BASIC POKER LESSONS

Poker quiz!!!!

TOPIC: Middle Position
QUESTION:You have the J-T. The player on your immediate right, in early position, limps in. What do you do?

ANSWER:Fold. Don't limp in with jack-ten offsuit from middle position when only one player has limped in ahead of you and there is still more than half the table yet to act. The likelihood of the pot getting raised with this many players behind you is too high to play a weak, speculative drawing hand like this. If you call and it gets raised, you will be obliged to call the raise, resulting in you having to pay two bets to take a flop. If your hand were suited, then you could play. If you were in a later position with more players limping in, then you might have a play.
