The topic of this week's quiz is playing marginal spots in unraised multi-way spots. This is often a neglected aspect of the full ring game, as the games are usually very tight in comparison to short-handed tables.

Most players prefer to wait for a good hand rather than trying to squeeze out every inch of value from marginal spots.

However, paying more attention to small unraised pots in which you have an advantageous position opens up an attractive venue for increasing your winnings.

Do you thoroughly consider every single pot, even those which might seem unimportant? Check it out for yourself in our quiz:
