I Don't Know Enough to be a Winning Player (QUIZ)

[tolbiny]

I got a 79- i need to practice more before i get into real games.

"i must say, i think you play well. a video next time would be good if you find it easy. but i think maybe we should talk bankroll/shots at 15/30 at some point."

Apparently stoxtrader doesn't know what hes talking about.

You know what really pisses me off? There is no wasy to contact him to tell him what a nit he is. Jesus man, people pay this guy for this?

Q1 wrong.
Q2.right
Q3 wrong
Q4 wrong
Q5 - what a stupid question- the answer depneds on what the other players do inbetween you and the raiser.
Q6. Wrong, so very wrong
Q7 Wrong so very, very wrong
Q8. right
Q9 right- hey he got 2 in a row!
Q10 debateable- but whawt a dumb ass question. Can you play a nut flush draw with 2 overs and a gutshot in a big pot with many players incorrectly?
Q11 Wrong.
Q 12 wrong "i don't like stealing blinds much" = "i don't like making money" at higher limits.
Q13 only correct if you need to change your tampon and have to rush to the bathroom, which i suspect happens a fair amount to rolf.
Q14. wrong.

Holy [censored]- in question 4- if you fold the nuts on the river you get 2 points!!! The worst possible play in holdem, and he gives you 2 points for it.

By his scoring standards but with the correct answers in order he got a 78.

The quiz was quite bad, but I definitely like the idea in itself. A quiz in the same spirit as the excellent chess book "Test Your Positional Play", where points are awarded for your decisions, and both the correct and wrong answers are discussed and important concepts are illustrated.

Such a quiz would certainly be appreciated by many; perhaps one of the Pooh-bahs could make one and have it published in the "Two Plus Two Internet Magazine" [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Nate the Great (or was it CDC, I mix them up) sort of had one in the famous "You play too tight" post. About 20 hands or so, each of which was then discussed. No points, however.

Dude, I'm home for break and have nothing to do. I'm so putting together a quiz.

I'll try to make everything stuff that's not that debateable, but I'll put some borderline stuff in there because I'm all about generating discussion.

I really liked "how good is your limit hold'em" . . . it follows a similar format with MUCH better advice [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Agreed.

You're in the big blind with Ah 3h. There have been no raises, five people see the flop Td 8h 5h. You have checked and called the flop (seat # 4 has been the bettor) and all four remaining players have checked the turn (Ks). A third heart comes on the river (9h)

if you get reraised, your hand might not even be good.

So hes afraid of a straight flush. I give his advice 0 merrit.

Ugh. Just awful. He folds AKo/s and JJ to one raise, but wants to 3bet AJs? I don't get it.
