13. Why is that ?
Ans : Given the cards showing in his opponents’ hands, he may have only a small chance of winning just half the pot.

14. What does this player figure to have ?
Ans : At least a gut-shot straight draw, but more likely a flush draw as well.

15. When you have reduced your opponent’s possible hands to a limited number, what do you use to determine what he probably holds ?
Ans : Mathematics.

16 . Suppose a tight player starts with a six up, catches a blank on fourth street, and then catches an ace on fifth street. Now he bets. You hold a hidden pair of kings with two small cards up and are trying to determine whether you should call or fold. If a couple of aces already were exposed, especially on third street, what should you do ?
Ans : You should continue on when be bets.

17 . Why is this correct ?
Ans : Because it is much more probable that you are against four low cards rather than three low cards and a pair of aces.

18. What if the aces are all live and you think this is a likely card for your opponent to have in the hole ?
Ans : You should strongly consider folding.

19. Why ?
Ans : Because you could be locked out of the high and your reading hands does not have two-way potential.

20. Suppose you start with A A 2 . You raise, and an aggressive opponent behind you, who has a trey up, reraises. On fourth street, both you and your opponent pair your door cards, and he bets. What should you do ?
Ans : If you think your opponent is equally as probable to have two other small cards in the hole as another trey, you should at least call.

21. If you now catch a trey on fifth street and your opponent bets again after catching an eight, what is your play ?
Ans : Your play is to raise if you know this opponent would bet again if he had only a pair and four low cards.

22. What is another factor in reading hands and deciding how to play your own hand ?
Ans : The number of players in the pot.

23. How do players tend to play their hands in multiway pots ?
Ans : Much more straightforwardly.

24. When else do they play in a more straightforward manner ?
Ans : When several online poker players are yet to act.
