Example 1
You're in early position, you have and you call the big blind. After your turn a player raises, then a player after that re-raises and finally another player in late position calls the re-raise. What should you do?

Answer:
You should fold. It is likely that someone else has an Ace with a better kicker than you or even a better hand. You have only paid one bet and it is likely that when you call another player will raise again. Besides, you are in the early and therefore bad position.


Example 2
You're in the middle position and you have . A player in early position and the player before you both call the big blind. What should you do?

Answer:
You should call. This is because you want to see the flop as cheap as possible. Second reason is because you want to have as many players in the pot as possible. You want to create a big pot in case you get another 7 for "three of a kind" which will very likely be enough to win the pot. Please take into account that there should always be minimum 4 players in the pot to be profitable with this approach in the long run.


Example 3
Your'e in middle position and you get . All players before you folds.
What should you do?

Answer:
You should raise. You either want to get the pot or play against as few opponents as possible. In the ideal situation everybody else folds as well or maybe excepts the blinds, but in that case you're in the best (latest) position anyway.


Example 4
You're in middle position and you get . A player in early position and the player before you call. What should you do?

Answer:
You should call, although raise is also on option. The reason to call should be that you hope that people with weaker hands which you dominate, such as and , will go along. You also hope that you can see the flop quite cheap so that you can fold your hand quite easily in case you do not get a good flop. The reason to raise should be that you want to bet people out of the pot in order to have a bigger chance to win.


Example 5
You're in middle position and you get a . A player in early position raises and the player after him re-raises. The player before you calls. What should you do?

Answer:
You should re-raise. At this point is very likely that you have the best hand and you thus want as many people as possible out of the pot. The chance that someone else has an AA or KK is small. Be aware in case an A or K appears on the flop. The chance is then that you will be beaten.


Example 6
You're in middle position and get an . The first 3 players call and the player before you raises. What should you do?

Answer:
You should fold. If the player before you had called as well you could have done the same. With a hand like this you only want to play large pots in which have not been raised.


Example 7
You're in early position and you get a . A bad player who plays too many hands raises. The player afterwards calls. What should you do?

Answer:
You should call. If a good player had raised you should have folded. This is because in that case the good player probably had a better hand. In this situation however your hand is good enough to call. Besides, you also call because does it well in pots with many players so you don't want to chase anybody away.
