The Poker Quiz
You are playing in a super loose aggressive deep stacked $1/2 NL Cash
game. In middle position you limp into the pot with J
10 .
A player in late position also limps and the button with $700 in front
of him raises to $15. The big blind calls and so do you and the original
limper. The flop comes Q
9 5
.
The big blind checks, you bet $25 and both players behind you make the
call. The big blind then comes over the top for $175. You have him covered
by $10.
The Solution
Call.
You have an open-ended straight draw. If the big blind mistakenly
slow played a set or two pair you still have 15 outs, making you a favorite
to win the hand. The only way you would be in worse shape would be if
the big blind had specifically A
K,
but you would still have 12 outs, giving you correct odds to call.
