PLS Quiz Me!!
I created this thread to help me with my Poker training. As I research various topics in my "most important things to learn to crush online MTT's", I would like forum members to quiz me on a topic I post.
Once I finish up with a topic I will post the topic in this thread for others to quiz me on it. I will answer each question with my new found knowledge.My goal is to see if I completely understand each and every topic.
For my first Quiz, I would like you to list 10 poker terms.
(after a person posts, others are welcome to quiz , but pls just don't include terms in a previous post.)
thank you

thanks milo, I knew alot of these awhile back, but forgot what some of them meant. I had to research a couple of them. the walking back to Houston term is a new one to me.
can we target holdem terms pls
lol @ my answer. I will add this to my list. tyty:D
working on my game from the ground up and just finished up with my first topic "Poker terms". Now I'm looking for members post terms for me to define. when i finish up with my next topic (EV) I will ask the forum to quiz me on that, then hand ranges and so on.
Not really looking for reading material. I'm just looking to be tested, maybe learn something new
snowmen
hockey sticks
ducks
brunson
anna kournikova
san franciscan waiter
hammer
ninja
speed limit
hooks
gretz
motown
cum shot
siegfried and roy
If you hold 10,5 what is the only straight you can not make?
Implied odds
reverse implied odds
moving button rule
mississippi straddle
Like the value bet its important to add a bet with the intention of making villain fold out better hands a certain % of the time. If the villain won't fold anything better its not really a semi-bluff (or we can say its an incorrect time to semi-bluff but the distinction is important).
1. range.
2. pot odds.
3. hand equity
4. 3betting for value.
5. 3 betting as a bluff.
6. fold equity
7. EV
8. odds to % conversion (and back)
9.polarized range
10.elastic ranges.
hockey sticks - 77
ducks - 22
brunson - T2
anna kournikova - AK(some say "looks good, plays bad")
san franciscan waiter - Q3
hammer - 72
ninja - QK (tilt your head to the left)
speed limit - 55
hooks - JJ
gretz - 99
motown - J5
cum shot - ???
siegfried and roy - QQ
If you hold 10,5 what is the only straight you can not make?
With this hand you have the ability to hit all straights
Implied odds - When you are drawing and figure you will make more money off your opponent after you happen to hit your hand.
reverse implied odds - when a player is drawing, only to be behind if they hit their hand
moving button rule - the button moves to the next live player even if another player does not post the BB or small SB
mississippi straddle - a type of straddle that can be made from any position at the table <<< Going to have to try this, sounds crazy
Thanks for the detailed correction. I will add it to my list.
1. range. - The entire spectrum of hands a player may hold
2. pot odds. - The odds of your hand improving in comparison to the amount of money you need to call in a pot
3. hand equity - the value of the our hand if we were to take it to showdown vs. the villain's range
4. 3betting for value. - A value 3bet is done with a hand that's stronger overall than the range you expect villain to continue with
5. 3betting as a bluff. - A bluff 3bet is any hand you can comfortably fold when 4 bet.
6. fold equity - It is the equity a player can expect to gain due to the opponent folding to his or her bets. It becomes more important when a player becomes short stacked.
7. EV - Expected value. What player expects to win on average over a large period of time. EV = (size of pot) * (% we win) - (size of bet) * ( % we lose)
8. odds to % conversion (and back)
To convert odds to % - (cost to call) \ (pot+bet) = %
To convert % Odds -(100%) \ (%) = odds
9.polarized range - Taking an action with only really strong or weak hands.
10.elastic ranges. A range that is affected by bet size
Pls correct me if i have anything wrong or you want me to go a little more in depth.
Thanks Milo, Moose and Darbday. I really enjoyed defining these! I learned a few new things, added to my master list and found new topics to research after I'm done with my list... And darbday a big thanks for adding terms that are on my topics of study list.
Right now I've been working on EV, so when I feel ready, I will be back for you all to quiz me again.
One more. Montana bananna.
Shitty deal at the OPT WPT sat! Hopefully Mark can win you some money.
You can't make a 9 high straight holding 10 anything.
Being moved, limited time to play, variance and some bad play made me think outside the box. Lately I have been playing ring games to further understand these topics. Ring games give me time to break down each situation without worrying about some of the of the other MTT elements. When I move onto my next topics I will adjust back to MTT`s
So now that I have progressed in my studies, I would like you to quiz me on EV, hand ranges and Pokerstove.
Thank you,
Ryan
