Limit Texas Holdem Quiz #22

[Matt]

You are in the big blind with Q:diamonds:J:clubs:. Three players limp, the small blind folds, and you check. The first limper is a major fish, extremely loose and very passive. The other two limpers are typical players. The flop comes 7:spades: 7:diamonds: Q:clubs:. You bet and only the fish calls. The turn is the J:hearts:, giving you top two pair. You bet and the fish raises. The pot contains six big bets, giving you 6-1 pot odds. What do you do?

Call. You are probably behind, but two pair is too strong a hand to fold. You could also improve to a full house on the river.

He probably has a seven. He could hold AQ as well.. I think this is a call down but i'm a donk

Yup, i made a mistake.

You should fold. I didn't pay attention to the fact that he is Very Passive.


However, given the situation I think I would have checked/called (probably not a good play).

You should fold. Passive players don't like to raise unless they have a big hand. And when they do have a big hand, they usually raise on the turn when the bet size doubles. You only have four outs to improve to a full house. You are a 10.5-1 underdog and you don't have the right pot odds to chase.

If you're a donk, then so am I. I called him down. Of course, he had a seven.
