Default Re: I Don\'t Know Enough to be a Winning Player (QUIZ)

What I do like:

Q4 (A3s) - I think the overcall with the nut flush with 3 players yet to act makes more money than raising here which will drive out the three remaining players if not the original bettor too.

Q8 (33) - I too think that a pair of threes is inadequate to attempt to isolate an aggressive player without reads. At least I wouldn't do it most the time. It feels like a bad reward to risk ratio.

Q9 - Standard punishment of blind stealer and value bet.

Q11 (76s) - Stanard free card play opportunity, especially with a potentially well concealed hand. I am surprised the author "rarely" uses the free card raise. I guess he prefers the free card fold.

Q12 (76s) - He advocates refusing to steal the blinds here. I agree, 76 doesn't meet my standards for a blind steal. It is best to randomize the blind steal attempts and the best way to do that is to pick a starting hand threshold, and if 76 meets that threshhold then it is too loose to get the right respect.

And thanks to you guys I am now happier about my 78 than if I had scored 105.
