Question 1 of 10
1. Question
Players: 9
Blinds: 50/100
Your stack: 3,000
Your hand: A♣-Q♠It’s early in a $20 online tournament and you raise to 300 with A-Q in the cutoff. The button, a big fish, calls and the other players fold. The flop is A♦-3♦-8♣. You bet 500 and the fish raises to 1,000. What should you do?
CorrectA common characteristic among fish is that they overvalue the strength of their hands. In this example you shouldn’t be surprised to see a weaker player overplay a hand you are crushing, like A-T or A-J. Combine this with the flush draw on the flop and it’s an easy shove with a hand as strong as A-Q.

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
Players: 6
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
Your stack: $50
Your hand: T♣-T♠It’s folded to a passive fish in the small blind who raises to $1.50. You three-bet from the big blind to $5 with pocket Tens. The fish four-bets to $15 and you have a decision. What should you do?
CorrectIf you were against an aggressive reg then getting it in with pocket Tens blind on blind would be standard. They will be bluffing enough and also have hands you beat like 9-9, to make the play profitable. Versus a passive player though, your Tens are suddenly not doing very well against a range that looks like J-J+ and A-K.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
Players: 9
Blinds: 500/1,000/a100
Your stack: 70,000
Your hand: A♠-A♦It’s deep in an online $50 MTT and only one player – a calling station – covers you. You raise to 2,500 preflop with A♠-A♦ and he calls you in position. The flop is 2♥-2♣-Q♦. You c-bet 5,000 and he calls. The turn is the K♠. What should you do?
CorrectWhen you’re up against a calling station you can size your bets much larger to attain maximum value. This is because they will generally make up their mind whether to call or fold irrespective of the bet size (unlike a good player).

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
Players: 9
Blinds: 500/1,000/a100
Your stack: 70,000
Your hand: A♠-A♦It’s the same hand and you decided that betting 12,000 was best on the turn. The calling station came along. The river is the 3♣. There is 39,900 in the pot and you have 51,400 left in your stack. You are first to act. What should you do?
CorrectThis is an ideal spot to overbet shove for value. The board hasn’t changed at all and it’s highly likely both that we have the best hand and that our opponent has at least a pair of Queens. Betting smaller, like 18,000, would get a call more often but, for long-term value, shoving here is the ultimate play.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Players: 10
Blinds: £1/£2
Your stack: £200
Your hand: K♣-T♠It’s late on a Friday evening and a drunk, abusive guy has just sat at your table and is intent on playing every hand. You raise to £6 with K♣-T♠ and he calls from the big blind. The flop is K♠-6♣-3♦. He leads into you for £15 and you call. The turn is 8♥, he bets £50 and you call. The river is 3♥ and he bets £80. What should you do?
CorrectAgainst this type of player this is a spot where you must just shut your eyes and call. It’s entirely possible you are beaten by a hand like K-J or K-Q but it’s just as likely your unpredictable foe has a missed flush draw, a worse King or is simply messing around to amuse themselves with complete air.

There is a fish on your table. Where do you choose to sit?
CorrectThis is the dream situation as you will get to see the fish act before it’s your turn. Play a ton of hands when they do, and fold more often when they do – this is the player you want to target.
