Play on the Flop
1. What should you do any time that an ace hits on the flop ?
Ans : Tighten up significantly.
2. What typically can happen if an ace hits the board with another low card ?
Ans : A player who waits for premium hands can have the nut low draw with a pair of aces and possibly other draws working.
3. Suppose the flop is Q 
10 
2 
, you hold two queens, and there is a fair amount of money already in the pot. What should you do ?
Ans : Raise or perhaps try for a check-raising in an effort to knock out other players.
4. Now suppose you have a big wrap-around straight draw with the same flop. Should you raise ?
Ans : No, as you do not want to knock out other players.
5. What if you think one of your opponents has a hand similar to your hand ?
Ans : You probably would want to eliminate all players with low draws.
6. What might this allow you to do ?
Ans : To split the high with no one getting the low, to win with just a high pair, or if low cards come, to bluff your opponent out.
