to
Holdem Quiz:
1)
B.
Holdem is a positional game. Not all hands are
playable from every position. You need a much stronger hand to play
from early
position than you do from late position. If you play a weak hand in
early
position you may be raised or re-raised by the players acting after
you.
2) C.
When you start suited you will only make a flush about
5 percent of the time. The biggest mistake made by many novice players
is
playing any suited cards from any position.
3) B.
Pot odds are the relationship between the current bet
and the current size of the pot. If the pot had $20 and the bet is $5
you are
getting 4 to 1 pot odds. If you were drawing to an inside straight with
one
card to come, the odds of making the hand is 10.5 to 1. If you were
only
getting 4 to 1 in pot odds you are not getting correct odds to make the
call.
4) A.
Fold. There are three other players and there are over
cards (cards higher than your 10) on the board. Your tens are beat and
you
won’t be getting the correct odds to call the bet.
5) C. You
should only slow play when you have the nuts (best
hand that can’t be beaten) or near nut hand. You don’t want to give a
player a
free card by checking when they might draw a card that can beat you.
You want
to win big pots so if the pot is already big go for it and bet your
hand.

6) B.
Fold your small pair. Players in limit games tend to
over value small pairs because they see them as a coin flip during the
televised No Limit tournaments. When you have a small pair the odds of
flopping
a set are 7.5 to 1 against you. You are not getting the correct odds to
cold
call a raise and re-raise.
7) C.
Fold. Even if the original raiser had two clubs and
was on a flush draw, the big blind check-raised which could mean a set
(3 of kind)
or a pair higher that your tens. You don’t have enough outs to call a
double
raise with this hand.
8) A.
Raise. There is a chance that one of the other players
might have a single ace with a small kicker. Re-raising may get the big
blind
or other caller to fold. You have two pair but there are two spades on
the
board. If a third spade comes on the turn you can call the bet.
If a spade doesn’t come
you should re-raise
if there is a bet on the turn.

9) B.
You should bet. You don’t want to play a small set.
Since there is only one high card on the board the chances of the other
players
checking is greater. You can get more money in the pot by betting as
players
with overcards may call to see the turn.
10) B.
In Texas Holdem a good player will earn the amount
of 1-2 big blinds an hour. With a bank roll of 350 times the amount of
the big
blind a good player can be fairly sure of not going broke. A bad player
on the
other hand could have an unlimited bankroll and still go broke.
This
does not
mean you bring your whole bankroll with you to play. You session
bankroll will
be much smaller but you must play within your means and more
importantly within
your skill level.
To conclude this Holdem Quiz, some words to play by:
You don’t have to be the best player in
the world to win at
poker. You just need to be better than your opponents.
