The AK quiz

[wegs the wegs]

Forgive me if this has been posted before, I ran a quick search in this forum and could not come up with anything.

AK is either the third or fourth best hand, depending on who you are asking. Yet in my opinion there is no hand that is more difficult to play. So I decided to use my free morning to try and straighten out the confusion. Here are a series of questions involving AK and only AK. Enjoy. Discuss. Think. Cry. Whatever.

In all of your answers, please give the response that you do the majority of the time. I know tables conditions and varying personal play is everything. I just want what you people believe to be loosely defined as 'standard play'. Assume you have a full buy-in. Not all the options are exclusive but fill-in to the best of your abilities, you're smart enough to make the assumptions that I made.

But again, bottom line, enjoy.

I noticed my first mistake, the first question (which I wrote as the last one but oh well) is if you were in the BB.

[Ghazban]

Is a "full buy-in" assumed to be 100BB? Are we assuming everyone at the table has this amount as well?

[wegs the wegs]

Yes 100bb is the Buy-in, and if there is a push with less I have defined it in the question. Other than those assume stacks are even.

heh, i was about to say, "where's the fold option on this question?"

[MrTop]

agreed.

[Indiana]

ditto-From the responses I see way too much cold calling. Read Sklansky( I know its limit) and he will chastise that.

[amoeba]

fold should be an option on number 5.

this is a terrible quiz. you absolutely must give STACKS. playing info, tourney vs cash is also important
