Poker IQ Test

Yep, I called with any 2 as well.

How about the Rounders hand (last question)? I thought Matt Damon should flat call rather than push with his second nut boat.

I got 109 , so sinkrox no longer needs to be ashamed

well as it is, you guys teached me, so it's all your fault that i'm playin that badly!


Position and pairs are okay. The rest is no good, i guess I'm not posting nor finding the correct hands to analyze this kind of play. But pocket pairs and sets, the forum is full of it.
Example flop texture, i seem to have missed something there.
bluffing aggression and even hand selection (?) seems horrible (not only if I compare it to your stats).

stats in detail
Position 69%
blinds 54%
Torunament 47%
Big pairs 69%
small & medium pairs 64%
bluffing 46%
Flop texture 54%
Pot odds 46%
Logic 60%
Betting patterns 60%
Hand selection 53%
aggression 52%
Computational speed 40%

"Your Computational Speed score of 40% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 32.04% of all persons taking this test."

I tried to be quickly (as I should be doing actually something else), i wonder how the 68% solved this IQ, probably by 'clicking patterns' (example: always check first answer box)

Hmmmm... can't really remember the exact questions, but here are a few ideas:

Big pairs: Play them very fast PF and recognize that KK can be a huge underdog to one hand--i.e., be cautious if the action suggests AA.

Blinds: In cash games, don't worry much about defending blinds. Also, don't try to steal much.

I have no idea if this was correct, but I think one question was something like folded to you with QJ OTB. I do raise that here normally, as I would essentially any good starting hand. There's just no sense in letting T2 see the flop for free imo.

Those are about the only things I can really remember.

Okay let me run through the big pair hands (I'll number them for ease of reference) There are nine total hands:

1). I think the KK hand you [Aisthesis] refer to is the one where a tight player raises, another one reraises, then a third player puts in half his stack and you have KK in the BB. I said fold there, as the action suggests that the third guy has AA. There was also a limper UTG.

2). 5/10 NL Cash game. 9 handed. Everyone has about $1,200. UTG raises to $50 and gets two calls from solid tight aggressive players. You have KK in the BB and raise to $250 and get 3 callers. Flop:

You bet $300 on the flop. UTG player calls and a middle position player moves all in for $750 more. What should you do? Options are to call all-in or fold. I said fold as a set seems likely. Two solid tight players call so prolly pocket pairs; I'd expect a reraise from AQ rather than just the call, and pushing in with that hand on this flop seems a bit much.

3). 5/10 NL Cash game. 6 handed. Folded to the cutoff. A weak player with a $400 stack raises to $40. You have him covered and re-raise from the button to $100 with:
Flop comes:
He bets $100. What should you do? Options are call, raise, fold.
I said raise as he seems to have a K and will prolly put more money in the pot with a hand like AK. If he had KK then I'd expect him to slow play being a weak player.

4). (Not sure if this one counts as a big pair hand, but I'm assuming it does. Seems pretty similar to the previous hand) 5/10 NL Cash game. 9 handed. Everyone has about $1,000. Two limpers in early and middle position. You have and raise to $60, only one MP caller.
Flop:
Caller bets $80 out at you. What should you do? Options are Call, Raise to $250, Raise to $375, Fold, All-in, and Call to trap, raise on river.
I said raise to $250, which was size of the pot or pretty close to it. I'm thinking I'm up against a weaker ace and I'll charge the player a bit with the weaker ace. If I'm up against a set, I think this bet may induce a reraise so that I can fold.

5). Tournament. Blinds are 100-200. A novice call station raises UTG to $500. Unknown player flat calls in middle. You all have about 20,000 chips. You are in the cutoff seat with:
What should you do? Options are Call, Raise $800, Raise $1000, Raise $1600, and Raise $2300. I picked the latter option as I want to get heads-up with the calling station and he says he has a hand so I'm expecting a call and I want a big pot so I can get all his chips.

6). (Again I think this may not be a big pair hand, but it is an overpair situation so....) 5/10 NL Cash Game. 9 handed. Everyone has about $1,000. You raise to $40 UTG with: JJ an expert player in the SB calls: Flop comes 22T rainbow and the SB leads into you for $80, you raise to $250 and the SB 3-bets to $650. Question adds that your image is supertight in EP and that you rarely bluff. Options are:
Fold
All-in
Call and fold to turn lead
Call and get all in on turn if no overcard hits
Call and get all in on turn no matter the turn card

I said fold, since I'm thinking that SB thinks I have overcards and is still coming after me. His 3-bet is also not all that much more, so seems like he's asking for a call.

7). 5/10 NL. $2,000 stacks, 9 handed. You raise to $35 UTG with: and get one tight-aggressive caller in MP. Flop comes: AK8 rainbow
You bet $60, he raises to $180, you re-raise to $580, he pushes all-in. What should you do? Options are call or fold.
I think I said call, but that looks wrong. Tight aggressive player isn't putting all his chips in with a weaker A here and prolly isn't calling me with A8 so prolly up against a set of eights.

8). 5/10 NL. 9 Handed. Everyone has about $1,000. You're in early position with: . UTG limps. You raise to $50. Two players in middle position call, and UTG calls. The flop is:
The pot is $265 and you bet $200. UTG folds and the first middle position player (loose/passive) raises all-in for $750 more.

Everyone folds to you. What should you do? Call or Fold.
I said fold. Guy is loose, so could be calling with a suited T4 or T2 (perhaps this doesn't happen at 5/10 even for the loose types?) He's passive so coming over the top of my bet for all his chips suggests serious strength.

9). (last one!) 10/20 NL cash game. 8 handed. Everyone has about $2,000. You're in the small blind with:
A tight aggressive player UTG raises to $80. A middle position player re-raises to $240. He's playing very tight and is very aggressive. It is folded to you. What should you do? Options are:
Call
Fold
Raise
Raise all-in
Small Raise
I think I said raise. I'm not convinced I'm up against AA and I want a big enough raise to find out whether AA is out there. Wondering if a small raise isn't better here. If there is a push, I'll have some pretty good pot odds with a normal raise.

Answers and insight much appreciated.

Btw there is a HTML2 BBcode converter

This is a fold?
villain has A7 right?

21.
5/10 NL Cash Game. 7 handed. You are loose, passive, and you generally play badly. You and the tight player in the BB both have about $3,000.

It is folded to you on the button. You hold:


You make a standard $40 raise, and the BB calls.

Flop is:



BB leads for $80. You call.

Turn is:


BB bets $200 and you raise to $400. BB re-raises to $800. You call.

River is:



BB moves all in for his last $1900. What should you do?

Fold
Call



I called that one, though villain could be having KQ or a set
34.

5/10 NL. $1,200 stacks. A tight/passive player limps in early. Folded to you in the BB. You hold:

You bet $60. The limper calls. Turn:



You bet $140. The limper raises to $280. You call. River:



You check. The limper moves all-in for $875. What should you do?


Fold
Call

Okay that makes sense. I think what you say about the bluff is also correct. If we expect him to not be able to fold AA so that our set gets paid off, then we can't expect to be able to bluff him.
