What happened

    ONE THING TO REMEMBER

    A strong preflop hand is not an instruction to bet every later street. New cards and responses change the decision.

    TRY IT

    This is a 1-question test. Start when you are ready.

    Takeaway

    Read a hand one street at a time: current pot, board, actor, legal actions and remaining stacks. Reassess when any of them changes.
