A-T -- Big blind

This is the same situation the one of the previous page, but reversed. Two limpers, the small blind, and you see the flop. The flop is Ah Js 4h. What factors do you consider?

• Cards. You have top pair with a pretty good kicker. Not bad.
• Action. There was no pre-flop aggression. You have to think you have the best hand.
• Odds. You're ahead here. You want to push the advantage.
