Tournament Theory Quiz

1

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.

2

When you win a pot with an uncalled bet, showing the other players that you did indeed have a strong hand is
	A good idea, because they will respect your bets from then on and assume that you only bet when you have a good hand.
	A good idea, because it creates an implied obligation for the other players to show their uncalled hands to you.
	A bad idea, because you risk losing curiosity calls, and also because you might be confirming an opponent's read on you, allowing him to know he can correctly judge when you are strong.
	A bad idea, because it's considered poor poker etiquette, one of the reasons why you almost never see Yes professional players showing cards unnecessarily.

3

If you know you are one of the weaker players in a no-limit hold'em tournament, your strategy probably should be to
	Not bother entering because no-limit is the highest skill game and you'll have virtually no chance to win and not much more chance to get into the money.
	Guard your chips carefully, making sure you don't risk all of them in one pot unless you have an overwhelmingly strong hand, and try to build your stack slowly.
	Pick out the player at your table you think is the weakest, other than you, and play hands against him even if your cards are fairly weak.
	Be willing to play very aggressively and push tiny edges, and be perfectly willing to play a number of ?coin flip hands in an attempt to double up your stack.

	Call
	Fold

You are in the cutoff seat with the KH QH. There are three limpers in the pot and you decide to join them by also limping. The button folds and both blinds call, giving you the advantage of having last action after the flop. The flop comes JS 10D 5C. Everyone checks to you. You have two overcards to the flop and an open-end straight draw. What is the best play?
	Check
	Bet your draw because everyone has shown weakness by checking

7

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.

When playing money poker, the most you can expect to win in a given evening in a given game is probably
	Roughly equal to the amount that could/should be your biggest loss in a given evening in that particular game.
	Only one half to one third as much as you might lose in a night, in part because of the rake but much more because you can go on tilt and lose a fortune but you can't go on 'anti-tilt' and win a fortune.
	Two to three times as much as you make your maximum loss, assuming you employ an intelligent stop-loss system.
	None of the above.

	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.

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
