Quizzes, articles and other updates
Certain gameplay situations crop up again and again, regardless of whether you're playing No-Limit, Fixed-Limit, Omaha, or some other variant of poker. How to handle these situations correctly can only be learned with experience - or by learning to identify, recognise, and understand patterns, and use this knowledge to win.
According to wespetrev, these patterns of activity are neither abnormal nor disadvantageous and if you wish to learn more about them, don't hesitate to check out his article:

Math is not idiotic, in fact, it plays an important role in poker, as knowing your equity and choosing the adequate raise
size in accordance with it is a crucial part of the game. If either one of these two
abilities isn't up to par, you will make mistakes that cost you money
in the long run.
However, in the heat of battle, it's not possible to input every hand into the Equilator which is why this week's quiz gives you an opportunity to practice your logic and your mental game, in order to help refine your intuition and feeling for odds, pot odds, ranges, and equity.
