fold (I don't agree with helemaalnicks), if this wasn't the bubble I think I would push, but now K4o is too marginal to make a move. Any other toughts?

4. s, blinds are far too high. his range is any ace even UTG and hence cf harrington, you call with A8o+.
5. s, any two against BB. you have ridiculous fold equity.
6. s, but this really really depends on any possible read of UTG. if he's limping his monsters then it's a fold obviously....

this quiz was MUCH harder... ty unam. more please!

I have to vary the difficulty, and sometimes I think they are easy but they aren't and sometimes I think they are hard but then everybody is right, I know the Christmas quiz is a tough one. ;)

Hand 1
Hero should shove about the top 25% of his Hands here, so QTo is a clear shove.

Hand 2
The Button has a range of about 25% here, against this range we could call with JJ+ and AK. But we have no FE in the future with our stack, so I would call here and hope for the best.
The call is -EV, but the other option (fold) isn't better.

Hand 3
We could shove here about 18% of our hands, but we will loose a lot of equity, if villain makes a loose and mathematically wrong call. So I would fold here, especially on the low limits this push could easily be -EV.

Hand 4
UTG shoves here about 30%, when the blinds are this high, he may be shoving more, because he fears to get no other opportunity to get first in, because Hero will play very aggressive with his bigstack.
ATo would be a call vs his 30% range and with the possibility of him being looser I would see a easy call here.
There is one exception, some villains may give hero a much wider calling range, most likely when we played a good aggressive game in the last hands and they can't understand what we have done. So some villains will reduce their pushingrange and hope that one of the shortys will bust out. If villain is one of these weak tight players, then the fold would be the better play.

Hand 5
Easy shove, our range for this blind vs blind shove should be about 90% of our hands, so we have an easy decision with K high.

Hand 6
Blind vs blind we would have an call here I think, but with the bigstack UTG limp the situation changes. When we look at this situation in the vacuum we cant decide if he is trapping here, or if he is donating dead money, which the SB is trying to steal here.
But we have a healthy stack, so I would fold here and dodge any trouble. And when the BS is trapping here, we are very often ITM.
