Advanced Poker Strategy Quiz

Welcome to your Advanced Poker Strategy Quiz. This quiz is based on the Advanced Poker Strategy Course, and its purpose is to test your understanding of the advanced poker principles with simple examples inspired by the tutorials of the course.

On top of each question is a link to the corresponding tutorial in case you want to review the theory before answering the question.

So, let's get started!

Short Stack Poker


You are under the gun in a 9-player table with a short stack of 10bb and there are no antes. With which of these hands could you profitably shove all-in?

The Gap Concept


You are on the big-blind facing an early position open-raise. With which of these hands would you choose to defend (either call or 3-bet)?

Short Stack Poker


You are on the button with a short stack of 10bb and there are no antes. With which of these hands could you profitably shove all-in?

Deep Stack Poker


You have an effective stack of 200bb and open-raise under the gun with A♦Q♠. You get called by a player in middle position and by the button. The flop comes A♣J♦7♠. There are about 10bb in the pot. You decide to make a c-bet of 7.5bb and the first player calls, while the button folds.

The turn is a blank, the 4♣, and with 25bb in the pot, you decide to bet 20bb. Your opponent raises you to 60bb. What should you do?

Your new question!

You are facing a rock-tight opponent. On the turn, the board is A♣10♥9♣2♦. The pot is 100$, and you have only 30$ more in your stack. Your opponent goes all-in and you put him on top pair or better.
With which of the following hands would you call?

Fold Equity


You open-raise from middle position with K♥J♥ and get called by the big blind. The flop comes A♣8♠7♠, and you both check. The turn is the 3♥, a blank, and your opponent checks again.
What should you do?

Hand Ranges

Pot Commitment


You raise from the button with K♦J♠and get called by both blinds. The flop comes J♥7♦6♠. You decide to make a c-bet. The small blind folds but the big blind calls.

The turn is a blank card, the 2♦. Your opponent checks and you bet and your opponent check-raises you all-in. The pot, including your opponent's all-in, is 150$ and you need 40$ to call. What should you do?
