Poker Test Questions

Fold, Call or (Re) Raise??

A series of questions to test just how much you know about playing poker. Read the question, decide what you would do and then click on the question to reveal the answer.

1. You're playing in a major no-limit hold'em tournament and are dealt A-A in middle position. There's a raise and two calls before it gets to you and everyone involved has more than 50 big blinds. Should you:

a)Fold b)Call c)Re-Raise d)Go all-in?

c) Re-Raise. Don't let those already in the hand outflop you or give others the odds to call behind you. If the first raise was to three big blinds, make it about ten to play, as you want one or two players to see the flop with you.

2. Everyone behind you folded and the initial raiser and one other player call. The flop comes A, 6, 4 rainbow, giving you trips. Everyone checks to you, do you:

a)Check b)Bet?

a)Check. You have the board strangled and need to give the others every chance to catch up.

3. The turn comes a 5 and one player bets half the pot. The other folds. Do you:

a)Fold b)Raise?

b)Raise. Your opponent could have a hand where he will pay you off, provided no scare cards come. Again, 3-4 times the bet is a good amount to raise.
