Poker Iq test

I really want to tell the guy who created this test that an open bet and sizable reraise at the flop is NOT THE NUT EVERY TIME.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm not trying to defend this test, but the places where it was trying to get us to fold were correct. Hand values are relative and this test took great pains to set up unusal scenerios where you fold huge hands because the only thing you beat are bluffs. Of course, this ended up playing like "spot the test maker's logic" rather than anything having to do with real poker, but I don't feel like the test was overly nitty. More like overly contrived.

not sure I understand the scoring of the test. Took it once, tried to think about the answers, got interrupted a few times. I got 100.

Took it again, as fast as possible, under 1 minute for whole thing, answering fold when it was an option, 1st answer otherwise, and only giving any time to a couple of questions.

Got exactly 100 again. Difference in time must have made up for my almost random answers.

Yes, this is the problem. This isn't a test of poker smarts...its a test of speed. They didnt tell us that did they? if they had we could have optimized our strategy.

ok. this probably explains why i got 91.

i took the test at work over 3 hours and got 0% on the time factor.

sweet, I'm not the only degenerate that didn't score above 100.

Then again, I think that based on the test I'm a calling station [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

106 trying hard, but a little distracted and not trying to go fast. 94 when just picking random answers quickly and a few that I remembered seemed right. so speed is a factor but it can't override dumb answers

Thanks for posting this test (even though the test itself is pretty sorry; it was pretty fun.) I got a 108, but I didn't see the "correct" answers. Is there a way to see them?

105.

This test is so stupid.
1. Too less information about your opponents.
2. Silly Hero.
3. Is there really a time limit? I did it while watching TV and playing online and didn't read anything about that.
4. A lot of borderline decisions and I think there is only 1 right answer.
How can you get almost 600 points in HoH III and have an """"IQ""" of 90?
And no, I am not a losing player in cash games...

Part of the test is in the begining when it says when you are ready click here to begin. This should be somewhat of a clue that it is timed, Right? if your smart you would know this

Now you have to pay for detailed results. I rushed through and got a 107 but would probably do worse if taken time, not sure how to play a lot of those NL cash games since I rarely do.
