Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Nice one muze. Test was much better than I was expecting and quite interesting results. I got a poker IQ of 125. Lowest was computational speed which I think may have been because I was interrupted half way through :unsure Scored best with small & medium pairs, flop texture and logic. I guess that makes sense.

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Nice one Murze... except I am quite obviously a FISH! Scored 87 Can't play tournaments... do pot odds... or pretty much anything. Good test... I did find it difficult trying to decide between what I thought was the best thing to do and what I would actually do! Will re-run it and see what I get... probably be lower!! :loon Well, the re-run only got me up to 100... so still an average Jo. Found it hard to visualize the game though by the desriptions though... weak excuse, I know! It seems a lot of people have very similar outcomes with small-medium pairs being the best and worst being big pairs! P.S. Being average really sucks!! I want to be special.:lol

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! I got 104. Pretty average, it seems. Although I can play small/medium pairs very well. I think the thing is, it's not a true indictment of how you play, since it's harder to visualise what's going on from the way it's worded instead of actually being at the table.

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Cheers for this mrm. :ok Your General Poker IQ Score is 111 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 65.54% 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. Best - Pot Odds Sometimes you are required to call when you know you're losing because the price is right. Sometimes you must fold because you're facing a bet that is too big or becase an opponent does not have enought money behind to justify an implied odds call. Failing to make the correct odds calls is a major error. Sometimes it is correct to call in some surprising situations. Your Pot Odds score of 71% is exceptionally higher than your average percentile score.This score is better than 91.92% of all persons taking this test. Worst - Hand Selection It is important choose which hands to play by adjusting for position, stack sizes, and the tendencies of your opponents. Beginners often have no awareness of relative hand strength, often play weak hands out of position, or easily dominated hands against tight opponents. Your Hand selection score of 47% is significantly lower than your average percentile score.This score is better than 42.07% of all persons taking this test. P.S. I liked the very last question very much.

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Cheers Mr M :ok Your PokerIQ is: 124 Poker IQ Score Your General Poker IQ Score is 124 and shows how skilled you are in general. Anyone with a score this high is considered to be an low to mid stakes pro. This score is better than 88.49% of all persons taking this test. You should expect to win in low to mid stakes NL holde'em games. You scored higher than your average percentile score in 7 individual ability categories. 4 of these better scores could be called statistically significant and may indicate special abilities, or that you were distracted on those parts of the IQ Test that counted more heavily in the other ability categories. Best - Small and Medium Pairs The ability to play small and medium pairs is typically difficult for beginners. Typically beginners will call too much pre-flop with these hands and overplay overpairs on the flop. Folding a set is rarely correct but sometimes necessary. Your Small and Medium Pairs score of 81% is exceptionally higher than your average percentile score.This score is better than 98.06% of all persons taking this test. Worst - Big Pairs The ability to play big pairs correctly is important for any successful NL hold'em player. Although over time big pairs will be the most profitable hands, playing them incorrectly can lead to disasterous results. Beginners get themselves into trouble by slow playing and/or overplaying big pairs, and often try to be excessively tricky with them. Although poor players sometimes play their big pairs correctly, it is rare. In general better players will win more and lose less with JJ+ as they gain skill and experience. Your Big Pairs score of 38% is significantly lower than your average percentile score.This score is better than 21.19% of all persons taking this test.

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! 107 exceptional positional play good hand selection good computation speed the rest average except for aggression, which was low - which might explain why I have good hand selection, as i tend to fold the small/med PP in cash games unless I am button/blinds and can limp in as i can't see them being profitable in the long run thanks Damo

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now!

i got 100 :loon
SNAP - I also just scraped through to 3 figures. My excuse was that I had finished in about 20 minutes, didn't check my work as I tell my children to do before we're asked to put our pens down, and thought it be better (and more honest) to go with my first thought. Worst area - unsurprisingly - tournament play :lol

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! I also scored 113, however I scored lowest on the tourny part, I found that quite surprising as its the one area of my game that i thought was reasonably strong. I guess I'll need to look more into it, see if I can improve my tourny decision making, I know if I'd taken this test before I found PL I would have scored a lot lower so a big thanks to all you guy's,:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy . hope one day I can repay the compliment and pass on some knowledge to you guys,but I think I've got some way to go yet.:ok

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Poker IQ Score Your General Poker IQ Score is 104 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 0.04% 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. You scored higher than your average percentile score in 6 individual ability categories. 6 of these better scores could be called statistically significant and may indicate special abilities, or that you were distracted on those parts of the IQ Test that counted more heavily in the other ability categories. Position Solving many of the IQ Test's problems required the ability to analyze your position at the table, considering blind levels and stack sizes, the tendencies of your opponents and the strength of your hand.. Many poker situations require analysis of position. The ability to play in and out of position strongly is required for skilled NL hold'em players. Your Positional Play score of 41% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 34.46% of all persons taking this test. Blinds Understanding what changes occur when out of postion but required to put in half a bet are important. By far, the blinds will be any NL hold'em player's least profitable seats. It is important to play out of the blinds correctly in order to minimize losses over time. Your Blinds score of 35% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 21.19% of all persons taking this test. Tournaments This is the ability to change your strategy, hand strengths, calling and pushing ranges as blinds and antes rise. It is most useful during tournament play, but is useful in dealing with short stacks in deeper stacked cash game play. It is important to learn tournament skills even for cash game specialists. Strong tournament skills should translate to more tournament cashes and deeper finishes. Your Tournament Play score of 59% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 80.69% of all persons taking this test. Big Pairs The ability to play big pairs correctly is important for any successful NL hold'em player. Although over time big pairs will be the most profitable hands, playing them incorrectly can lead to disasterous results. Beginners get themselves into trouble by slow playing and/or overplaying big pairs, and often try to be excessively tricky with them. Although poor players sometimes play their big pairs correctly, it is rare. In general better players will win more and lose less with JJ+ as they gain skill and experience. Your Big Pairs score of 31% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 14.31% of all persons taking this test. Small and Medium Pairs The ability to play small and medium pairs is typically difficult for beginners. Typically beginners will call too much pre-flop with these hands and overplay overpairs on the flop. Folding a set is rarely correct but sometimes necessary. Your Small and Medium Pairs score of 38% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 27.43% of all persons taking this test. Bluffing Bluffing is big part of NL hold'em. Bluffing and semi bluffing at the right times, recognizing that an opponent is likely to be bluffing and acting accordingly is important. Balancing your own bluffs and adjusting opponent calling ranges is essential. Your Bluffing score of 64% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 88.49% of all persons taking this test. Flop Texture Adjusting your play based on the "texture" of the flop is important. The flop cards should be analyzed in light of your opponent's tendencies, his suspected hand range, and the strength of your own hand. Failing to include the flop texture in your post flop decision making is a typical beginner mistake and is easily disasterous. As you gain experience in NL hold'em and play against more experienced opponents, it will become second nature and of paramount importance. Your Flop Texture score of 56% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 74.75% of all persons taking this test. Pot Odds Sometimes you are required to call when you know you're losing because the price is right. Sometimes you must fold because you're facing a bet that is too big or becase an opponent does not have enought money behind to justify an implied odds call. Failing to make the correct odds calls is a major error. Sometimes it is correct to call in some surprising situations. Your Pot Odds score of 58% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 78.81% of all persons taking this test. Logic Logically analyzing the action during a hand is important. Players with strong logical ability are quicker to see where a given set of conditions is leading, better understand the technical aspects of the game, often move up quickly in stakes and have little trouble with bankroll management. Your Logic score of 47% is not significantly different from your average score.This score is better than 50.00% of all persons taking this test. Betting Patterns An awareness of betting patterns serves a number of purposes. It is useful for analyzing the playing styles of opponents and for finding errors in your own game. Often beginning players have no awareness of common betting patterns. Experienced players are somtimes able to watch a hand, adjust for the skill, experience and tendencies of each player and determine almost exactly what each player holds. Your Betting Patterns score of 47% is not significantly different from your average score.This score is better than 50.00% of all persons taking this test. Hand Selection It is important choose which hands to play by adjusting for position, stack sizes, and the tendencies of your opponents. Beginners often have no awareness of relative hand strength, often play weak hands out of position, or easily dominated hands against tight opponents. Your Hand selection score of 43% is significantly lower than your average score.This score is better than 39.49% of all persons taking this test. Aggression Aggression is important in poker. It increases your equity in most hands by giving you an extra way to win the pot. Your opponent may fold. Playing passively yields only one way to win -- with the best hand at showdown. Beginners typically play too loose and too passive. Excessively aggressive players will lose less than passive players. A balanced tight aggressive strategy is typically best for NL holde'em depending on game conditions and stack sizes. Loose aggressive style is more difficult to master but can often be extremely profitable. Your Aggression score of 61% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 84.13% of all persons taking this test. Computational Speed Solving problems quickly indicates a combination of experience and card sense. Experienced players can often play most hands automatically, and only require significant thought for the most complex situations. Experienced players should easily answer a good amount of the questions on this test, leaving extra time to focus on the more complex situations. Your Computational Speed score of 64% is exceptionally higher than your average score.This score is better than 88.49% of all persons taking this test

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! Great test MrM, though a bit harsh!! I apparently have a poker IQ of 8, showing roughly the same ability as a retarded orang-utan. If I learn to count past 5 it will improve my game, it seems. I should expect to lose a fortune every time i play, and should sell my PC immediately. I scored zero in several categories, indicating that i have special needs.:loon

Re: Poker IQ Test - No cheating now! I scored 109 and it told me I would struggle to beat the rake in cash games which is true but I still do, just, but it seems to be by less each month Also told me I am in the top 10% in tourneys which amazed me as I regard them as a massive drain on my bankroll. Although since doing the test my tourney results have improved
