Tournament Theory Quiz

It`s in the first level of a big tournament. The blinds are 25-50 and all players start with 10.000 in chips. You are dealt the 4H 4C in first position. You don`t really know much about the other players at the table, what should you do?
	Raise
	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.

It is the ending stages of a big tournament. You have a nice stack of $150.000 which is above the average of about $120.000. The blinds are $1500 / $3000 and there is an ante of $150 for each player. It is folded around to the player in the cutoff seat (one from the button) who raises to $6000. This is a super-aggressive young player which is capable of playing any two cards. You are in the Big Blind with the AQ. What do you do?
	Call
	Raise
	Fold

A moderately skilled poker player who loses a hand to a beginner who played the hand poorly and then berate the beginner by calling him an idiot probably does so because
	It's just a stage that beginners have to go through; unless you're a poker savant, you are an idiot when you begin
	The moderately skilled player doesn't understand the difference between intelligence and experience, or doesn't understand that his outburst could easily cost him money, or both.
	The moderately skilled player is frustrated by his bad luck and the outburst is both expected and accepted by virtually all experienced players.
	All of the above.

It is late in an online single table tournament. You have an average stack of about $2000 and the blinds are $30/$60. 3 players call and in the SB you look down at 9 3 suited. What should you do?
	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

Deals that split up most or all of the prize money in a manner other than the structure proposed by tournament officials are not that uncommon because:
	Many unethical players use deals as a way of ganging up on unsuspecting beginners. Very few players know the correct mathematical formula for calculating a deal so someone who does can usually obtain an advantage.
	Very few players know the correct mathematical formula for calculating a deal so someone who does can usually obtain an advantage.
	The stakes get so high at the end of a tournament that there is more gambling and less poker playing at precisely the time the most prize money is on the line.
	The difference in prize money between fifth, sixth, and seventh places usually is not very large.

It is at the early stages of a Texas Hold`em No Limit Multi Table tournament and you have built your stack up from the starting bank of $1500 to $1800. The blinds have moved up to $30/$60 and you have just been moved to a new table when the following hand occurs. You pick up JJ in middle position. It is folded to you and you raise 4xBB to $240. The player right next to you now moves all in for a total of $1700 chips. What do you do?
	Call
	Fold
	Run away from the tournament in frustration

Mike Caro's Book of Tells is most useful because
	It alerts you to various forms of body language that tend to indicate strength or weakness, and you can then extrapolate from those tendencies with your own observations to create even more precise data.
	It offers photographs of specific tells and gives you the precise percentage of reliability that each tell has against players of different ability levels.
	It makes it easy for you to fool other players by using "reverse tells" (acting the opposite of the way the book's pictures indicate you should look in a given situation).
	It was useful when it was first published, but now that the information has been widely distributed, it actually isn't very useful anymore.

You are in middle position with pocket tens. One player has limped into the pot and you decide to raise about four times the size of the big blind. Two players call behind you, the blinds fold, and the original limper also calls your raise. The flop comes JS 10S 4H. You have flopped a set, but there are possible straight and flush draws out against you. The first player makes a pot-sized bet. He’s loose as a goose and calls a lot. The two players who haven’t acted yet are both solid players. What is your best play?
	Call
	Fold
	Raise

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

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.

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

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.

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 the size of the pot. The other two players fold to you. What’s your play?
	Call
	Fold

You open the pot for a standard raise with A-Q offsuit from middle position. A solid player on the button calls your raise. The flop comes AS JH 7C. You lead out with a pot-sized bet and your opponent makes a big reraise. What is 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.

You are in the big blind with pocket kings. Everyone folds to the small blind, who raises. A loose and aggressive player, he often makes bad calls and frequently bluffs after the flop. What is your best play?
	Fold
	Call
	Raise

The correct mathematical formula to ascertain a fair deal settlement, with the exception of situations when one player has very few chips or almost all the chips, is
	Add up all the remaining prize money, and then divide that prize money in accordance with what percentage of the chips each player in contention holds.
	Add up all the remaining prize money, then subtract the amount each player in the deal would be guaranteed to win if he were the next person out of the tournament, then divide the remainder in accordance with what percentage of the chips each player in co
	Add up all the remaining prize money, subtract the money guaranteed to the third place finisher, then divide the remainder in accordance with what percentage of the chips each player in contention holds.
	None of the above.

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.
