I agree about problem 14.

I don't think the pre-flop fold is a terrible play just a tight one.

And as for the check on the flop; it seems to me that you are getting at least 50% of your opponents hands to fold to a bet. Yet, as Harrington repeatedly says, you only need to win the pot 33% of the time for a half pot bet to be correct. In book 2 Harrington says that, for a continuation bet, it is good to have only one opponent and for the flop to be all low cards. No points are given for this play however.

There are a lot of similar situations to this where the scoring seems a little hard to understand. I am still only on problem 16 as well.

I still think this is a great book though but it would be nice to have some clarification about some of the answers.
