Poker Moves: Fold, Call or (Re) Raise?

Test your poker knowledge against these two scenarios:

In the middle stages of a tournament you’re dealt A-K and raise in middle position to 3.5 big blinds, and get called by the small blind. The flop comes A-10-4 he checks and you bet two thirds of the pot. He re-raises. You both have 10-20 big blinds and you know nothing about your opponent.
Do you FOLD, CALL, (RE)RAISE or GO ALL-IN?
In a deep-stacked cash game with blinds of $5-$10, you pick up 4-4 in late position and call a small raise after two other callers. The flop comes 4-6-10, the raiser bets, one player calls and so do you. The turn is another 10 and the action is repeated. The river is a Q, the first player checks and the second player makes a substantial bet. You all have ample funds left.
Do you FOLD, CALL, or RAISE?

GO ALL-IN. You’ve hit top pair with the top kicker, but your opponent doesn’t know this and may be semi-bluffing or have a worse Ace. If he has A-10 or 4-4 good luck to him: you’re seeing this one out!

CALL. You have a strong hand, but it’s hardly unbeatable, and one of your opponents could have flopped a bigger set than you or hold Q-Q and improved at the very end. By calling you freeze the first player’s action and give yourself the option of getting away without doing your whole stack if the first player now re-raises.
