Don't stop me now.
Here's a poker quiz:
1. At a six player limit table, four players are active. First to act raises the pre-flop betting to two bets, second player folds, and both blinds call the flop.
The flop is A-spades, K-spades 4-clubs.
Small blind checks the flop, big blind places a bet, and the pre-flop raiser acts. He raises to two bets. Small blind agonizes and then calls, clearly expecting a call from the player to his left. His hopes are confirmed when that player calls.
The turn card falls. It is a 10 of diamonds.
Small blind checks, big blind bets, third player raises. Small blind calls quickly, and big blind raises. Third player re-raises, making it three bets for a river card. Small blind calls again. Betting progresses until the raise-limit is reached. Big blind and player #3 raise each other and small blind calls it down.
The river is: 7 of spades.
Small blind checks, big blind checks, third player bets. Small blind raises, big blind raises to three bets. Player 3 folds. Small blind raises one final time, to four bets, and big blind calls.
What were the cards in hand? More importantly, what rank was each player's hand at each stage of the betting?
Well? You've decided on your answer?
Small blind had 9 2 spades.
Big blind had K K, or pocket kings.
First to act had A 4 off-suit.
Weeee! that was fun.

Why on earth did the 9-2 stick around that long. I think it was a horrible play to call the raise preflop. After that i guess you kinda have to call in limit. (4 to the flush)
Just an example of the shit I've been seeing at Canterbury.
