Hello everyone I thought it might be fun to start a chain quiz about poker . If however the thread doesn't find any appeal Admin should be more than welcome to just delete it. I will start by making 5 questions and whoever answers can write the next question and so on. You are playing at a 10-man table. How often do you get dealt AA? (For every ? hand) What are the probability that another guy at the table holds an A, when you in fact have Ax? How often do you get dealt a pair? Which hand is disguised by the term "snowmen"? If you get a "random" hand, then what do you get? (the average hand)

Snowmen : pocket 88 Average hand = Q7 Aces dealt i think : 6 / 1326 = 0.00435 or 220-to-1 Same applies for the pocket pair, since AA is also just a pair. Its out of my head, the rest shud be filled in. I am too lazy now .

What is the most common mistake made by beginners ? A) Playing too many starting hands ? B) Playing over the bankroll(too high stakes) ? C) Blaming losses on bad luck or rigged poker sites ?

Why?
Cause its a poker related site... PP=1 in 17 hands, or 5.8% (not just AA flangel) What are the probability that another guy at the table holds an A, when you in fact have Ax? 3/51 Think the rest have been done. Ill think of a few Qs later, but when done in the past no one answers.
