Нужна помощь с прохождение второго теста. Вот вопросы: 1.What’s the best way to kick off your Texas Hold’em Career.
a Start on very low level No Limit Cash Games and gradually work your way up.
b Play a multitude of different styles of Texas Hold’em Poker to develop a well rounded game.
c Go straight to high limit games. There is no money in the lower limits.
d Pick a mid level game initially. It should be high enough that you can’t really afford to lose but not so high that you could go broke in three hands.
2. With respect to playing profitable Texas Hold’em Poker, which of the following is most true:
a Profitable Texas Hold’em poker is more about predicting the next Community Card(s) than about adopting any particular playing style.
b A successful player knows that profitable poker is about Folding unless you are either certain or almost certain of winning the hand.
c Most successful players have developed a Tight, Aggressive game and stick with it.
d Most successful players have developed a Loose game that allows them to see many Flops - gaining valuable experience in many different positions.
3. Mid Pairs can be among the most difficult hands to tackle in Texas Hold’em No Limit Poker. So what is the best way to address this issue?
a Always play them aggressively and be willing to commit your entire stack. Your average opponent will be Weak and/or Tight enough to make this a profitable strategy over the long term.
b You will generally only win with a Mid Pair if you strike Three of a Kind. So try and get to the Flop as cheaply as possible.
c Always Fold them. Your expectancy will be maximized by sticking to the hands that you know will be profitable.
d Develop a considered Mid Pair strategy. This will give you a competitive advantage over your average opponent who is likely to be trying to “re-invent the wheel” each time.
4. We have a reasonably strong hand. We have the betting momentum and make a continuation bet after the Flop. Our opponent Re-Raises All In. What factor in isolation would make us more likely to Call this bet.
a We believe our opponent to be Weak
b Our opponent has a large stack.
c We believe our opponent to be Tight.
d Our opponent is short stacked.
5. You hold JJ in the Big Blind in a $1 $2 No Limit game. The Button player is First In and Raises it to $8. You Re-Raise it to $24. What should you be doing immediately after making your decision to Re-Raise?
a Start thinking about what you might have done in this position with other stronger and weaker hands.
b Start calculating how much you will win if your opponent Folds.
c Start considering what you will do next if your opponent Re-Raises or Calls.
d Cross your fingers and prey that your opponent doesn’t have a higher pocket pair.
6. Players A, B, C and D are all All In with equal stack sizes before the Flop. Which is the most likely to be the winner after the fifth Community Card is dealt.
a JJ
b QJ
c AJ
d 22
7. As you gain experience you will develop strong poker instincts. You should be careful:

b Not to trust your instincts. When you think you are beaten you are generally just as likely to be in front of facing a split pot scenario.
c To remember that poker instincts and expectancy are generally negatively correlated.
d To remember that your instincts will occasionally cause you to make an incorrect decision. However, you would expect strong poker instincts to assist you to make the right decision much more often.
8. Players are pot committed when:
a They are so Loose that they won’t Fold under any circumstances.
b They have contributed more to the Pot than any other player.
c Their stack size is small enough relative to the Pot that it would be correct to Call irrespective of the next Community Card(s).

9. What is an advantage of playing a Suited Connector in Texas Hold’em No Limit Poker?
a It is more difficult for your opponents to make it expensive if you find yourself on a draw.
b Your opponents will be less likely to be dealt a high pocket pair in a No Limit as opposed to a Limit game.

b Any hand that you think is a 50% chance of being better than your opponents hand.

d A standard opponent may get many strong Raising hands in a short space of time making them seem far more aggressive than they actually are.
16. What is a major concern when playing a Mid Over Pair after the Flop?
