Poker Question From UB

You are thinking of hitting Vegas for some of the WSOP 2009 action but want to practice a bit on UltimateBet first. You find a nice six max game going on and sit yourself down. In this hand you see very quickly a loose player limping in from early position. Then you catch one of the regular UB players raising to $10 from the button. When the small blind folds, you decide “what the heck” and call. Then you watch with anticipation as the flop hits 4h Td 8h. What should you do?

Bet?
Check-Raise?
or Check-Call?

Answer Below!

Answer:

Bet. The best plan of attack is to bet - start trying to build the pot with the goal of getting other players to raise behind you. If you check in this instance, this flop is going to get checked through more often than not. If there’s no bet on the flop, you’ll never be able to increase your stack to where you want it to be by the end of the hand.
