Anyone who has played no-limit hold'em has likely encountered the following situation at one point or another.
An all-in situation occurs — be it before the flop or on a later street — and after the cards go on their backs, one of the involved players looks at the other's cards and utters some version of the following:
"I'd rather have your hand."
More often than not, the person saying this is technically ahead in the hand, though vulnerable to draws and perhaps — in some cases — not even a favorite with more community cards to come.
Today's installment of "The Weekly PokerNews Strategy Quiz" presents eight all-in situations — some before the flop, some after — and asks you to say which hand you'd rather have. The correct answer in each case will be the hand that represents the favorite going forward, so keep that in mind as you make your choices.
Getting six of eight right will earn you a passing grade, and after your done you can look at the "Top results" to see how you did on the quiz compared to others. If logged into your PokerNews account, your username will appear on the list. Need an account? Click here to create one.
