: Poker Quiz #1...
Maybe I'll do this every once in a while. We'll call this the "useful Yoonies" - Barbara Yoon used to post "test your intuition" all the time about stuff that wasn't that helpful in terms of actually playing poker but was interesting in some combinatoric sense. You know, like Brian Alspach's columns. Hopefully these little quizzes will be the opposite...not that interesting in a combinatorical way, but of some use in thinking about poker. Plus I can ape some of this material for the book.
Test your intuition first, then figure it out:
Let's say UTG makes a moderately tight raise from {AA-99,AK,AQ,AJ,KQs}.
On which of the following flops is he most likely to have top pair or better? On which is he least likely to have top pair or better?
