  1. i think if you're gonna be playing an A-10 from pre-flop and your ace hits, you gotta play it. What else were you hoping to hit? a 10? if you're gonna fold if your ace hits, you might as well have folded pre-flop. you have to make the decision on pre-flop round if your 10 kicker is good or not. Its a bitch play to see the flop with the ace 10 and fold if it hits, meaning the only way you planned on winnign the hand was to hit your 10 and have it be top pair which isn't gonna happen too often. if you were gonna back down after the ace hits, you might as well have folded the hand if you real
  2. I wrote a perfect information quiz in the quiz section of this forum. I recently posted the solutions, and i'm interested to hear what you think of the quiz. Also, i'm hoping you could help me get similar quizes published in poker magazines. It's called Perfect Information Quiz (experts only). If you could take a minute out of your busy day to have a look at the quiz and give me some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
  3. Thank you to everyone who took the time to look at my quiz. Here are the answers that i've come up with, which should be accurate. If anyone has a different proof or sees an error in my calculations or line of thought, i would be interested to see an alternative method.Solutions[ Hint: Player 1 becomes pot committed (will call any size bet if he does not hit on the turn) if he calls a bet greater than $415 on the flop. ]After the turn card comes up, if Player 1 hits one of his many draws, he will raise all in making Player 2 fold and win whatever money is in the pot on the turn. If Player 1
  4. you're very close actually. The key to the question is that player 1 has the 60-40 advantage, but that assumes that he gets to see both turn and river cards. The chances of him hitting on the turn is only 38%, and then if he misses, then there's a 39% chance to hit the river. So because of this, player 2 is actually able to extract value by having a bet on the flop, and then moving all in on the turn if the draw misses, or folding if it hits. I'll wait a few more replies hopefully before i post the full solutions. thanks for taking the time to do the quiz...... peace
  5. Correction for Question #7. 7. If Player 1 bets all in ($2000), Player 2 should…(a) Call(B) FoldThanks for the reply Bertuzzi. You've got the right idea in some cases. You got 4/7 right. To give you something to think about, the answer to question 8 is actually © $400. Meaning also that the right answer is to call the bet of $400 for question 3. 8. © Because it is the only bet value of the ones listed where Player 1 actually loses money in the long run by making this bet and this bet has a higher expected profit for Player 2 than any of the other bets.With both players playing the hand c
  6. Player 1 and Player 2 have $2000 in chips.Pot Size: $100Player 1: 10 - 7 of diamondsPlayer 2: 9 of clubs, 2 of diamondsFlop: 9 of diamonds, 8 of clubs, 3 of diamondsWin/Loss Percentages: Player 1: 60.2%, Player 2: 39.8%Both players can see each others hands and any subsequent plays by Player 1 will be mathematically perfect.From the perspective of Player 2 in a No Limit Texas Hold’em game:Questions1.

  7. Mathematically speaking, you should call with the 8,7 suited if you think you have at least a 41.67% chance of winning the pot. Obviously it is the correct fold if Antonio holds a high pocket pair, has him dominated, etc. But, even if Antonio held a hand as strong as Ace, King off suit (no diamond), you have a 41.9 % chance to win which is enough to make the call profitable (barely). There are relatively few hands Antonio could hold where your winning percentage will be below 41.67% compared to the vast number of hands where the winning percentage would be above 41.67% and a similar all in pla
