Poker quiz #1

(A) On the river, the pot is 200 and our opponent bets 100.

If we call, what percentage must we win at showdown to breakeven?

(B) Our opponent goes all-in before the flop and shows us their hand: AA.

If we are *forced* to call, which of these hands would we prefer? Explain why.

1. A9
2. A5

👇

(A) 33.3% or 1 in 3 showdowns. Your are risking $100 to win $300. 
(B) A5 because you have to catch a set or straight to win the hand. Only A5 gives you a straight draw without playing the board and chopping.
