If I was you I would jump in the river.
Actually we only grind the 1c tables. We can never make it higher because we always end up going busto. Yaah, now I´m a fish cunt.(or whatever)
Hey guys,
Just a reminder about forums rules and insulting fellow members.
Rule 1: No insults/abuse
To ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the forum, insults aimed at other members are strictly forbidden.
By “insults” we also mean mocking, deriding and exposing other members.
Please keep it clean and be nice
Regards,
Kyle.
Well I think I don't speak for myself if I say that I'm starting to look things clearly. gwilym is absolutely right and I think I should reevalute my poker career as it is going nowhere. And being just a fucking fish kunt I don't think I can handle the pressure of 0.05/0.10 tables I was secretly hoping for.
Hello gwilym,
Welcome to PokerStrategy and the Forums!
To pass the quiz you need to get 17/20 correct. You have 5 attempts at it. All infomation to pass the quiz can be found in the strategy articles.
Good luck and best regards,
-Jack
Some thoughts:
- an accomplished player (pro player, crushing his limit, 6th or so level thinker) cannot grasp the fact that the quiz is aimed for beginners, to make sure that $50 starting capital is given to NOT complete idiots;
- this exceptional player states that he's better than 99% of a certain platform's players. That's interesting, because modesty is the virtue I usually see in our accomplished members like PokerNoob, Trader, JonathanLittle, etc. I don't see them boasting and insulting bad players (which are their clients);
- this exceptional player puts effort in getting free $50 capital, fails and then takes his time to create a thread about failing;
- the only reasonable explanation is that he represents some competitor's site or he has some mental problems. Sports like jogging can help you. And yes, it's OK, you can flame and insult me (which never happens in this friendly community, really).
Good luck at the tables, sir.

Could be the most reasonable explanation, but I really can't think of a reasonable reason (notice the stylish word game
) any competitor's site would do this. ♦
And btw, I really admire all of you moderators for all the patience!
Ahhh so we fold A K in midlle position of a tourney?
I thought it was late position? :f_o:, it is still best to limp with AA in late position with 6 other limpers right, at the moment this Slow Playing Strategy (SPS) is not working for me currently sitting AA holding up around 24% of the time, just waiting for the downswing of this one to swing back my way!
IMO you got stacked by a Poker Strategy member and can't get your head around the basics of poker............but what would I know I just became a fucking fish kunt, could I have a badge?
See you at the tables
the quiz is a total joke, follow this strategy and you are sure to be doomed, or perhaps you will win about 5 dollars a week, so so much for the career in poker. The questions are ludicrous, you say they are abc poker, since when is folding AK abc poker, every novice pushes with ak no matter where they are in a tournie or where they are sat.
It makes me cringe just thinking of the players who will actually believe in this pile of crap you have put together. think for one second about it, do you think that the person who put this together is a great player? then why would they waste there time trying to get rakes from muppets who they refer to sites when they could be playing high stakes and coining it themsleves. I would love to see durrrrrr, schwarz, obrestad to name a few take this quiz because I know for a fact they wouldnt answer as you say "correctly"
POker is GAMBLING even if you have flopped the nuts and you're 5/1 on to win you still lose that 1 time, put it like this, put one bullet in a six chamber gun, spin it,russian roulette time, now you have the same odds, do you gamble?
To sum up this site has been a waste of my time and it is solely to try and get more small stakes players signed up to the poker sites, who are in turn the only winners...

what exactly are you trying to achieve with this post?
I find it hard to believe that it tells you to fold AK in an unraised pot, I would like to see the question in full. Plus how do you know you got that one wrong? I wouldnt know if it tells you what questions you got wrong beacuse I passed first time
I can read.
You cant read.

Put simplyyou've contradicted yourself with your own statement "POker is GAMBLING even if you have flopped the nuts and you're 5/1 on to win you still lose that 1 time"
So you lose 1 time and win the other 5 times....is this gambling? I would hazard a guess and say no because I would consider gambling, playing without astrategy in place and winning maybe 1 out of every 2 times in couin flip scenarios.
If I lost 1 $100 pot on average with AA but won 5 $100 pots with AA, I would say that's not gambling and that's why we are here listening to what Poker Strategy has to say. I don't know anyone who wouldn't be happy to lose $100 but make back $500 for a total win of $400.....well unless you're stupid anyway.
As for your example:
"put it like this, put one bullet in a six chamber gun, spin it,russian roulette time, now you have the same odds, do you gamble?"
Depends on the stakes. I would need a lot more than $100 in a pot for me to take that risk but that's just me.
I get the feeling that you would however be talked into playing russian roulette with a semi automic pistol so I figure this post will mean nothing.

Every member is entitled to their own views and wherever possible the moderators will allow members the freedom to express those views.
PokerStrategy has nothing to hide, it's business model is openly available and it's educational aims clearly stated.
We are sorry to hear that the OP is disallusioned with PokerStrategy and has failed so far to pass the quiz, If they were to persist I'm sure that they would get to learn the massive benefits of being a member here which extend far beyond the $50 starting capital and get to know other members better.
Moderators do not like editing or closing threads, but of course will do so where things get out of hand, the board rules are broken or to protect members which always remains our top priority.
Despite a polite warning from Moderator Kyle, flaming is still going on and the thread is going around in circles, therefore regretfully, I am forced to close this thread to protect all members.
Please help us to ensure that PokerStrategy remains a friendly and helpful community to all members, new and existing. Your co-operation is appreciated.
Everyone at PokerStrategy.com wishes the OP well in their poker whether it's with PokerStrategy or elsewhere.
Best regards,
Bart
