Most of the questions are mathematical problems. Readers may find this part interesting although most of the situations covered are also featured in other poker books. Despite such fact, readers will nonetheless find these quizzes valuable.

The third section of "When to Hold 'Em and When to Fold 'Em" is titled "Miscellanea," which includes poems that William Edwin Barnes himself has written, thoughts on the game of chess, and the differences between knowledge and intelligence.
