In Response To: My Score + questions (Stick)

I'll be honest: I answered about 20 of these, got bored, and skipped to the end to see the answers, leaving the majority of the questions blank. They weren't there. I am currently extremely disappointed. I still ended up with a score of 80. Anyway, keep in mind that I was strictly a low-limit player and never played NL, so I'm not even sure whether my answers will be any good.

#5: Fold. Pot odds don't justify the risk of being dominated, as far as I can see.

#14: Fold. This seems like just about the worst situation to play a low pair in.

#17: Eh, I have no idea, but I'd fold, I guess.

#19: OK...QF is high here. You shouldn't reraise with anything, since button will just go all-in and you'll have to muck. My thinking is that you should call with just about anything. Reasoning is that knowing what a player holds is more valuable than knowing you're dominated. You can try to spike the flop or you can try to bluff him out, with higher odds of success than usual, since he knows you saw his cards.

#24: Call. Button could have any two cards at this point, and you have a chance to knock him out here. If you were only a small-medium stack, then you should fold.

#29: Yes? 500 BBs ought to do for a professional. It might not work for a backgammon poker who decided to give online poker a try and is 4-tabling.

#32: Isn't ATo typically close to break even? I think that it is a winning hand, though. Could be pretty close.

#51: Call, of course. Having watched the movie several times...what hand is going to call his raise there? If he hit a flush he's folding on a paired board.
