Here is some different NLTH heads upp hands, where you quite simply need to find out which of them, if no one, or both should go all inn before the flop. I will show u both hands. (If you ever feel you know what your opponent has, it is a good idea to know if you should go all inn)

I won't write suited/unsuited on pairs, since 1 deck is used here:

1: AA -VS- AK suited
2: JJ -VS- AK UNsuited
3: 47 UNsuited -VS- 56 suited
4: 38 suited -VS- 22
5: 2A UNsuited -VS- 7Q suited
6: 24 suited -VS- 33

And heres some 3 player games (Still 1 deck):

7: AA - AA - 89 suited
8: AA - KQ suited - 23 UNsuited
9: 3K UNsuited - 25 UNsuited - 78 suited
10: 23 suited - 24 UNsuited - 34 UNsuited

I find number 1 very easy, AA all inn and AK suited fold.
However, i find number 7 very hard. Should AA and AA go all inn, so they can split 89 suited's chips if he feel to join? Or should perhaps 89 suited go all inn to since there is about 1/3 for a straight, flush or two pairs to apear? Perhaps even 3 of a kind? Or should no one go all inn?
I hope you an help me whit the rest, if you have an idea.

(This is some hard mindbreakers)

I don't find any of these difficult. I used to play around with stove a lot when I was really learning the game, and I've always been a sucker for stuff like this. 3 way hands do tend to trip people up a bit though.

Your post reminds me of a series of poker quizzes I put on the Zynga boards about random mathematical facts pertaining to poker. Maybe I should paste those here and see if CC does any better than they did.

No Limit Texas Hold'em I assume? I have only seen it as "NLHE."

89 has 25% equity vs AA and AA and would get 2:1 odds to call, so he should fold. You just need to get a free equity calculator and play around with it.

Unless of course NLTH does not stand for Texas Hold'em. In that case, ignore my post.

I just googled it. Turns out it's Nasopharyngeal Lymphatic Tissue Hypertrophy, so yeah ignore Dareka's post.

Also turns out an inn is a business that offers a place of rest.

Everyone gets all-in.
AA: +13.2
AA: +13.2
98s: -26.4

One AA folds:
AA: +0
AA: +49.4
98s: -49.4
(This is

Both AA get all-in, 98s folds:
AA: +0
AA: +0
98s: +0

Not exactly mind-boggling. Players will AA will always be willing to shove with perfect information in this spot because they have nothing to lose regardless of who else calls or folds. The player with 98s and perfect information, in this spot, will always fold because they never win and always lose. It should be noted, that if 98s were all-in before he found out that both players had AA, he should want both of them to call. He still loses money in that situation but he has a higher EV with them both in.


These questions really aren't challenging. It takes a few seconds to plug them into an equity calculator.:tee:
