Tournament Theory Quiz

When playing money poker, the most you can expect to win in a given evening in a given game is probably
	Roughly equal to the amount that could/should be your biggest loss in a given evening in that particular game.
	Only one half to one third as much as you might lose in a night, in part because of the rake but much more because you can go on tilt and lose a fortune but you can't go on 'anti-tilt' and win a fortune.
	Two to three times as much as you make your maximum loss, assuming you employ an intelligent stop-loss system.
	None of the above.

Is in the middle stages of a Multi Table Tournament. You have 4300 chips, the blinds are 100-200. A crazy player in first position is the chip leader and holds 11.000 chips . He makes a raise to 500. The next player then moves all in for 1890 chips. You look down at K K. What do you do?
	Fold
	Call
	Move all in

It is in the middle stages of a Multi Table Tournament. You have 8500 chips, about 2000 above average. The blinds are 150-300. Everybody folds to you in the cutoff seat and you look down at A A. What should you do?
	Call
	Raise small
	Raise large

The "classic" advice to keep playing when you are winning a lot, so long as the game stays good, but to leave if the bad players leave, is flawed or at least incomplete
	Because when you have won a lot, you should get out of the game before you can lose anything back.
	Because if you are winning a lot, you are so hot that you should stay in the game even if the bad players leave and are replaced by tough players.
	Because if you have a clear historical tendency to play too loosely after you get way ahead, and lose chips back, you probably shouldn't buck the historical trend.
	Because if you have gotten lucky early, the law of averages makes it likely that you will be unlucky later in the session, so you should leave whether the game stays "good" or not.

Two players have called from early position. You are in middle position with the 9C 8C. You decide to also just call. Two other players sitting behind you also call, as do both blinds, making a total of seven players in the pot. The flop is the 9D 8S 2D. You have flopped the top two pair. The blinds check, the first limper makes a pot-sized bet, and the second limper calls the bet. Now, the action is up to you, and you still have two players yet to act after you. What is your best play?
	Call
	Fold
	Make a big raise

You are dealt the AD JD in late position. Two other players have limped into the pot and you also decide to limp in. The small blind calls and the big blind checks. The flop comes with the 9D 7D 4D. You have flopped the nuts! Both blinds check, the first limper bets about half the size of the pot, and the second limper folds. Now, it is up to you. What’s your best play?
	Call
	Fold
	Raise

The "classic" advice to keep on playing even if you are losing a lot, so long as the game conditions appear favorable, is flawed or at least incomplete because
	If you are losing a lot, you are vulnerable to going on tilt, and if you go on tilt, you will likely lose a lot more.
	If you are losing a lot, the other players in the game will tend not to fear you and it will be very difficult to win hands with bets or raises; you'll have to show down the goods, and it's harder to win if you can't steal a pot here and there.
	If you are losing a lot, there is at least a chance that you have misread game conditions, and that the game really isn't as favorable as you think.
	All of the above.

Why is Kenny Rogers' classic musical advice about not counting your chips at the table actually bad advice for tournament players?
	It actually isn't bad advice for tournament players, but it is considered bad form in money games.
	If you take the time to count out your chips, you won't be using that time to study your opponents and might miss some important tell.
	If someone pushes all-in on you, you're allowed to stop and count your chips then anyway, so there?s no reason to do it at other times.
	Knowledge of precisely how big your stack is, both relative to what par is for that stage of a tournament, and how big it is compared to the players you're facing, can alter your raise-call-fold strategy in many tournament situations.

You are on the button with the AD 5D. Two players have limped into the pot in front of you. You also limp in, and so do both of the blinds. The flop comes with the AC 9H 2C. The small blind checks, and the big blind, known as a tight and conservative player bets out the size of the pot. The two next players fold. What do you do?
	Call
	Fold

If you notice that a player on the opposite side of the table is unintentionally exposing his cards to the players next to him, you should
	Politely ask the player or dealer to stop the practice.
	Try to get a seat change next to the card flasher so you can benefit from his carelessness.
	Politely ask the players next to the card flasher not to look at their neighbor's cards.
	Ignore the other side of the table and try to see if you can get any glimpses of hole cards from your own neighbors.

You are in the cutoff seat with the KH QH. There are three limpers in the pot and you decide to join them by also limping. The button folds and both blinds call, giving you the advantage of having last action after the flop. The flop comes JS 10D 5C. Everyone checks to you. You have two overcards to the flop and an open-end straight draw. What is the best play?
	Check
	Bet your draw because everyone has shown weakness by checking

Again you are dealt the 4H 4C, this time you sit in second position and the blinds have increased to 150-300. There are several aggressive players at the table sitting behind you, what’s your best play?
	Raise
	Call
	Fold

If you know you are one of the weaker players in a no-limit hold'em tournament, your strategy probably should be to
	Not bother entering because no-limit is the highest skill game and you'll have virtually no chance to win and not much more chance to get into the money.
	Guard your chips carefully, making sure you don't risk all of them in one pot unless you have an overwhelmingly strong hand, and try to build your stack slowly.
	Pick out the player at your table you think is the weakest, other than you, and play hands against him even if your cards are fairly weak.
	Be willing to play very aggressively and push tiny edges, and be perfectly willing to play a number of ?coin flip hands in an attempt to double up your stack.

An aggressive player at your table has been losing steadily and is obviously on tilt. He is overbetting the pot both before and after the flop, trying to get unstuck. You both have lots of chips on the table. He is the first one in the pot and fires in a raise of about 10 times the size of the big blind. Everyone has folded and you are in the big blind with pocket sevens. You think you have the best hand. What is your best play?
	Fold
	Call
	Raise, and possibly even move all in

You are in middle position with the JH 10H. Two players have limped into the pot and you limp, also. Everybody else folds to a very aggressive player on the button. He fires out a raise of about eight times the size of the big blind. The blinds fold, the first limper calls, and the second limper folds. Now, it’s up to you to act. What is your best play?
	Call
	Fold
	Raise

You are playing in an online one-table Sit & Go tournament. All players started with $1000 in chips and you have had a great start, running your chips up to a total of $3400. Seven players are left and the blinds are 30/60 when you look down at QJ in first position. Two players behind you are very aggressive players and the Big Blind is the kind of player who likes to defend his blind. What do you do?
	Call
	Fold
	Raise

If you know for a fact that you are vulnerable to tilt and loss of emotional control in any one given poker session, but you're capable of accepting numerous small losses as long as the promise of a big win exists, you should probably
	Focus more on tournaments than on money play.
	Focus more on money play than on tournaments.
	Play tournaments and money games in roughly equal proportions.
	This is a trick question because the conditions set up have little or nothing to do with the issue of whether you should focus on money or tournament play.

Lending money to players you know is a bad idea because
	It might create an awkward situation if someone else in the game asks to borrow money.
	It might create an awkward situation if that same player repays you and then asks you for another, bigger loan later on.
	You might be inadvertently making it easier for your friend/acquaintance to lose more than he or she was originally prepared to lose for the night.
	All of the above.

When you win a pot with an uncalled bet, showing the other players that you did indeed have a strong hand is
	A good idea, because they will respect your bets from then on and assume that you only bet when you have a good hand.
	A good idea, because it creates an implied obligation for the other players to show their uncalled hands to you.
	A bad idea, because you risk losing curiosity calls, and also because you might be confirming an opponent's read on you, allowing him to know he can correctly judge when you are strong.
	A bad idea, because it's considered poor poker etiquette, one of the reasons why you almost never see Yes professional players showing cards unnecessarily.

It is in the middle stages of a Texas Hold`em No Limit Multi Table tournament and you have built your stack up from $1000 to $3000. The players on your table are playing very aggressive. With the blinds at $50/$100 a player opens in middle position for $300. The player on the button re-raises to $900. The button is the only player at the table that has more chips than you. You have As Qd in the BB. What do you do?
	Call
	Raise
