Poker Quiz for You Folks

O.k., so it may appear rather childish, but I admit that I simply love taking quizzes. And, I really don't care what the subject is. History, literature, sciences, whatever. Poker quizzes, nevertheless, are my favorite. The minute I lay my eyes on a poker quiz I feel an unstoppable urge to test my knowledge. After all, I consider my self highly knowledgeable when it comes to the world of poker. My friends usually tease me calling me 'poker brains.' This, unfortunately, says nothing of my gaming skills...


Needless, to say that the poker quiz presented below is aimed at poker beginners. However, if any of my readers are already poker professionals, I'm positive, that you would have a lot of fun ass well. The questions are taken from different areas of poker, from tournament play skills to general poker trivia. I hope you have fun with it:


1. Who of the following top poker pros holds the most World Series of Poker bracelets?


A. Johny Chan

B. Phil Hellmuth

C. Carlos Mortensen


This is a tough question because all of the above are highly experienced poker pros who have taken their share of cash at the WSOP...


2. In what Hollywood movie Mel Gibson portrays a poker player?


A. The Bounty (1984)

B. What Women Want (2000)

C. Maverick (1994)


Mel Gibson has certainly played in a great variety of films. However, there is only one great movie where he portrayed a player desperate to collect enough money to participate in a high-stakes poker tournament.


3. Which of the following descriptions describes the best a 'maniac'?


A. A player who bets and raises without taking into account his hand value.

B. A novice player with marginal gaming skills.

C. A rude player who is used to insulting his opponents.


You will come across different types of opponents at the poker tables. It is important for your future success to identify them and adjust your gaming strategies accordingly.


4. What popular poker game is different than the rest?


A. Texas Hold 'em

B. Deuces Wild

C. 7-Card Stud


Every poker game has its own rules and winning strategies. However most of them also share the same elements, such as the ranking system. What I'm asking is what poker game has the least in common with the others?


5. Which of the following female poker pros started playing poker when she was only four years old?


A. Kathy Liebert

Women poker players have long since demonstrated that they can rule the poker world with the same success as their male counterparts. The women listed above are considered highly talented poker players as fierce opponents at the tables.
