Welcome to the weekend, all. It’s time once more for another installment of “The Weekly PokerNews Poker Betting Strategy Quiz” featuring 10 questions derived from the past week’s worth of articles appearing in the Strategy section here at PokerNews.

You may be able to figure out the answers to some questions without having read the articles to which they refer, although you can always look back through the week’s articles to double-check your answers.
