How strong is my hand?

·    In relation to the board texture?
·    What was the action pre-flop, flop, and from which players (player types and weak spots)?
·    What will be the action based on the handranges of the opposition and what is the probability that he has a draw or made hand?
·    How is my position and how many players are seeing the turn?
·    What does the action look like behind/before me?

Action and reactions:

(in relation to hand strength, action position (oop, ip), opponent type, odds/outs, pot size)
Questions in this context could be:

·    How great is the chance that I'm ahead?
·    Did the turncard complete any possible draws or open new ones?
·    Why and with what might the opposition have called the flop?
·    Will the opposition fold to just one bet?
·    Do I need to protect my made hand or can I risk a freecard?
·    Is the opposition tricky, for example prone to making semi-bluffs?
·    What is the chance that the opposition raises with a worse hand?
·    What is the chance that the opposition raises with a better hand?
·    Can I make an easy call/fold/reraise against a raise?
·    What does my opponent think my hand range is?
·    Is the opposition able to think about both my hand and his own on a metalevel (I think that you think that I think...)
repertoir of actions:
