wtf happened? You take a year and a half off, only playing sparingly and this iis what happens to your game? F*#^

Highlights:
Your Tournament Play score of 20% is significantly lower than your average percentile score.This score is better than 2.28% of all persons taking this test.

Your General Poker IQ Score is 93 and shows how skilled you are in general. Anyone with a score this high is considered to be an average player. This score is better than 25.25% of all persons taking this test. You should expect to lose slowly in raked casino games and break even in homegames or in unraked games.

Computational speed wasn't really fair. I was doing other things while taking the test.

But still...



And that took like 40 minutes of life that I should have spent studying for my entrepreneurial finance exam. crap.

I think you're bad because you think this test reflects your abilities, not because of your score.

My PokerIQ is 117, in the 76th percentile, which of people who take this test can't be right, because I'm really not very good at NL. I probably just guessed correctly a lot.

"Your Small and Medium Pairs score ... is better than 99.69% of all persons taking this test." Um, how is set-camping better than 99.69% of how all people play?

Also, tournaments and big pairs also had far my weakest scores in these test results, but I know that in actuality these are definitely not the weakest points in my game.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

It's just all technical aspects of the game. It takes a lot more than technical stuff to be a great player.

[gabe]

thats such a stupid test anyway

[gabe]

i got a 138 IQ. half the questions were stupid for too many reasons.


btw my tourney play is 34%

I'm a 20NL grinder who got 131. I tanked a lot of the questions for a fair amount of time though.

[a500lbgorilla]

I got a 79, that's like a C+ right?! No bad.

No that's like mentally retarded. If they so a WSOP at the Special Olympics this year you should do well.

gp in his blog wrote that he thought the test was interesting.
Yeah Lyric wrote it. That's like the billionth time I've written that on this forum.

[ensign_lee]

I hate your friend iowa.

That is all

{quietly working to get you banned }

[Trikflow77]

i took the test while 8 tabling and got a 124. I can see how it can tell you your a donkey, but i dont think its the end all of how good of a player you are.

133...Anyone with a score this high is considered to be a high stakes pro

135, meh

[ensign_lee]

Y'all are NOT making me feel better.

I play $1/$2 NL whenever I play, which is sparingly, like every month or so, if that.

But y'all are probably right. This test shouldn't be the end-all be-all way to quantify my skill.

Wow, appartently this test think I'm a positional and small/medium pair prodigy. W00t!

I don't think this test can tell you a lot either. But it did nail me on sucking with big pocket pairs. Oh AA, I will tame you yet my fierce friend.

Anyone else fold the last hand in the test because you know not to fuck with KGB?

[a500lbgorilla]

Iowaskinsfan, pm me the correct answers plz.

[WildBobAA]

I would be really interested to hear what the "correct" answer is to this question. This hand is exactly the same as the one in Barry Greenstein's book where Barry folds and his opponent shows a set of Aces. I'm wondering if the creators of the quiz gave more points for folding because I really think calling is the more profitable play in the long run. But I admit that I put fold because I thought that it would get me more points on the quiz. I guess I leveled the test makers.

I just don't think you can put a guy squarely on AA here if you've only played with him for an hour total. In a live tournament that's like what 20-25 hands?

40. Tournament. The blinds are at 25/50 with no ante. You have 3200 chips in early position and raise to 150 with:

:Qc::Qs:

It is folded around to the small blind with 2200 chips. He has played 2 hands during the hour he's been at the table, and this is the first hand he has raised. He confidently re-raises to 350. You call. The flop is:

:Qh::As:

SB checks. You check. Turn is:


SB bets 250. You call. River is:



SB moves all-in quickly for his remaining 1600 chips. What should you do?

Fold
Call

i said call.

If it's out of Barry Greensteins book and his answer is fold then the correct answer (and by correct i mean donkeytest.com correct) is fold.

[gabe]

yea but thats so lame. lyric leaves alot of factors that i would consider out of alot of questions. that hand cant be evaluated how it was written.

[ensign_lee]

wtf? How can that POSSIBLY be fold?

Against unknown? Calling has to be ++++++++++EV there.

Then again, apparently, I'm a donk. Still though; that makes NO SENSE to me to fold there.

[IowaSkinsFan]

He's working at it. He fixes stuff every day, that's why it's only in Beta right now.

He told me he's probably taking the greenstein one out.

[Jimmy Mac]

I got 132.

I'd be interested to see the 'correct answers' but I couldn't find them on the site anywhere.
