Default lol - I'm probably going to only get 1 right

hi

nice quiz BTW

1) B

I know its on 4kingpoker somewhere but from memory I think its 169

2) A

10th is nearest but I think AK off its 9th best hand, suited AK I put 5th but other put it 4th

Poker Starting Hands ranked

the top hands are all ranked differently by alot of pros and maths people but usually within 1 spot of each others opinion

3) C

(or maybe the obvious B) but

I think this maybe a bit of trick question - clearly if only KK against JTs then Kings are the stronger hand - but looking at this the other players in the hand are important at influencing the number of outs and live cards - KK is already underdog against the AA so I'm guessing but

with KK against AA (the best preflop hand of them all) you are dead with only 2 outs to make a better hand - and only those two outs through the flop, turn & river

with JTs afaiks against the other 3 hands with a favourable flop etc you have far more outs than 2 to break the AA - in other words I think playing the hand face up JTs has possible running suited cards and also running straight cards

but I may have completely misunderstood the question ;-)

4) A

I guess it's got to be around 60/40 of them having a better of worse hand

but would love to say B though that cant be right as all cards have a chance and C is clearly wrong leaving A

cheers scrawnybob

ps. when is teacher going to tell the class his right answers ?
