if anyone has a spare tens mins take the poker i.q test on the right hand side of the cardrunners.com page . i scored 99 , the top pros scores varied from about 125-150 . differant scenarios based on 13 sub catagories all multiple choice . good fun have a look

yeah..saw it a while ago and discussed this with doubleup in stanleys...there are some questions that we both have doubts on as to whether the answers they count as correct are actually correct.

Mainly the "A pro player loses a lot of money playing A10 from under the gun"..the correct answer according to the test is Yes..we both agreed it should be no as A10 from UTG simply is an awfull hand and shouldn't be played.

Some of the "selected" top pros scores varied from 125-150, i'm sure there were scores lower than that but their blushes were spared by their results not being released :)

???

ok, monkey may be missing something here but question asks "a player loses money from playing A10 utg" and the answer is "yes" - therefore he loses money.

You say it should be "no" - therefore he wins money, but then say its an awful hand and shouldnt be played.........

no for that 1 its saying for a poker pro its typically a losing hand playing a10 from utg not that hes been losing money playing it

lol no because you can't lose money if you don't play the hand. Doubleup and I both argued that a pro-player doesn't play A10 off from UTG and therefore doesn't lose money playing it.

ffs..lol heres the exact question " in a full ring game AT off suit is typically a losing hand UTG for most poker pros. ture or false?

without actually reading the quiz it just sounds as though the questions haven't been worded or written very well leading to ambiguity.

Is it american by any chance?  ;whistle;

yes indeed..and we argue that the answer should be no!..most pokerpro's wouldn't play A10 off suit UTG. :)

lol it doesnt say anywhere that they play it tho!

i think this is the point boldie is trying to make and why i think it hasn't been worded well.

boldie is saying that the "correct" answer according to the test is "true" when in effect most pro's would lay down A10 o/s utg and therefore the answer should be "false" as they are not losing any money because they choose not to play it.

if the question read "in a full ring game playing AT off suit is typically a losing hand UTG for most poker pros. ture or false?" i think the answer would be more accurate.

i just got 775 which far out scored anyone in hte history of poker they refused to give me my award and accused me of cheating

or maybe i was just too lazy to fill it in

lol i know what he ment matt

indeed..typical American IQ test..made up so they can actually score higher than 76 on one.

Sits and waits for MadYank to show up ;)

Got your number!!!

In all seriousness though the whole IQ test thingy-majig is pretty absurd really.  IQ tests are factual, there is only one right answer. The concept of having an IQ test for poker situations is just plain wrong.  Its open to interpretation, there is no wrong answer, it depends on the prevailing logic.  That said, i was a sucker and had a crack - pretty pleased with my 118 - although in fairness its pretty meaningless - ill still go and dump off a shed load of cash tonight!!

The question is shorthand for 'Most poker pros see playing AT off UTG as a losing play in the long run, true or false?'...answer is true. Badly worded, though
