Beginner Quiz (6) - SnG

by shakin65

In the following quiz ten spots will be covered that a SnG player will encounter quite frequently and where it is important to make the correct decision. These hands are taken exclusively from $6.50 and $16 Turbo SnGs on Pokerstars. Some hands contain reads/stats on the players involved that are filtered by the players left in the game.

Good luck!
