Rules
There are 12 questions, to enter you should PM your answers by Monday 19th May 20:00. Please put RSQ in the subject line (otherwise you will receive an additional penalty point to your score), and put each answer on a different line (same penalty for ignoring this as well).
Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.
You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers. These aren’t meant to be impossible questions the skill isn’t in thinking of an answer, it’s in thinking up an uncommon answer
If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score +5.
You MUST pass on one question and score a 0 for that question, and you may not pass questions 11 or 12.
Objections will be considered during the reveal, however my decision will be final. The reveal will likely take place on Monday 19th May. If there is a tie for the lead after the 11 rounds, then there will be a tie-break question. This will be given on the evening of the reveal and will probably be a closest-wins type affair.
QUESTIONS
1. Name an English County which both starts AND ends with a consonant.
2. Name any of the 20 premier league clubs (2013-2014 season).
3. Name any Country with a population above 100 million.
4. Name any winner of the US Masters golf since 1990.
5. Name any casino on the Las Vegas Strip which both starts AND ends with a consonant.
6. Name a current daily British newspaper.
7. Name the colour of any ball on a snooker table.
8. Name any of the top 25 selling music artists of all time.
9. Name any of the current flavours of original Walkers crisps (This excludes variations such as Sensations, Monster Munch, Doritos etc.: Original flavours only).
10. Name a Country where Spanish is an OFFICIAL language.
You CANNOT pass any of the next 2 questions:
11. Choose any whole number between 20-50, with this number being the number of points you risk getting penalised. BUT: If you choose the highest number out of all the entries, you get penalised that number of points. If you choose the lowest number out of all the entries, you get a penalty equal to that of the person who chose the highest number). All other answers in between the highest and lowest answers score 0. Choose wisely!
12. As always, select an answer that has been given for any of the previous questions.
Good luck!

I have to say I think you're both right here, for him to call his stack off would be a lot harder so I should have put him to the sword.
And the previous hand must have played a part.
Eurgh, so many mistakes that level which cost me so big. Time to learn from these mistakes and onto the next one!

I know my range on the button is wide here and so top pair could easily be good, but after firing every street i feel like it's very hard to call without a premium hand. Welcome Happy with pre and flop, but on the turn I think I give up. If kicker plays it makes it a lot easier to play but now we are only getting folds from Qx and some straight draws that we beat and could potentially get to showdown against where we have the best hand. If he knows you are opening fairly wide when folded to IP (which I imagine is the case if you open K6) Then it makes the river a sigh call for him with Ax. There's a fair few turns I continue on (7-), but think this is the worst card for trying to make him fold. Don't think it's stupid since it's fairly obv what he has here, just an unnecessarily tough spot to take when we aren't 100% sure whether he folds Ax vs this line. Very much what JG says. Are you George by any chance? If so, then its very likely your going to be seen to be wide and capable of unloading the clip lite. I sat with you the other week in the 250 and I had assigned u a laggy range, but didn't really get involved. I saw one or two pots where people called off a little lighter than they probably would ordinarily, purely because of the image. Well thats what I thought anyway! Yes this is George, i have no idea who anyone on this forum is because i'm new to it- are you Ryan who was on my table? I didn't shove because I think a shove looks more bluffy in this spot, whereas betting 51k looks like i'm trying to extract value from him. Sorry if i did get the board wrong, i thought no flush came in? Maybe my mind is fucking with me.

This was a live event, in the money already. Blinds 2000/4000/500. I have around 180k, big blind has about 120k, average about 140k. Folded round to me on the button, raise to 9000 with , sb folds, bb calls. He's never really got out of hand with crazy bluffs, made a few loose calls before. Flop comes BB checks, I c-bet for 11k, BB calls. I put him on small aces, marginal queens and jacks, maybe J10, Q10 something like that. Turn: BB checks, I c-bet for 20k. BB think for 30seconds or so and flats, doesn't look overly comfortable. Still have him on previously states hands. River: . BB checks, I bet 51k for most of his stack, believing he'll fold the hands i put him on. Tanks for about 2 minutes before calling, showing . Was this bluff stupid? Lost a huge portion of my stack and bust shortly after and it's been bugging me since. (sorry if this isn't detailed enough, it's my first hand analysis post on here)
