Review a decision

Bring the table details together and keep a good decision separate from its result. Answer all three to mark this stage complete. You can retry as often as you like; the result stays on this device.

01From the big blind you have Q♠ J♠ on Q♥ J♦ 4♣. You check, the button bets 4, and you may raise. Which plan best uses your hand?

Fold because the button raised preflopConsider a check-raise for value with top two pairCall only because raising is impossible after checking

02At 1/2 blinds you have 40 chips and face a raise to 6. A 100-big-blind chart suggests re-raising to 18. What should you reconsider?

Only whether the previous hand wonWhether 18 is exactly three times 6Whether that raise leaves an awkward 22-chip stack

03You called a 6-chip turn bet with a flush draw and missed the river. Which review note helps judge the call?

The turn pot, stacks, ranges, and clean outsOnly that the river missed, so the call was wrongOnly the cards you held, without the bet size
