Poker quiz: find out what you really know
Updated November 2026
Twenty questions, from what beats what to bluffing math. You get the reason after every answer and a breakdown by topic at the end.
What does my score mean?
Your score tells you which topic to study next. It has nothing to do with how much you'll win, because this quiz tests what you know and can't see how you play under pressure.

What does the quiz cover?
Six topics, in the order they usually matter to someone learning the game: what beats what, where you sit, which hands to play, how to price a call, how to count what he might have, and how bets work.
Where the 20 questions come from
Questions per topic
Every question comes with the reason, so getting one wrong still teaches you something. Questions are drawn from a larger set, so a second attempt will be a little different.
What should I know for each topic?
Here's the short version of what the quiz is checking. Each topic has its own guide with charts and practice.
- What beats whatRoyal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, high card. Only five cards count, and suits never break a tie. Read hand rankings.
- Your seatThe button acts last after the flop, and the small blind acts first. The more players left behind you, the fewer hands you should play. Read positions.
- Which hands to playA chart shows what to raise when everyone before you has folded. Pairs run down the diagonal, suited hands are above it and offsuit hands are below. Read preflop charts.
- Pricing a callDivide your call by the total pot after you've called. A half-pot bet needs 1 win in 4, a full-pot bet needs 1 in 3. Count outs and multiply by 2 or 4 to get your chance. Read pot odds and outs.
- Counting handsThose are the combos each one has. Cards in your hand reduce what he can have. Read ranges.Pair6Suited4Offsuit12
- 1-bet2-bet3-bet4-betHow bets workA 3-bet is the first re-raise. A bluff of 8 to win 4 has to work 67% of the time. Against a pot-size bet you have to continue at least half the time. Read about 3-bets and GTO.
