Q11 is close because it looks like a squeeze.

Q11 I say call. If MP is "solid agressive", and only came to life after the flop, it would seem that he paired his Q and thinks he's the best, with perhaps KQ or QJ. Otherwise, if he had QQ or AQ, I would have expected a reraise before the flop. The only other thought I can see is that he made two pair with Q8 or Q3, but I wouldn't consider that a "solid" player. If he was a weak player, who would go in with those hands, then I would definitely fold.

Now that I think of it, MP might also have slipped in with 88, which is also trouble...

I chose fold on Q11. If the MP players are solid, tight, and aggressive, they're not going to just call a raise with something like AQ. They're going to want to get heads up on the flop. If they had a small or middle pair, however, calling would make more sense.

The facts of the question eliminate the possiblity of a semibluff with a drawing hand. With two kings and facing a raise and all-in reraise, you're either way ahead or way behind. The UTG player might have some hands you have beat, but the MP player could be pushing all-in with a set, thinking that one of the other hands has something they'll call with. And with only two solid outs against a set, the price is too high, IMO.

The timing of the test is a little unbalanced. I took an hour or so when I took the test, leaving the room a few times, etc., and scored a 106. So I logged out and took it again, giving the same answer for each question. I finished in about 5-6 minutes, and my score was a 132. I don't think time should hold that much importance.

I did pay the $10 for the more detailed version, and found it lacking. Although I thought the test was good, there was still entirely too little information given for each question.

I scored 107 but I took a long time to finish because I did in work and just answered questions in-between tasks.

Default Re: Question 12

looks like q11 and q12 make another pair

q11: stacks are deeper, players are tag, board is bone dry. MP probably isn't bluffing into the pf raiser and a caller -- he doesn't have enough to push us both out. A raise here means he can beat top pair, and from preflop we know he doesn't have AA or KK.

q12: villian is weak and short and the table is small. Board has a K this time, plus a flush draw. His range easily includes KQ and TT-QQ. If he's really weak, KJ, KTs or two spades.

I think testmaker is asking if we can make the laydown against villian with a set, versus stay with the probable best hand.

I have trouble with some of these because I play .05/.10, where q11 is an easy call against what would be considered TAG there, but I think that factor of 100 changes things.
