I am not sure of the validity of the test, and some of the problems require experience that I don't have, but anyway:

128,
so according to this very scientific test I could be a low to mid stakes pro. :-)

I shouldn't play tournaments though. But that one I figured myself.

Edit: I had to take a break for actually doing some work during the test som my speed was in the bottom 15%. When redoing it with the same answers as before, but maxing on time I reached 133. So I think that should be my real score. Or whatever.
:-)

My tournies and blind play was lower than my average too.

lol 118, some of those hands are retarded and I would never play them that way.
Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

130. Apparently they think my blind play is weak, but I'm not too impressed with them either, so whateverl. For a lot of the questions, I'd make up my mind which action was best and they wouldn't have it in the list. Or they'd put me in horrible river situations for no reason at all.

117.

My strong points were positional play and all pairs. Weak points were tourney play (which made me chuckle since I have been playing them almost exclusively lately and my ROI > 100%) and bluffing.

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
