Dont take tests like these too seriously Gaz, their sole purpose is to convince you that you need serious improvement and should buy all their products and ’secret tips’ when the truth is
You need serious improvement and should listen to your poker friends.

For Quickly Advancing Your Texas Hold’em Poker SkillsHere’s the specific skills areas you can learn from the professor himself!
1. Tournament Strategy Fundamentals – The fundamental strategies for winning poker tournaments – all kinds of tournaments, including Sit and Go tourneys, with betting strategies, money management, starting hands to play (and avoid!) and much more.
2. Playing Position Correctly – You’ll learn how to use position at the table properly and to your advantage, including which hands to play from which positions, and how to keep from losing your chips due to poor position.
3. Adjusting to Changing Conditions – The secrets to winning Sit and Go tournaments is adjusting your play as blinds and number of players changes. Done correctly, you’ll end up in the final 3 in the money. These are the most important secrets of winning on a consistent basis.
4. Winning Heads-up Play – Arguably one of the most misunderstood, yet most fun and important phase of a tournament, is playing heads-up against another good player. I’ll share the secrets of winning heads-up with you…you’ll not find these techniques anywhere else, and this chapter alone is worth the price of this entire e-book by itself. Playing winning heads-up poker means the difference between being the Champion and coming in 2nd Place. There’s a huge difference in payout that goes to the winner, along with the recognition as the tournament champion, so it’s important to be prepared to take 1st place every time you can.
5. Beating Aggressive Players – There’s something about no-limit Texas Hold’em that attracts the overly aggressive player, and these players can be very problematic to deal with, so this lesson shows how to take advantage of the aggressive and wild players, and strategies for moving their chip stacks into yours. This is extremely powerful, once you understand how to do it.
6. Tells – There are definitely “tells” you can use when playing poker. Do you know these tells? Do you use them? If not, chances are they’re being used against you! Gain the edge by understanding tells. Detecting weakness in other players and using this to your advantage enables you to take pots you wouldn’t otherwise get, steal blinds more effectively, and avoid wasting your chips when you’re already.
