What do you take from...

Over the course of my time as a Railbird I have often wondered what other's take away from the Daily Quizzes.
Poker is an ongoing learning experience and while there's times when we may all agree that a specific hand should be played one way or another. I know there's often times when we don't agree with the Quizmaster, but to me there is no "wrong answer" there's often a better choice, but I wouldn't say one is right or wrong. For me taking the quiz helps to give me someone else's perspective and opens up my mind to the thought of playing hands differently in certain circumstances.
What do YOU get out of taking the quiz??

I read it once in a while and I tend to agree with the basic logic
of a lot of his answers , the interesting thing to me is seeing
other peoples comments , but you're right poker is a very
situational game , the right answer is usually IT DEPENDS
lol
I don't participate, the quizzmaster and I don't see eye to eye on much, and more often than not, he doesn't give information up front that he uses in his answer, and that just pisses me off ...lol...at least it use to be that way, haven't hardly looked since December of last year.
....play on .....Tc.....
From taking the quiz, I think I know exactly how the quizmaster plays and could beat him. However, we all play differently so many of his answers I feel are wrong, or not how I would play.
I try to get information and ideas, even when I feel the 'correct' answer, is NOT. Gathering information is critical in playing good poker and any source of information is a good thing.
It's also a place to get an overview of what percentage of people really feel that a particular answer or strategy gets votes. Don't think the quiz actually sets any one standard, it's just a starting point for discussion.
Have to always keep in mind that there is never just one absolute answer in poker decisions. If there was just one 'right' way, there would only be one book for each game since any other books would simply be carbon copies.
I do agree some of the questions don't give all the info needed
to answer the question , those ones just leave me scratching
my head lmao ,
most times the quiz is holdem related but on the few times it's
been omaha , well have mercy , I don't think he plays omaha
much , but it's interesting to see the others responses on it !
I learn from them - non-stop! They're one of the learning tools i first discovered when I joined.. I get to compare my thought processes with someone who obviously knows more than me. I find that as I play more and more my thinking leans more and more towards the quiz masters. I reach the same conclusions through the same thought process, more and more.
Definitely an aid for me!
Good luck on the tables!
The quiz often gives me new ideas, new ways to play a hand, new strategys to test.
Yeah they don't always work but the ones that do become weapons in my ever expanding arsenal.
Thats the beauty of railbirds.com - so much variety and so many opinions i can mix and match til i've honed my game to perfection
