October 30, 2009
A good poker friend of mine sent me this interesting link from donkeytest.com which is a poker skill test. It is the first and only of its kind. They have a unique scoring system measures your overall poker skill level and assesses performance in 13 sub categories, revealing key strengths and weaknesses. Developed by poker professionals, this test is for no limit Hold’em cash games and tournaments (MTTs and SNGs).
Before taking the test, take these pointers into consideration:
- The test is free-bonus!
- The test is fairly in depth.
- Take the time to read the instructions and questions carefully.
- Dont rush the test
- Have fun, thie question go in depth so dont take it to heart if the results dissapoint.
Finally, this is what your scores mean:
| IQ Score | Skill Level |

| 75 – 89 | Donator (Expected to lose in all games) |

To be the best poker player you need to….know your poker
October 29, 2009
I want to be the best poker player that i can be. To be the best poker player i can be, what can i do to achieve this goal? Players like Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey and Gus Hanson have that regular poker players like me dont have? After some carefull consideration i have realised that its not just that the odds and percentages knowledge that give them an advantage but its the depth of their poker game knowledge and variety that gives them the ultimate edge.
Can you call yourself a poker player if you dont know, understand or play the other types of poker? My quest is to cover the basics of all the types of poker and practice them. So below i will add some links to the rules and concepts of all the poker game types.
- Texas Holdem
- Seven Card Draw
- Red Dog Poker
- Razz
- Omaha
- Five Card Poker
- Pai Gow
- Crazy Pineapple Poker
