Hmm, I only know "a little?" Sure I missed the part about player types up top, but I thought I knew slightly more than just a little. Oh well.

well I don't know how different the 5/10 is, but it looks like I won't be ready for that game for awhile.

I got 83 points. I'm still not sure why I have to assume that a pro always has a "real" hand, but maybe I'll learn that later. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Folding JJ against a raise from a standard player, folding AKs against a raise from a good player -- all of this advice seems weak-tight. Is it just me?

I'm sure this "quiz" will get hammered for poor advice but I didn't think it was that bad.

#6,#7 and #13 seem to be the answers that shocked me the most.

I don't think I would ever fold JJ to a raise and a cold call. I think the author is forgetting just how often you will get a flop of rags. The cold caller certainly doesn't have a big pair and it is more likely that the PFR'r doesn't as well. Folding is a mistake in my opinion.

Not re-raising with AK and AKs is also considered a mistake by most serious players.

#1 The answer is fine. I voted call but I believe an arguement can be made for fold. It certainly won't cost you oodles of money if you consistantly fold in this situation.

#3 Is an endless debate question. I believe it's a raise or fold, most everyone agrees that limping is the worst choice.

#12 I know stealing is recommended and since I've never played in a 10/20 game I can't speak to this one, but I have read that stealing is very important in higher stakes so I'm betting that most higher stakes players would advocate stealing with a suited connector in this situation.

I thought the scenarios were good and they all weren't "no brainers" by any means. I think I agreed with the rest of the answers. I might be forgetting one or two.

I think the worst thing was the question where he pointed out the possibility of the original better having a straight flush (by saying your ace high flush might not be good). (The only hand that could be yours is the 67 of hearts. I liked his advice, looking for overcalls or a re-raise with so many players in the pot, but planning for the likelihood of a straight flush is just crazy.

This guy is paranoid.

Yeah 6,7, and 13 are absolutely terrible. I don't agree with 14 at all either.

Stealing is important, however 76s is a really poor hand here. I'd much rather have K6s. The connectedness matters very little in this situation, but the highcard is important.

Here's some good quizzes. Oddly enough, the advice in them doesn't conflict with the books you've probably read.

#4 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).

I want to answer:

Other: Why am I check-calling the flop when there are so many players involved. Bet-3Bet!
