i find that the donkeytest exaggerates the score by about 10 points. so if you scored a 121, you really are about a 111, which means, according to the chart, that you're barely a low stakes winner (but you should be a consistent winner in the long run). of course this test neglects issues such as emotional state and tilt, so if you don't have a problem with those then you'd be a consistent winner at 50NL and maybe at 100 NL, whereas if you do have tilt issues (like me yea!!!!!) then you'd be break even at best

for example my score was a 132 but there is no way i'd be a high stakes pro. in reality i subtracted that by 10 to see that i'm a 122, which means that i should be a small winner at 200 NL and a very very small winner at 400 NL. of course then my bankroll management sucks and i suck at tilt so my status drops down to like a 110.

whatever, dude. this test is Taylor Caby approved and it says I'm a mid stakes pro. plus I've been improving at a rate of 33 points per year, so I should be crushing nosebleeds by at least 2010.

I got 119, despite most of the questions being about NL1K and I barely ever play cash games. I wish they had seperate tests for tournament, cash, and STT because I honestly don't care how well I did in the cash game questions.

fwiw I usually said raise allin if you had a good hand with lots of action around you, because in tournaments bottom 2 pair is the nuts but I guess in cash it isnt.

110 - 119 Low Stakes Winner (Wins at 100 NL and lower)

(Wins at 200-600 NL and tournament poker)
130 - 144 High Stakes Pro (Wins at 1K NL+)
145 - 159 Poker Genius

I trust more to the real life results than to the computational speed results where a normal person scores 100. I could argue against the traditional speed tests (e.g. they should give more time as a person who can't solve something in a reasonable time, will fail, but the one who is not overly speedy, can still succeed). But I don't argue against success, e.g. if my opponent beats me at my best game, he is smarter than I am.

123, annoying that they were missing info on at least one tourney/sng question like # players, payout, exact position, reads etc.

My 120 score means that I can be a medium stakes cash pro or tournament pro? Nice, I just need to quit losing at 1-2 so I can build up my roll before I move to Vegas.

I took the test a year ago when I was smashed and my mad skills landed me with an 86. Tonight, I have only had two drinks, and scored 121. Just imagine what I would score if I drank O'doul's.

Fail. I read the questions as: What would you do in your usual game, instead of: What would Harrington recommend.

102 imo.

116. Almost all the questions are very relative, there is never a correct move in poker, there is a more suitable choice for that specific situation, as we know, but i guess they did the best they could to come up with a fun test. Maybe just too long...
I have a feeling that if I folded those kings pre flop i would get 20 extra points...lol
