You may want to print this and STUDY before answering ...: lol

For the first ten questions, you are playing $20-40 limit hold'em.

For problems 11-20, the poker form and other conditions are stated in the question.

1) You are in middle position with the Qh-Jh. An early position player limps, you call, and the button calls. The big blind raps and four of you see the flop of Qs-9d-3c, giving you top pair. The big blind checks, the early position player bets, and it is up to you. You should:
Fold
Call
Raise

2) There are nine players dealt in, and you are first to act. You have an ace with a decent offsuit kicker. What card for a kicker is the smallest one for you to play the hand?
Queen
Jack
Ten

3) You are on the button and everyone folds to you. Which of the following hands is most suitable for entering the pot?
A-10 offsuit
K-J suited
J-10 suited

4) You are in the big blind with 5h-4h. A player in early position limps, a middle position player calls, and the button calls, so four of you see a flop of Ac-9s-5d. You check, the early position limper bets, and the other two players call. You should:
Fold
Call
Raise

5) For most players, the recommended percentage of starting hands to play in a full game, not counting blind hands, is about:
15%
25%
35%

6) You hold the 10h-9h on the button. Five of you see the flop in an unraised pot. It comes Qh-9c-5h, giving you middle pair and a flush-draw. The big blind checks, the next player bets, and two players fold. You should:
Fold
Call
Raise

7) You pick up 6-6 in the little blind. Everyone folds to the button, who opens with a raise. You should:
Fold
Call
Reraise

8) You have the 8c-6c in the big blind. A middle position player opens and the button calls, so three of you take the flop. It comes Kh-8d-5s, giving you middle pair with a tiny kicker. Most of the time, the recommended play is to:
Check, because you have a weak hand.
Bet, because you are going to call anyway.
Bet, because there is a decent chance the opponents will fold.

9) You are in the big blind with a four-handed unraised pot. The flop giving you the best chance to steal in an unraised pot is:
Qs-6c-2h
10h-7s-3c
7h-3c-2d

10) You have the Ac-10h in the big blind. The button opens with a raise and the little blind folds. You should, against most people:
Fold
Call
Reraise

11) In a no-limit hold'em tournament, you make it to the final table. The structure is $100 ante, $200-400 blind. Nine players are left, and you have $3500 in chips. The big blind has $4000, one guy in the tournament (the player on your right) has $3000, and everyone else has at least $5000. The event pays eight places only. You are on the button with Ks-8h and everyone folds in front of you. What do you do?
Fold
Call
Raise all-in

12) In a no-limit hold'em tournament eight-handed last table, you pick up 8-8 and are first to act. The blinds are $500-1000 (no ante), and you have $6000 in chips. The average stack size is $10,000, and the smallest stack (the small blind) is $4000. The event pays nine spots, with eighth place worth $2000 and seventh place worth $3000. You should:
Call
Open for $2500
Go all-in

13) You are in early position in a $5-5-10 blind pot-limit hold'em money game. You have $700 on front of you, and the opponent has more. You are under the gun with pocket queens and open for $40. The player on your immediate left raises the maximum, to $140. Everyone else folds and it is your turn. What do you do?
Fold
Call
Reraise the maximum

14) In a pot-limit Omaha $25-50 blind money game, you pick up As-Ah-Ks-8c in middle position. You have $3000 in front of you, and all the other players involved have in that neighborhood. The first two players limp in, and you make it $250 to go. The button calls, and the big blind, a normally solid player, reraises the maximum, making the total bet $1175 straight. The two limpers both call and it is up to you. What do you do?
Fold
Call
Reraise all-in

15) In an eight-handed no-limit deuce-to-seven game with a $25 ante and $50 big blind, you pick up A-6-5-4-3. The player on your right opens in second position for $300. You have $1500 in front of you; the other players have more. After mentally making the appropriate curse that the game is not ace-to-five instead of deuce-to-seven, you should:
Fold
Call
Reraise all-in

16) In an eight-handed $15-30 seven-card stud game your starting hand is (6h As) 6c. The player on your immediate left is low with the 4c and makes the obligatory $5 bet. None of your cards are showing. A player with a king up folds, as does everyone else until the player on your right with a jack showing completes the bet to $15. Against most people your best play is to:
Fold
Call
Raise to $30

17) In a $15-30 seven-card stud game you start with (Kh Jh) 8h. The 3c lowcard opens for $5, a player with the Qc doorcard makes it $15, and the player in front of you folds the 4h, the only heart showing. You call the $15, a player behind you with the 10d calls, and the lowcard stays in. On fourth street you catch the 2h to make a four-flush; the other three players catch what look to be blanks. The Qc is still high and bets; what do you do?
Call
Raise slowly
Raise quickly

18) High-low split eight-or-better seven-card stud, $30-60 limit. No aces show on the board. The 2c makes the obligatory $10 lowcard bet, a king on the player's immediate left makes it $30, and the player on your right with a 5 showing calls. You hold (6h 7s) 7c. What do you do?
Depends who raised
Fold
Call

19) The first person in poker tournament history to win a pot with over a million dollars in it was:
Stu Ungar
Johnny Chan
Phil Hellmuth

20) You are a world-famous authority on poker rules. You wake up and read your email one morning and find you have been asked to help settle a dispute that arose at a major international no-limit hold'em tournament that had the following incident when down to two players. Player A, who had more money, moved in on the flop, and player B called. The dealer burned and turned, and produced...a joker! Player B said the deck was foul and wanted the hand to not count. Player A wanted the hand to count. The ruling was made that the hand should continue, to see what would have happened and aid in a decision, but the result not be official, and the prize money set aside in escrow until a committee could rule on the validity of the deal. The joker was removed and the next card was used for fourth street; then the dealer burned and turned fifth street. Player A's hand held up. What would you advise the committee to do?
Rule the deck was foul and play should continue as if the hand had not been dealt.
Rule that a joker in the deck should not invalidate the deal, and Player A should be given the prize money, treating the joker as a boxed card would have been treated.
Rule that the portion of the hand up to the point the joker was found must go, but that the joker should have been removed and the deck reshuffled, so the deal was not yet over.
