Find out, take the Donkey Test:

http://donkeytest.com/

I got a 137, though that was over a year ago. I'll take it again tomorrow to see if I am still at the top of my game.

It is a great test to see how far along you are in your poker learning.

Take it and post your score!

Wauw that was the best poker test i've ever tried. I found it extremely challenging and very entertaining.

My results:
Your PokerIQ is: 142

P.S What did you answer to #3 WD?

Yes it is a good test, developed by a professional high stakes player. I used to stake people into the Sunday Million on PokerStars and the first thing I had them do was take that test.

Nobody ever got a 142, that is a really good score! I would be amazed if anybody beats that without cheating.

I just looked at the test and number three is rough. I think I would choose to call because of the pot-odds, getting more than 1.5:1.

you have to fold 1010 there... your odds are terrible here

I came to the conclusion that you have to call. Think about this: There are only 6 2-card combination giving you a PP while 12 2-card combinations gives you AK or AQ. Therefore, the amount of times you are dealt AK or AQ outweights the amount of times you are dealt AA KK QQ and JJ. I know you are dominated when you are up against a bigger pocketpair, but TT vs AQ or AK is not a coinflip at all. TT got, at least, 55%. This adds up, making a call the correct decision IMO.

And thanks for the compliment WD. I just looked through the questions a second time and i'm thinking 150 is probably the highest possible score. What do you think?

if u think this way then u are not playing the player at all... and you will never fold 99 1010 JJ or QQ pf

there is no way you can call with 1010 there you dont have good pot odds and you can get away from the hand without losing too much

I would call there with QQ but fold anything worse 1010 isnt a premium hand and is a must fold here imo

#51 was interresting too. I ended up just calling, but now that I think about it, pushing all-in is the right move. He isn't going to call with a flush, but IF he has a FH like you, only AA beats you while both 88 and 98 loses plus he is more likely to have 88 than AA due to the fact that you are holding an A.
The BR doesn't matter at all. The right decision cannot be determined by the size of your BR. If you BR starts to affect your play, you will end up being a losing player due to being too afraid of value betting etc.

I have foldet KK preflop a bunch of times, so I am capable of making big laydowns preflop.

I just did the math and I admit my answer was wrong. I was unable to do this piece of math in my head during the test :P
JJ, QQ, KK, AA is a total of 24 2-card combinations that have you crushed to 20% or so. AQ and AK is also a total of 24 2-card combinations that you are at least 55% favor to win against. You have to pay 1300 to win 2000. You need odds 13 to 20 which equals about 39,39% (lets call it 40%). You are winning 37,5% on avarage. You need like 2,5% more winning chances to call.

My apology MoneyMatt1

I'll try to get the creator of the test to come give us the answer to the TT problem as well as what the highest possible score is.

And MoneyMatt I consider great than 1.5:1 pretty good odds to justify a call. If we were getting to 2:1 we should be calling with a huge range...we should not be tightening up to QQ+ for 1.6:1 or whatever this is. If he had a full stack and shoved, maybe its a fold...but he only had 30x

Buldermar

We should fold TT based on the given info. (He only makes the move with AK, AQ, AA KK QQ and JJ) At least that's my conclusion based on the math.

Buldermar

116 isn't very far from 150 either..

Mlubin
12-25-2008, 02:32 AM
Its pretty far but then again the test isnt based on my bread and butter games so i guess i shouldn't be to displeased.

Buldermar

The test is very math-based.

Degen
12-25-2008, 03:33 PM
116 seems to be about average of the scores I have seen. It is an above average poker knowledge. That tells me people who take the test in the first place (or who don't give up) already have above average poker knowledge.

Where you see resistance is around the 130 level. Not a lot of people score in the 130's+

The casino question..what did you guys answer? Is 5k enough to cover a 5/10NL cash game in a casino?

I've never played live let alone 5/10$ live lol Interesting to know the answer :D

Danielle Angel
12-26-2008, 01:50 PM
I think $3000 is sufficient to cover 300BB @ $10, I think thats about the rate. Keep in mind something that was not mentioned though .....is this the whole bankrole ? If this 5k is all the person has then no it is not enough to cover. If he needs to cover it and have sufficient bankrole he would need I think approx .... $30k .... thats a think and a think btw :p

My score was 90's also :o I dont feel so bad now :) Hope you were not fibbing to get mine on here mate lmao :D.... regardless i will sit it again when I dont have 10 distractions :p

The question as i read it was is someone who has a bankroll of 5000 properly bankrolled to play 5-10, unless my reading comprehension just sucks. I dont think the question was meant as if someone sits with 5k at 5-10 is this enough money.

That's not how I understood the question. 5k is more than enough for 5/10 imo. It doesn't say it's the whole bankroll. I don't think this question is a matter of bankroll management.

it sure was a question of bankroll managment, pretty sure about this in my opinion

Buldermar

I don't remember what I answered. The question just seems to be pretty obvious if it's a matter of BRM - compared to the difficulty of many of the other questions.

The question was worded something along the lines of

Is 5000 dollars enough money to bankroll a player for a 5-10 nl cash game.

mustardeggs
01-07-2009, 06:36 PM
yes I agree but still its much more ridicolous to ask if 5K is enough to play in a 5/10 game then to ask if its a proper bankroll ;)

Buldermar
01-07-2009, 06:40 PM
True that. Hold on lemme check which of the answers is the correct.

Buldermar
01-07-2009, 06:48 PM
Oh nvm.. you can only take the test once with one email adress.

Degen
01-07-2009, 07:08 PM
that was clearly a BRM question. it was an absolute no. 5k is not enough to play 5/10.

many 5/10 games live are capped at 1k. surely they weren't asking if 5 buy-ins was enough for one session, its obv more than enough.

however it is a terribly small bankroll for those stakes. answer was: NO

I'm going to make a new email and take the test again at some point when I find time to do so. I find the test very challenging :P
