Poker Quiz: how would you play these online/ Long*

[PokerHorse]

In an effort to move on beyond the strident posting below, here is a "Quiz", if you will, that was presented to me by a very successful middle limit player , who also happened to be a prop and Pro player here in sunny Ca.
It is not so much a quiz that contains absolute right or wrong answers as it was his idea to get me to see what my general tendencies in certain situations were at the table.
At that time (roughly 9-10 years ago) I had been playing for almost the same/ 9 years and I was not making much money.I was slightly above break-even. I asked for help... he gave me a little quiz and I found out some things that have helped me to be consistently profitable, way beyond what I expected since.My reading of players improved dramatically since looking at my own game.
I will present some situations here .The answers should be simply, as an example: flop- bet/ turn-check-raise/ river-bet. There needs to be no explanation as to why.
we all know that what you might do in a certain situation can change based on your opponents. But What I'm looking for
is your general approach that you would take. Therefore there is no absolute right or wrong, but I will post what the gemeral tendency should be,based on what this player told me.
the actual quiz that I was given is slightly different, but the lessons I learned will relate here as well. okay
Maybe we will get some of the very successful online players here, to play, and we can all learn. anyway,
again, please basic answers like , check/ raise flop, bet the turn, reraise if raised etc thanks It doesnt matter what you think of me, this is for your game, I'm not grading or going to make comments on anyones answers .i will simply relate the answer s and philosophy given to me. It helped my game, so maybe it will help some of you.Although I wont comment on other players answers I expect that you guys will.

#1) You are in the big blind with 8-8. An early player limps, middle player limps, cut-off and button limp,
small blindfolds, you get free ride. 5 players FLOP- Kd-8h--3c
your'e first to act- You:

2) you are the Big Blind. Same exact scenario as #1. You get a free ride.5 players your hand is 7-k off suit Flop is
Q-7-7 rainbow. you are first to act:

3)You limp from early posistion with 7-7. All fold to the button who raises, the small blind calls, big blind folds. 3 players. Flop-A-7-8 rainbow. The small blind bets- you:

4) You are in the small blind with k-10 suited middle player limps, all fold to you, you call .bb checks 3 players. FLOP- Q-4-7 Your first:

5)You limp in early posisition with K-Q offsuit.all fold to cutoff who raises. all others fold. you call 2 players.
Flop J-4-4 you-

This is enough for now. I hope you'll play

You're an idiot, why would I waste my time on your quiz?

[MicroBob]

all-right...whatever, i'll play.
i can't resist getting sucked-in and showing off my super-LAG tendencies.

these are semi-decent example-hands imo.
i can say this because i am SURE i am misapplying different SSHE concepts here.

i am not at all comfortable with most of my decisions here.

this post would be much better in the ML or SS forum btw.


#1) i might consider raising PF here actually.
on the flop....i'll bet/re-raise at it at most tables and just play it as fast as anyone will let me. hope someone has a king.
legit argument to be made for waiting to pop this one. but i like scoring the bets from as many players as i can NOW.


2) i'll bet at this one too.

3) short-handed pot. i'll call here and hope to raise the turn.

4) i would definitely raise this PF actually.
i'll bet at it here and see if anyone has a Q.

5) i usually raise this PF also. depending on what i think of the raiser and the table i might bet at this flop too.

Is this quiz for one table of $3-$6? The reason I ask is because if I am playing six tables of $3-$6 I have to adjust my answer because I would be playing in an $18-$36 game. The players are much tougher at $18-$36.

[MicroBob]

the rake is a smaller percentage of each pot on that 18/36 game.

hah, see im tryin to move on here if you cant then you probably cant get past a bad beat at the table. why not play and maybe we can learn something from you?

[PokerHorse]

thanks i know, i'm just trying to get things calmed down if thats possible

[PokerHorse]

well i guarantee you will read my response wont you? so it will give you a chance to show me what an idiot i am, i guess. Why not play? i'm certainly not going to criticize you the way you are me.
