    Here is a challange for you all, and post your results here.
    Over on the poker forum I haunt, there is a test on your Hold'em IQ. Now I got my tarot reading friend to do it and she got a poker IQ of 95

    So... lets see here if intuition can beat the professionals over on the other forum :D

    www.donkeytest.com

    Will be interesting!
    Hope some of you are up for it, wont take long doing it intuitively!!

    GL everyone.

    We will wait till we have at LEAST ten results and then we shall do our homework!! before we download the latest poker skins to our computer :p

    Score 92
    I didn't even read most of them as dont understand poker at all in fact never played the game in my life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭Gillybean72


    I got 87. considering I play I found it VERY hard to go on intuition and READ and analized the questions. I am not a good subject for the test as I KNOW I picked randoms and going against my intuition


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭karynp


    i scored 102
    I hate playing cards,have never even attempted poker in my entire life,and to be honest, i barely read the questions as they made no sense at all.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I notice most of the real poker players over on the other forum are getting 120 -140 on average, so we're not exactly wiping the floor with them using intuition. I had no idea poker was so complex and full of obscure terms anyway.

    A really interesting test would be to get some intuitive poker virgins to play against these guys. :)

    Well they say over 100 is average player, so I would say you all did very well. And I think the test would be good craic, I will see if I can get a couple to bite.

    What we could do is ask say 3 to do the challange using the playchips on pokerstars, that way no money is out. AND it also shows on bottom right of screen if you have a hand.

    I would be up for it, but I have been playing nearly every day since last May... so I would prolly have to fall into the poker player catagory.

    There is a festival on at the moment that loads of the boardsies are playing, but I will ask a few mon or tue if we can get 3 people from here to take up the challange!

    Its all for good fun anyway...
