Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Playing Texas Hold'em, your Ac Kc is currently best on a board of Qd 9s 8s 2c against your opponent's 7s 6s. Which of the following cards would lead to you losing the hand?
2. Maybe it wasn't reasonable to expect to win the hand without a single pair. In this hand, you've made top pair with Kh Th on a board of Kd 7s 6s 2h. Do any of the below cards lead to disaster against your opponent's 9s8s?
3. In this hand, you head to the river well ahead, holding Js Th against your opponents 8s 8c, on a board of Jc Jd 4s 3h. Thinking you have the pot in the bag, you zone out for a second, and then wake up to see the pot pushed to your opponent. Which of these cards hit on the river?
4. After witnessing the last hand, you decide to take a trusty pocket pair into battle - 3h 3d. Your opponent has As Ks, and the board is 7s 7h Tc 8c. Phew, no flush or straight draw for your opponent, and the river isn't an Ace or a King. But wait - the pot is pushed to your opponent anyway. Which of these cards caused this?
5. Perhaps Texas Hold'em isn't your game, so you decide to switch to the second most popular poker variant in America today - Pot Limit Omaha. In Omaha, you are dealt 4 cards, and you must use exactly two of them. You have a set with 4c 4s 3s 2d on a board of 9d 8h 2c 4h, and your opponent is still drawing with his Js Ts 7d 6d. Of the forty cards left in the deck, how many give your opponent the win?
6. Brushing off your bad luck, you switch tables to one filled with inexperienced players. Again, you get it in good, having made a flush with Tc 9c 8d 7d on Qc 8c 6c 2h. Your opponent has Ac Jd Jh Td, and is peering intently at the board. Which of these gives him the pot?
7. You look at your calendar and realize it's June - time to brush up on some other games for the WSOP. Let's start with Seven Card Stud; you've started off incredibly strong with As Ac Kc, but have bricked out since and now hold As Ac Ks Th 8h 2s. Your opponent had a drawing hand with 5s 6s 7s, and now holds 5s 6s 7s 5d Th 3d.
Stud is tricky, as you and your opponent get different "rivers" (known as 7th street). Starting with your opponent's 7th street first and yours second, which of these combos lets your opponent win?
8. Now let's move on to some low games. Holding 8s 7c 5d 4s 3s Tc in Razz, you head to seventh street against your opponent's 4c 3c 2d Ad Kd Qc. You brick out with a Jd; how many cards can your opponent draw to defeat you?
9. Moving on to a different type of poker game, you've now switched to Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, a draw game. You are satisfied with your hand of 8s 6d 4s 3h Ac, and stand pat. Your opponent, with a hand of 6c 5d 4c 3c, draws a single card. How many outs do they have to beat you?
10. Unsurprisingly, the WSOP has not quite gone to plan (turns out it's hard to do well in tournaments when you keep losing on the river). You've returned to Texas Hold'Em cash to recuperate, and have turned quads! - You have As Ac on a board of Ah Ad Kd 5h. Quads might feel unbeatable, but when your opponent turns over Jd Td you realize you can still lose. What card deals you the sickest of all bad beats?
