    OK, so I took this test and did not get a good score at all. I got a 111. I am so down, because of this. It depressed me big time. Am I any good at this game after all? Am I getting better? Why I am not a top player? So I figured with your help we can try and figure out the answers to some of these questions, and why?

    <span>25/50 NL. 9 Handed. You're on the button with:

    KK

    What should you do?

    <input name="7" value="1" type="radio">Move all-in
    <input name="7" value="2" type="radio">Call
    <input name="7" value="3" type="radio">Fold
    <input name="7" value="4" type="radio">Call and go all in if the flop doesn?t contain an ace</span>

    <span>I would go allin. But all those raises, someone has to have AA. Maybe?</span>

    Im almost certain #1 is a call, since you have like 40% equity vs JJ+ AQ+, and his range might even include 88-99 (if it includes AQ) - with the dead money in the pot I'm almost certain this is a mathematically correct call.

    I put Push All-in for #2, but I'm not completely sure. Your fold equity on all 3 players is fairly low, but your A8 very likely beats all 3 limpers limping range, and playing that pot OOP is tough. I'm almost 100% positive fold is not correct.

    I think the correct answer is fold, even though I have a really hard time folding KK preflop ever, I think this is a spot where they want fold to be the right answer.

    1- I am probably folding here...but it is situational, i might call sometimes just depends

    2 - no reason to fold...getting 11.25-1 pot odds to atleast call the BB

    3 - it is is a fold...you can put him on 2 hands here AA or KK, or if he is brave enogh AA,KK,QQ,AK...not really the best spot to get your money in, and you have almost nothing in the pot

    Don't let your score discourage you. I got a 133 yet suck ass and will never be ranked. It is entirely possible that you could score half that and still win twice as much as me. Also, I'm fairly sure an "answer" key is out floating in the intarnet tubes, I will see if I can find a link.
