Default Re: Question 7

Doyle says the 3rd re-raise is AA or KK. Since you have KK, the 3rd raiser most likely has AA. You got to see all of this before putting in much money. Get out cheap - Fold.

Default Re: Donkey Test

The donkey test is great, and I love this thread. It was well put together, and I think my average score was fairly accurate, however, I don't think a poker test should be timed. Taking away points for sitting back and thinking through a situation fully is wrong. Why was this a timed test? I know that regular IQ tests are timed, but a poker test should not be.

I don't see why not... you are timed when you play at the table.

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
