Test your poker personality

Question 1:

You're in early position with AT suited. The player in the Cutoff is a calling station, the player in the Big Blind a maniac. What's your move?

Fold
Open-raise
Limp

Question 2:

At a short-handed table, you're in the Cutoff with AK. A player in middle position limps before it's your turn. You decide to raise, as recommended. All other players fold, except the one in middle position who reraises you. What does your gut say? How often does your opponent hold a monster, a strong hand or even a bluff in this spot?

10% bluff, 90% monster (queens or better)
40% bluff, 60% monster or strong hand (like jacks or ace-king)
50% bluff, 50% monster or strong hand
70% bluff, 30% monster or strong hand

Question 3:
After you've thought about what your opponent could be holding in this spot, it's time for your decision. How do you react to the opponent's reraise?

Reraise to $2.60
Call
Fold

Question 4:

Again, you're in the Cutoff at a short-handed table with AK. You open-raise to 3 big blinds, the Button calls and the players in the blinds fold. You're able to hit top pair/top kicker on the flop and continue betting two-thirds of the pot up until the river, where your opponent reacts to your bet with an all-in. What do you do now?

Call
Fold

Question 5:

You're involved in a hand on the flop while having position on your opponent who decides to bet. With which of the following hands would you be more willing to call?

A
B

Question 6:
Which statement fits best to your playing style?

I try to read my opponents in order to outplay them.
I play solid poker and let my opponents commit mistakes.

Question 7: Risk management
You've noticed a very weak player on NL25. Your bankroll is $275 and there's an empty seat. Would you be willing to play above your usual limits in such a situation?

I will play and risk $25 to $50.
I will play but only risk up to $25. I will play tighter than usual.
No, thanks!
I will sit down with $10.

Question 8: Poker mathematics
Your opinion on mathematics in poker is:

Very important. You have to be aware of the probabilities.
It is a part of it. It is more important to read your opponents, though.
You do not really need that. Later on, you will have a feeling for the right odds.

Question 9: Tilt control
In my opinion, working on controlling your emotions while playing online poker is ...

... esoteric hocus-pocus. Clear thinking is enough.
... very important. Many poker players fail at this.

Question 10:
Playing a bad session ...

... does not affect my mood at all.
... does not make me happy, but also will not get me down.
... makes me feel miserable. Most of the time, I get a bit aggressive.

Question 11: Motivation
Poker excites me because ...

... of the opportunity to compete.
... of the opportunity to win money.
... of the theoretical requirements and depth of the game.
... time flies by when playing.

Question 12:
Many players base their decision with which hands to join a hand on charts (so-called starting hands charts). What do you think of such charts?

They do not make sense. Poker is too dynamic for rigid charts.
They offer a good orientation. You have to know when to deviate from them, though.
It is definitely right to use them. Deviating is something for pros who know what they are doing.

Question 13: Position

At a short-handed table, you're sitting in the Big Blind with KQs. The player in the Cutoff is a maniac and just raised to 3 big blinds once again. All the other players folded and now it's your turn. What do you do?

Call
Fold
Reraise to $1

Question 14: Slowplay

Again, you're in the Big Blind at a short-handed table and just called a raise by a player in the Cutoff. You're able to hit a set on the flop. After your check, your opponent decides to bet. Which move is the best one in this spot?

Call
Check-raise to $1.20
Check-raise to $1.60

Question 15: Playability

This time you're on the Button at a short-handed table. A player raises from the Cutoff. With which of the following hands would you rather call preflop?

A
B
