You make a strong raise mid-way through a tournament with A-K and the flop comes A-7-4 rainbow. You bet half the pot and your opponent goes all-in. Do you fold or call?

In a cash game you raise three times the big blind with Aces and get two callers for a flop of 4h-5c-8c. Both check and you bet the pot, after which both call. The turn is 10d, they check and you bet the pot again, one player calls and the other now raises all-in. Do you fold, call, raise or go all-in?

In the above hand, the last player folds and the player who pushes all-in on the river for two-thirds of the pot when it comes the 7c. Do you fold or call?

ANSWERS
CALL like a flash. You’ve obviously caught someone on a bluff or weaker Ace, and can expect to be ahead 99% of the time.

FOLD. It’s hard to imagine how you can be ahead here as you are likely facing trips, a made straight or a flush draw in some combination. Get out while you can.

FOLD. Your opponent has played it like a draw throughout and the 7c completes both flush and the straight. It would take some ingenuity to end up in a situation where you could bluff here, so it’s probably best to just surrender to the inevitable and swallow your pride.
