Default Re: Donkey Test

Online you are under legit time constraints, but this test rewards you for taking 5 sec. on avg. per question to make a decision vs. 15 sec. Also, this is another gripe, even though I'm finishing a degree in English and read all the time, if you're a slower reader- like I am (I sit and analyze each word or daydream)- then your score is being affected. Reading the texture of the board and reading your opponents are different sorts of reading than reading text (words) on a page or a computer screen. Poker is not really a test of how fast you can read. imo- it's not really about speed, but careful/ perceptive analysis
I'll admit, however, that when you're multi-tabling online, making quick decisions is important to a good hourly rate- the quicker you are the more tables you can play.

Maybe I'm wrong about how the donkey test is graded, but as I remember time is a factor into the score. I understand also that there is no perfect test, other than years of play and the money you pull in.

This was the best poker test I've taken.

* the thread seems to have fallen by the wayside, also, maybe there was too little interest/ was looking forward to more analysis
