The Weekly PokerNews Strategy Quiz: Think of It As One Long Game

09-05-2015 75387 responses Top results

It’s another Saturday, which means it’s time again for another edition of “The Weekly PokerNews Strategy Quiz,” featuring 10 questions derived from the past week’s worth of articles appearing in the Strategy section here at PokerNews.

Getting seven or more correct out of 10 earns you a passing grade, and if you get any wrong you’ll get a note explaining the correct choice. You may be able to figure out the answers to some questions without having read the articles to which they refer, although you can always look back through the week’s articles to double-check your answers.

Ready? Get started. And take all the time you need... we won’t call the clock.
