9.) You are the chip leader in a tournament with 4 players remaining. Looking down at Ah - Jh, you raise to 6x the big blind. Everyone folds except for the big blind *****-raises all-in for an additional 10x the big blind. You therefore have to call 10x the big blind to win 22x the big blind.
The call is the smart play. TRUE or FALSE?
10.) You are playing heads-up against the chip leader at the final table of a tournament. Your opponent raised from the button and you called with 9d - 10d. The flop comes 7s - 8d - Jh. You should:
A. Check to your opponent
B. Push all - in
C. Make a small raise
11.) Following the previously mentioned scenario from question 10.), you check and your opponent bets the pot (Roughly 1/15 of your chip stack). You should:
A. Muck your cards
B. Call the raise
C. Make a small raise
D. Push all-in
12.) Rank the following starting hands from best to worst:
Kh - Ks
Ah - Kh
As - Ad
Qh - Jh
Jd - Jh
As - Kd
Ah - Qh
5s - 6s
8h - 8d
Answers will be posted later today.

10. mmmmm, think A is right, but maybe I would choose B, cause I don't want to give him the chance to get a hand on turn or river.... (this happend 2 often 2 me
11. I think C or D, ´cause I have a hand and I must try to double up

Just a feeling how often I won those hands
9.) TRUE. This is an easy call for the chip leader. The chip leader has the luxury in trying to take out opponents late in tournament play. Your Ah - Jh is only in really bad shape if your opponent has A - A, A - K or A - Q. The chances are it will be a coin-flip scenario that is well worth the 10x the big blind asking price.
10.) A. This is the perfect opportunity to try and trap your opponent. You have the nuts here with the J high straight. Perhaps your opponent didn't get a piece, or got a small piece of the flop. Give him the chance to try and catch up or bluff at the pot. If you play this type of hand right, you can still get all your money in, but as a call instead of a bet, ensuring that your opponent also gets his/her money in.
11.) B. Although you could probably squeeze a little more money out of your opponent with a small raise here, you are so far ahead of pretty much any hand your opponent might have that you can afford to simply call and feign weakness. This might allow you to win more money if you check the turn and again let your opponent fire at the pot.
12.) As - Ad, Kh - Ks, Ah - Kh, Ah - Qh, Jd - Jh, As - Kd, Qh - Jh, 8h - 8d, 5s - 6s.
