$25/SkypeCoaching Freeroll Quiz

edited July 2013 in Poker Chat

ughhhh so difficult.

Fist pumped when I saw the brainteaser hint, my Dad is a boss @ them.

But it's poker, he's far from a boss @ poker! :(

Can I just pay you $25 to ask you questions on Skype for half an hour? hahahaaaaaa.

Will have a crack later, gl all!

    Winner to be announced in next weeks Vlog. It'll be given a S/O on my Twitter handle @CarlosSmitalos

    Answers can be submitted in this thread, via PM, via a Direct MSG on Twitter, a Tweet, Email, or YouTube MSG/comment on the 7 videos released this week (Mon-Sun). Deadline is Sunday 4th Aug 23:59pm. Anyone found submitting more than one entry will only have their latest entry count.
    The participants that answer all 5 questions correctly will have their names put into a hat, and drawn randomly for the winner.

    The winner will recieve $25 OR a 30minute Skype StratChat on the topic of their choosing.

    Good luck to everyone!

    -- Question 1 --

    What are the 3 boards in PLO, in which 9333 can make the nuts?


    -- Question 2 --

    Player A sits down at a 50p/£1 HU Cash Table, no antes, no rake. Player B is already sat w/100bb, and knows close to game-theory-optimal strategy. Player A will recieve the button on the first hand.
    Given that Player A is allowed to sit down with any amount...

    What is the most he can sit down with, and be forced to shove any 2, under game-theory-optimal strategy?


    -- Question 3 --

    You're sat in a Live MTT, in the big blind. It folds around to the small blind who's a regular at the casino, and primarily plays Live. He looks down at his cards, and announces he's got an Ace, and a '1-spotter'. He shoves All-In, for 10 big blinds. You have him covered.

    You look down at A8o. Assuming that he isn't lying, what's range, and should you call?


    -- Question 4 --

    6max PLHE, no antes. ESS ~ 150bb.

    Seat 1 - Folds.
    Seat 2 - Opens for the max.
    Seat 3 - Calls.
    Seat 4 - 3bets to a '3/4 Pot Size Raise'
    Seat 5 - Cold-4bets to a '1/2 Pot Size Raise
    Seat 6 - Folds.

    The action is back on Seat 2, and he decides to make a Pot-Sized Raise, effectively putting himself all-in.

    In 'number of big blinds', how big is his 5bet?


    -- Question 5 --

    What is the technically correct term, for Seat 4 at a 9-handed table?
    E.g. S9 - Big Blind.
    S8 - Small Blind
    S7 - Button
    S6 - Cut-Off
    S5 - Hijack
    S4 - ???
    S3 -
    S2 -
    S1 - (Commonly known as) Under The Gun

    Is it...
    A) UTG+3 (Under The Gun+3)
    B) MP (Middle Position)
    C) HJ-1 (Hijack-1)


    GL everyone!

    N'awww, for sure man, I always give a little leeway to any coaching sesh anyway, just trying to get back into the swing of things and all that. I have a few references if anyone needs proof that I'm just a luckboxing donk that would just be explaining to you 'what a 3bet is' :P
    You'll get  'em dw, they're not as intimidating as they first look for sure.

    Wouldn't 999XX be much easier to write? ;) Might be wrong though, who knowwwwws... oooooooh
  • edited July 2013
    Question 1 Ace 2 45 suited, to give the straight flush

    Question 5, Button plus 3!

    Question about, game-theory-optimal strategy? Did you make this one up lol My answer is

    Question "6max PLHE, no antes. ESS ~ 150bb" . No idea what PLHE or ESS is

    Q3, he can't shout his ace and so is automatically mucked so you call and win, sneaky

    Edit,

    Question 1 is a tiny bit wrong, cause the 6 suited could be out. But lets not worry about technicalities.

  • edited July 2013
    Q2-£11 is my guess
    Q3-fold he got AA?
    Q4-a guess at 13
    Q5-A and B maybe

    these are all just a guess.

    That's correct sir! Something like 999xx, where there's no straight-flush, and both remaining cards arn't TT-AA, would suffice. Thank you though, I hope the forum get's a kick outta them!

    Question6, can N colley post something in excess of 1 sentence (not word sentence)? lol
  • edited July 2013

    I think the Omaha 9333 question usually includes that the 9 & one of the 3's are suited in, say, Diamonds. Gives an extra answer then. ;)

    PS - I was looking forward to meeting you at the SPT on Saturday, was a shame (for me & perhaps many others) you were unable to attend, as I was looking forward to chatting about a few things. I hope you were not indisposed.

    i'd worry a bit more about q1. you've only used 1 card from the starting hand, needs to be 2 so that flop wouldn't work
  • edited July 2013
    So far everyone has missed 32222 for the PLO question

      And if the 9 is suited with a 3 then a royal flush on the board of that suit

    LOL I'd also suggest you don't know what PLO is either. I'd also suggest to all that it's not optimal game theory to post all the answers on this thread! Q1 already gifted, sigh. Nice distraction Smit, TY. I'll be having a crack for sure.

    lol really? You can't use 1 card and 4 on the board?

    Lol I don't know if you're joking.

    In Omaha, you HAVE to use 2 of your hole cards, no more, no less. So if the board runs out with a royal flush, you don't have a royal flush, you don't have a straight or flush either unless you have 2 of the cards required in your hand.

    I did have to laugh when a good friend of mine pointed out to me that I got a mention from the great carlos smitalos in his micky mouse vid online. Ty carlos thats very sweet. One thing that has always baffled me if you're so great and such a "reg-hunter" why is it you immediately hit and run when you double HU vs us regs. Secondly, why is it a player of your world class ability spends all your time playing here on Sky Poker. Hmm... can't work it out. Queue the excuses... (hes good at those)

    Hes now trying to buy the affections of the forum by offering them a whole $25 or coaching WOW!. That A2o was one of the worst plays I've ever seen how much do you charge for those lessons minus $25 sounds about fair.

    If anyone wants to learn how to beat the game in 2007 or give it the big one about thereselves that their such an amazing player when in reality your insecure about yourself. No good/great player goes around telling people how good they are, especially on a public forum. 

    Every respected and big winning player on this site knows what a joke and fraud this guy is, I wasnt gonna burst his bubble I was happy to let him continue his little illusion and spread it on the pages of the forum but as hes brought me into it I felt I would get the truth for the realists of you out there.

    as ever an entertaining video

    It appears some of the regulars perhaps did not like the fact that video showed them snap sit into the game when a "recreational" player arrived then snap leave when said player lost there roll

    If you could correctly answer those questions why would you need the half hour coaching session?
