Message: [QUOTE="c9h13no3, post: 1361987, member: 15450"] [I](Modnote: The answers to the below quiz have been posted [/I][URL="https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tournament-poker-59/tournament-quiz-166708/post-1362207.html"][I]HERE[/I][/URL][I] so there's no need to post your answers unless you are doing so to illustrate a point. There's plenty of good discussion in the thread though, so the whole thing is well worth a read. ~DM)[/I] It seems to me like most players on this message board play tournaments as their preferred game. This is all well & good, except that most of the members here who contribute sound advice play cash games as their primary game. Not saying there are no good tourney players here, just that we could use some more quality tournament content. I, a self-professed horrible tournament player, am going to attempt to remedy this problem. However, since I know little to nothing about tournaments, this quiz is actually about math & logic, just in a tournament setting. So, without further ado, here is a quiz that is designed to test your tournament decision making skills: [SIZE=4][U][B]Question #1:[/B][/U][/SIZE] The following scenario occurs in heads up play in a SnG. [I][B]$100 SnG, Blinds 250/500, No antes, Payouts: 1st, $450; 2nd, $270[/B][/I] Hero is BB with 8775 chips Villain is SB with 4725 chips [B][COLOR=black][U]Pre Flop:[/U][/COLOR][/B] ([B][COLOR=darkgreen]750 chips[/COLOR][/B]) Hero is BB with [B][SIZE=4][COLOR=black]Xx Xx[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [COLOR=red]Villain goes all-in for 4475[/COLOR], Hero ???? ([B][COLOR=darkgreen]4225 to call[/COLOR][/B]) Assume that villain doesn't have any glaring leaks, and is solid. We're getting pot odds of 1.24:1 or 45%.

He assures you he will do whatever you say, and the floor man says that whatever you tell him to do is binding. You reply with: [B]A.[/B] I have you dominated, call! [B]B.
