A New Quiz!

[KaiShin]

1. Raise.

I think its close, but I want to play this hand, and I have something against openlimping in MP.

2. Raise.

If one of the LAGs raises behind me and knocks everyone else out, so much the better.

3. Call.

I've come to love QT/KT.

4. Call.

I'd fold with J7s, J8s is borderline but with at least 4 seeing the flop, possibly 6, I think we can give it a spin here.

5. Call.

I think my VPIP is 100 so far.

6. Raise.

I'd like to try and get a 3-way pot here, plus the button, so I like a raise.

7. Fold.

Wow I folded something.

8. I raise 75% of the time, limp 25% of the time.

[Russ McGinley]

1. Fold. I want to play this multi-way with position. I might raise in the CO or button, though.

2. Raise. I definitely want the good player out of my way and if I get HU or 3-handed with some LAGs, fine.

3. Call. This is a pretty easy limp on the button. Raising would be a good option if it were sooted.

4. Call. Fairly standard.

5. Call. Not much difference between this hand and hand #4.

6. Fold. I don't want to get raised by the button and have to play this junk OOP for two bets. If someone is raising you in position all the time you need to tighten up and stop limping with KTo and other trash/problem hands, or move seats/change tables. Raising is okay to win the button but if he 3-bets, I hate myself.

7. Fold. There is no reason to play this hand.

8. Raise somewhere around 70-75% of the time.

Hand 1
MP3 - Unknown
CO - Too tight, aggressive
Button - LA-P
Blinds - Unknown, seem loose-passive
Folded to you in MP2 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

There aren't a lot of players left to act behind you.. CO will probably fold. Ideally you'd want to limp and have everyone else limp, blinds complete/check. Button is LA, if he raises you'll be HU with a great drawing hand. Easy fold.

Hand 2
2 LAGs and some fish and a solid playe round out the action behind you
Folded to you in MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I don't like AT, I might raise it, but I don't like the loosies behind me. I'll be OOP against a LAG and multiple fish when they likely call. Unless it gets down to just me and the blinds. I fold.

Hand 3
58/6.5 limps UTG, as do a LP fish, a LAG, and a semi-loose calling station
You have Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the button.

I'd be the 5th limper, the SB probably completes getting 13:1, BB probably won't raise.. For 6:1 I'll limp in and see a flop..

Hand 4
Same LAG, and calling station from previous hand limp to you in the CO. The blinds are a tight player, and a moran.
You have J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Fold.. Even if I pair up, it probably won't be enough to pull this one down. I don't value the fact that they're suited since it's a 2-gapper..

Hand 5
Decent player and 69/3 Fish limp in EP, the same blinds are behind you as in hand 4.
You're in the CO again with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] this time.

Fold, same reasons as hand 4.

Hand 6
Super Loose EP, is joined by his LP twin. Button has been bullying you a little, and the SB and BB are a little loose and a good player respectively.
CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

2 loosies limped so far? If I think I can buy the button I might raise this one. If EP/LP are really just random hands, I have a good chance of beating em.

Hand 7
A 36/9 with seemingly no deep understanding of position open-raises in MP1. Cold-called by a horribly loose player in the SB.
You have 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB

36/9 is raising about the right amount of hands, so I'll give him credit for an actual raise-worthy hand, ie 99-AA, KQ, AJ-AK. ONLY the sb calls?? So I'm getting 5:1 with suited garbage, OOP against the raiser? No thanks, Fold..

Hand 8
UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] This is more of a breakdown than a play. How often do you raise, how often do you call. Don't fold.

I raise that appx. 100% of the time. Hopefully I can get trashy aces to fold. KJ are high enough to win a good chunk of the time when they pair up, if I isolate and 1-2 villains to the flop, I have great pair value. If the table is loose, then I have good drawing value. As long as nobody 3bets, I'll be happy raising KJs every time. If someone does, I better get a draw or I'm probably out.

[McGahee]

Wow I guess I need to loosen up. I might limp hands 3 & 4 and muck everything else, except for KJs of course.

[MrWookie47]

Hand 1 - I'd probably fold, but I might raise.

Hand 2 - raise

Hand 3 - limp

Hand 4 - limp

Hand 5 - limp, but I might fold

Hand 6 - raise

Hand 7 - getting 5:1 against morans is tempting. You'll flop a flush draw or two pair about 13% of the time, and the chance of trips makes that a little bit better. If you hit, can you make up a few SB? I think so. I call.

Edit: Forgot hand 8. I raise every time in good games, and about 50/50 in tougher games.

[@bsolute_luck]

First: isn't it funny how people view and play different hands? Poker is so fun [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] i had some difficulty doing this quiz because i waffle between answers. i'll try to pick one, but on some i'll list 2 before giving a final answer. but i may go back and forth depending because i do better playing according to reads when in game instead of reading them...anyways, on with the quiz!


Hand 1 Folded to you in MP2 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Raise or Fold. Raise because i think enough will call to make the hand worth it and I hate open-limping most of the time [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hand 2 Folded to you in MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Raise or Fold. Raise to hopefully thin the field via the LAGs 3-betting

Hand 3 4 limpers. You have Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the button.

Fold. I get in trouble when my Q pairs and it gets expensive, but with discipline and position on the hand, i could let it go if it misses. So i can limp too.

Hand 4 Possible 5-handed. You have J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Limp. straight and flush possibles. easy hand to get away from if flop goes sour in IMHO.

Hand 5 You're in the CO again with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] this time.

Limp.

Hand 6 CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Raise or Fold. I raise if I can thin the field. If I think the players behind me would all call, I'll fold.

Hand 7 2-handed. You have 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB

Fold. Not worth the risk IMHO.

Hand 8

UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] This is more of a breakdown than a play. How often do you raise, how often do you call. Don't fold.
umm...a lot [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] 80%/20% i guess.

[sungod]

#1: Doesn't seem like you get to get both multiway action and to see the flop for one bet. So I'll fold.

#2: I raise.

#3: I would normally just call this, but here raising seems like a good thing to when looking at the opponents.

#4: I fold.

#5: Limp

#6: Limp

#7: Fold

#8: Really depends on the other players and what I feel for. UTG I've mostly limped, but I aim for raising more preflop and this is one of the hands I'll probably raise more often.

[jnh24]

Hand 1: Limp
Hand 2: Fold. I'd raise from MP3.
Hand 3: Limp
Hand 4: Fold. I may call if I'm tilting
Hand 5: Limp, occasionaly pop it.
Hand 6: Fold
Hand 7: Call
Hand 8: Im about 50-50 raise-limp

[Wetdog]

1) Limp in, call CO raise, fold if it's 3-bet. I want to see a flop cheaply with this.

2) Raise. Not a hand I want to go multi-way with.

3) Limp, put pillows in back pocket, prepare to get ass kicked.

4) Fold. I'm not going to a gunfight with only a dull knife.

5) Fold.

6) Raise. I'm not afraid of bullies, but I'll deal with the BB if he calls, or if Button raises and BB calls 2.

7) Fold. I don't care what MP1 has. See #4.

8) I'm about 1/2 and half on this UTG. It depends on my reads of LPs.

[zuluking]

These are so much fun. Again, I haven't looked ahead.

1-Fold
2-Raise
3-Call
4-Fold
5-Fold
6-Call
7-Fold
8-Raise it all the time.

How'd I do?
