Bet, Check, or Fold?

Question

I'm holding a Q(s) and 10(d), the flop is J(s), A(h) and 5(c). What do I do?

Answer 1

You need to give us much more information.

How many people saw the flop?

What was the action pre-flop?

Are you on the button or in position? or in the blinds?

What style are the players at your table?

Answer 2

NO where near enough info to answer this.

Answer 3

You have garbage, fold to any decent sized bet.  If you can see another card for a min. bet or for free, try and hit your K for a straight.

I hope you didn't have to call much of a bet pre-flop with that.  Q-10 is a pretty weak starting hand.

Answer 4

Depends on the table...bluff if you think you can take down the pot right there, check if you're at a table with a bunch of maniacs and then hope to see a cheap turn, fold if someone is betting crazy.  You have a gut shot with 4 chances of hitting...16-17% chance with the turn and river to come.  Figure your pot odds and consider the table you're on.

Answer 5

Many factors to consider here.  As you're not presenting a lot of info here and I can assume you're relatively new, your best bet is probably to check and see what the rest of the table does.  With the Ace and Jack on the table it's likely there's at least a pair of As or Js out there somewhere and someone is likely to bet them.  The only thing you have is an inside straight draw and there's little chance you're going to make it.  Unless you can get away with calling a single, MINIMAL bet (in other words, calling as cheaply as possible,) or you're lucky enough to get a free look at the turn card, fold it to any bet or raise.  You have four outs (the Kings) to make your hand and that's it.  Your hand is a dog.

Answer 6

Generally, I would check and try to see the turn and river hoping to hit the straight.  I would fold if faced with a raise of any significance unless the read on an opponent tells me he is bluffing or the pot odds justify calling.

Answer 7

Check to see if you can get lucky and hit your straight.
