You Make the Call

- - - During the early stages of a tourney, Carlos Mortensen raises pre-flop and Evelyn Ng calls. Mortensen then asks for his 2nd card from the dealer. - - - I sent this to several friends and all responded by asking how the hand played out. The above was all the info that was provided by Cardplayer so I'm unable to answer that. Let's walk through how the hand likely played out and throw out a range of hands, to borrow a phrase from Matt Matros. Mortensen being Mortensen, at least the player shown on TV, could have had any single card in the hole. Instant instinct is to predict he had an ace in his hand, a logical guess; though with Mortensen, he could be just as likely to raise with the 2 of diamonds for example. Your thoughts?    - farfel
