Mistakes in your end of module 3 quiz

[jafainlondon]

hi - just took the quiz and got 13/15 could I please point out the following:

Question 5:
After the flop you have an open ended straight draw, what percentage chance is there of hitting one of your outs on the river?

The chance of hitting your straight BY the river is 32%. The chance (on a card by card basis) of hitting your straight ON the river as the question is posed is actually only 16%.

Question 6:
You are holding 9s 8s and the flop comes down as 7c As Td. The total pot before the flop was $3 and your opponent bets $1. What should you do?

You have a 32% chance of hitting your straight by the river, and I agree the % on the call overall is 20% to the river. However this assumes your opponent will not make another (larger?) bet on the turn if it is a blank. I would really only be prepared to pay for one card only (unless short stacked) so the odds are really (a wee bit over) 16% making the call/fold decision a journey into implied odds.

Great site though - keep up the good work.

Hi Jafain and welcome.

Q5 - good spot the wording is not quite correct - I will look into it.

Q6 - yes we don't deal with Impied odds until later in the course, so at that stage of the course we are not looking at the murky waters of implied odds just yet.

Thanks again for your comments.
