Problem 1. "A"
opens. "B" stays with Q 8 4 3 A in different suits. "A"
stands pat. "B" discards the Queen and draws a 6. "A"
checks. What should "B" do?
Answer. "B" should bet. The chances are that "A"
has a worse hand, probably a nine high. He will probably call even
so, for players who have opened the pot are wary of a bluff in this
situation.
Problem 2. "A" opens. "B" stays with Q 8 4 3
A in different suits. "C" also stays. Everybody draws
one card, "B" getting a 6. "A" checks. What
should "B" do?
Answer. "B" should also check. Against 2 one-card draws
an 8 6 is not good enough for a bet. If "C" bets, "B"
is good enough to call.
Problem 3. "A" opens. "B" stays. "C"
stays with 10 9 6 3 A. "A" and "B" draw one
card. What should "C" do?
Answer. "C" should draw two cards to the 6. His ten high
has little chance of standing up against two one-card draws. Also,
when the decision is at all close, it is generally right to play
for a good hand that will inspire some confidence in the end betting.
