.

What is your best play and why?

A

You should fold, because the fact that your opponent is able to focus his attention on some other activity indicates extreme confidence in his hand.

31
Q

What are the 5 elements of ABC poker

A
  • Tight play on first betting round
  • Tight play on later betting rounds with marginal holdings
  • Fast play of strong holdings on early betting rounds
  • betting aggressively for value and bluffing infrequently
  • folding to uncommon aggression

Note: this applies to all forms of poker

32
Q

What type of opponent(s) is the following play good against:

Giving up on the Turn and River after your C-bet on a A82 rainbow board with QQ gets called?

A

A fit or fold NIT

Against a LAG, they will often try to represent an Ace during some point in this hand, so you are often better off playing passively post-flop.

33
Q

What type of opponent(s) is the following play good against:

Bloating the pot pre-flop in position with a wide range and C-Bet most flops

A

A fit or fold NIT or a limp/fold NIT

34
Q

What type of opponent(s) is the following play good against:

Making a pot sized bet from the small blind on the river with 8c8d on a KhTh3s7d5s board and the following action:

  • Preflop, raise/call (SB-you)
  • Flop: SB check/Opp check
  • Turn: SB bet 1/2 pot/call
A

A TAG who may be trying to pot-control with a hand like QQ, JJ, AT, etc.

He would have tried to protect something like AK early post-flop.

35
Q

You have 9hTh and raise preflop to 3BB and get 1 caller. You double barrel flop and turn on board of:
Jh8s5d3s

The river is a 7s. Your 1/2 pot bet gets check-raised by 3x. What is your opponent’s most likely holding and what should you do.

A

AsJs is the most likely holding. Backdoor flushes are more likely when the top card on the flop is not the suit of the flush that develops.

You should bet/fold

37
Q

1-2 cash game, straddled pot, you have $130. You raise to $25 with AK over two limpers and get called by the second limper who has you covered and are heads-up.

He is an old, crafty player. What are his likely holdings?

A

with your raise there is $40 in the pot and you have $105 in your stack. His has to call $21. His implied odds are approximately 7:1.

He does not have the odds to set mine, so he most likely has a big hand, despite your blockers…

JJ+, AKs

Against this range you are 36% pre-flop

38
Q

What does the “S” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

S = Stacksize: What does the stack size dictate regarding an opponents action.

e.g. a regular calls with only enough implied odds to try to set mine… 10x-15x bet size…no suited or connected cards in his range…dry boards with one or two high cards will usually miss him, wet boards will scare him and he will play his hand face-up.

39
Q

What does the “P” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

P = Position: What position is the target opponent in?

When you raise pre-flop, will you likely have position post-flop? Or will there likely be people to your left calling?

If you call pre-flop, will you have relative position when you check post-flop to the pre-flop raisers?…you should limit speculative calls of a raised, multiway preflop pot to when you are to the immediate right of the preflop raiser.

40
Q

What does the “R” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

R = Range: What is his likely range given the action and his history (variable bet sizes, # hands played, type of player…regular, nit, maniac, fish)

41
Q

What does the “C” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

C = Capability: What is he capable of? (bets draws, bets scare cards, tries bluffs when checked to on the river, thin value better, bet/folds)?

42
Q

What does the “A” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

A = Action: What, if anything, does the target opponent likely perceive about the action he is reacting to

Is he trying to stack a nit? Is he trying to make a loose/passive player bet/fold? Does he perceive a good squeeze spot? Does he perceive that you are vulnerable to a 3bet?

43
Q

What does the “E” stand for when evaluating a target opponent with the SCRAPE method?

A

E = Exploitability: What is the best way to for you to exploit your opponent’s tendancies?

  • Bluff NITs post flop after calling/isolating IP
  • Valuetown calling stations
  • Trap Maniacs
  • Play LAGs backwards
  • 3B frequent PFR’s OOP, call more often IP
  • Consider squeeze when lag open-raises, TAG or NIT calls
44
Q

What cards are referred to when calling a preflop raiser using the 15, 25, 35 rule?

A

pocket pairs, suited connectors, suited aces

45
Q

You are in position against a preflop, tight, open-raiser who opens to $12. How big does the effective stack size need to be to call this raise with a:

  • pocket pair
  • suited connector
  • suited ace
A
  • pocket pair, $180
  • suited connector, $300
  • suited ace, $420
46
Q

You are in position against a preflop, tight, open-raiser who opens to $7. How big does the effective stack size need to be to call this raise with a:

  • pocket pair
  • suited connector
  • suited ace
A
  • pocket pair, $105
  • suited connector, $175
  • suited ace, $245
47
Q

When facing a large bet (pot size or greater) from a regular or tight player on the flop or turn, what steps should you take to determine if you should call?

A

1) This opponent almost ALWAYS has a near nut hand that he wants to take the pot down with (or make you think he is bluffing with). Forget about your hand for a moment and figure out his most likely range
- – On a dry board–assume 2 pair+
- – On a wet non-paired board, assume straight or flush

2) Determine your outs and hand odds against this range.
- – hand odds = (45/outs - 1) : 1
- – ex: 9 outs on turn = 4:1 hand odds

3) Figure out your pot odds.
- – pot odds = (amount currently in pot)/(call amount)
- – ex: pot size bet on turn = 2:1 pot odds

4) If your pot odds are more than your hand odds, call. Otherwise (and this is usually the case) FOLD!
- – ex: pot odds less than hand odds, FOLD

48
Q

If you raise preflop, then check the flop, what hand will your opponents put you on?

A

AK

48
Q

When stacks are deep and you are worried about implied odds calls (you have a current monster that is vulnerable to draws), what is a good way to calculate a bet size that denies implied odds draws?

A

Multiply estimated outs by 2.5 and convert to a percentage (e.g. 4 outs x 2.5 = 10%)

Add current pot and effective stack size. (e.g. $100 + $500 = $600).

Multiple calculated percentage and dollar amounts and bet that product (e.g. 10% x $600 = $60)

49
Q

You raise pre-flop and are out of position with AdKhs against one opponent on a 3d6dJd board. Villain check/calls and checks again when turn is 9h. What is the likelihood of being up against a flush?

A

zero. A player with a non-nut flopped or turn flush will not play it passively. Since you have the Ad, opponent can not have the non-nut flush
