10-10-2015 75823 responses Top results

We know the lines by heart, delivered by Edward Norton as Worm in the 1998 film Rounders in an effort to cheer up Mike McDermott (Matt Damon) who is feeling low.

We refer, of course, to Worm��s list of things that cheer him up: ��rolled up aces over kings... check-raising stupid tourists and taking huge pots off them... stacks and towers of checks I can��t even see over....��

By the end, Mike��s mood has done a 180��. Soon they��re out the door and on the way to Atlantic City.

With the opening riff of James Gang��s ��Funk #49�� blaring in all of our memories, then, we present another installment of ��The Weekly PokerNews Strategy Quiz,�� a stack of 10 multiple-choice questions culled from articles appearing in the Strategy section over the past week here at PokerNews.

Getting seven or more correct earns a passing grade, and for any incorrect responses you��ll get an explanation of the correct choice. Don��t forget, you can always look back through the week��s Strategy articles if you need any hints along the way.

Ready? You are? Don��t tease me...
