109 - but my excuse is that I was rushing the last third of the questions because I was loosing interest. Well, at least I didn't use "it was rigged" as an excuse for being a donk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$50/$100 NL. Approx $50,000 stacks. 4 handed. You are a tight-aggressive mid-stakes pro taking a shot at the big game. You have your entire bankroll on the table. You're on the button with:



You raise to $500 and the expert pro player (one of the best players in New York, is very tricky and aggressive) in the big blind calls. Flop is:



BB checks and you bet $2,000. He thinks and calls. Turn is:



He checks, you check behind. River is:



He leads for $15,000 into the $5,000 pot. You have $49,000 left. You think he rivered the flush. What should you do?

Call
Raise all-in
Fold


rofl nice

you are right. I dunt heve shpades

Yes, I'm assuming the play is raise, after all you're holding the second nuts. I never understood why in the movie he got mad at himself for pushing in that situation. He should have gotten mad at himself for playing that high when obviously his BR didn't allow him to, but he ran into a enormous cooler. Other guy had 2nd nuts as well and called, I'm sure if the situations were reversed, and KGB had the 2nd nuts of A9 he would have shoved as well.

104 for me...should definitely take this test again when I'm not running on 3hrs sleep and am in the middle of writing papers and studying for exams (this was a release and break for me)....then again, I think it's fairly accurate and wouldn't change too much. May get to 110....but could very well go down to < 100 too!

Though I am still in the middle of taking this test, I am reluctant to think that there is always a correct answer.
That is the thing about poker, there is really no wrong or right way to play it. The game consists of many different situations that must be assessed in moments rather than taking a "test" of your poker abilities.
Maybe I am just missing the fun about the bragging about who got higher scores, but if this "test" were to be taken seriously, then I would condemn it, but if it were for the fun of friendly competition, then I am all for it.

The cert was free back in Feb. when I took it. Also, please keep in mind that it's not a linear scale, but rather a bell curve. 117 is much better than 110 (more so than the 7 pt. difference might seem to indicate initially).

Also question number 51 is very similar to the situation that arised early in the movie "Rounders" with Matt Damon.

I also scored a 100 which used to fit the description, but does not any longer.

I scored 112.Seeing all the other scores here I don't feel to bad about it.

I don't see why they put that "Rounders" question in there.It kinda threw me off when they asked me to forget about the movie.How the hell can you expect someone to forget something they know without getting them real high first.

Actually, I think it illustrates a good point about not being results oriented. Of course you're inclined to think "fold you fool, he's got aces!" when you know the result - but does that change what you should do if you find yourself in the same situation? Dunno about anyone else, but I'm not in the habit of folding that full house very often...

My score was 104, BTW.

No, raising is bad in that spot. The only hand calling such a huge raise is one that beats you *cough*AA*cough*

The answer to that is "call," btw

*raises eyebrows*

Maybe this is one of the reasons I only scored 104... but you're telling me you'd expect someone holding the nut flush to lay down in this position?

The question really isn't fair if the answer is "call", as they add to it "you think he has the flush" as part of the criteria.

the answer is pretty definitely to shove. it's heads up, inflating hand value dramatically by itself. i realize it's deepstacked, but if you're only calling with the near mortal nuts, it'd be +EV for an opponent to raise all-in every time a remotely large pot developed against you. an "expert pro player", as it describes him, isn't gonna be that nitty or exploitable. also, his frequency of having AA decreases a lot when you consider he didn't 3bet pre

fwiw, i answered shove on the test

What I figured. I thought the question was more about not being results oriented (along the same lines as the coin flip question) than anything else.
