Odds Challenge (quiz).



Posted Fri May 05, 2006 1:23 pm GMT by zeroswarm
Messing around with the odds calculator again so I thought I'd post up another little odds quiz.

Here what you need to do is firstly work out which hand is favourite to win, then calculate its percentage chance of winning.

Award yourself 2 pts for correctly identifying the hand that is favourite.
Award yourself 3 more pts if you calculate its percentage chance of winning within 5%.

Double your score at the end for an overall percentage rating.

Answers are spaced out below. Scroll down SLOWLY to reveal. Remember, the poker Gods hate cheats! Wink

Post scores below if u wish.

Good luck! 8)

You have a typo or something, because the answer to #5 is clearly wrong.

2B 78%
3A 82% forgot the queen
4B 50% so close
5C 50% i dunno wut happened
6B 42%
7C 64%
8B 70% so close to extra 3 pts
9D 38%
10D 68% dunno wut happened

Dont these all depends on chip counts?

Only one where I was off was #5, forgot to calculate the boat factor when finding the odds of the flush and A. So I guess 94%

Haven't looked at anyone elses answers yet, I promise. Here we go:

1. A - 54% 5pts
2. B - 78% 5 pts
3. A - 75% 5pts
4. B - 55% 2 pts
5. A - 64% 5 pts
6. B - 57% 2 pts
7. C - 80% 2 pts
8. B - 65% 2 pts
9. C - 42% 2 pts (that one was tricky!)
10. D - 56% 2 pts

Total points: 32
Percentage: 64% Sad

I got all of the answers right, but my percentages got more and more off as there were more hands involved.

Lol, I only edited cause I missed out the flop on hand #5 as sean pointed out...
This wasn't meant to be particularly easy which is why the points system is the way it is.
Thing is, if I made it too easy then how the hell am I gonna take any points off the likes of supa and JC? Confused Laughing
