Online Poker Study - All players are welcome

I took this one and it is much better than the others ones we have seen. It is primarily about playing poker instead of gambling so we will leave this one up.

I participated! Very nice study!

i can see that you have really worked on this thing, its very nice with not the normal trash the sport of poker should be known as this Keep the good work up

I started to do the study but whoever came up with these poker game situations is a donkey. I cannot put myself in these situations because the first 4 or 5 situations include terrible pre-flop decisions which i would never make. i would suggest you get a better than average hold em player to come up with new table situations. These are situations I would never be in because I would not have even played the hands pre-flop so i would not be in a situation where I have already committed chips with these suited connecters when out of position so therefore the hold em table scenarios would never apply to my game.

Interresting survey first time for me...
So family ok kiddo ok work ok poker ok let's just go for a beer....

Agree on the pre-flop situations moeraj - but this study is still far better than any others we have seen which were total crap.

done

I endorse this study (cos I graduated from uOttawa cum laude many winters ago)...
And yes it is less negative than the previous ones...

I've not seen the other studies but I think it still makes this study obsolete because it only applies to bad players. Even good lag players don't smooth call raises with suited garbage.If you're a tag player you see few flops but you play them aggressively when you do play. Therefore no good player,in my opinion can give any insight into their decision making thought processes in these examples.

Your test is biased.

In the general info section you ask for the limits we play and include:
[ ] I do not play ring games
Yet the next question asks what level tourneys we play and
[ ] I do not play stupid ass tournaments
is not an option!!!

Fix your test or I'll be forced to invalidate all results.

If Debi says this is worthwhile I'll give it a go.

There have been a lot of gambling addiction ones which were difficult to make any sense out of, but if this is better I'm on my way there.

Anyone else find it kinda long?

Nits itt.

I took the quiz.

I think it would be interesting to have everyone classify themselves, then ask the situational questions to see if they actually play the way they think do.

I'm going to take the test. Let's see how it is.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your input...I hope I'm not a donkey I wanted to create situations where you are not necessarily in with the best cards. While I don't endorse calling pre-flop with crap in early position, I just want to see how you would answer given the situation and the available info. Hope that helps explain a bit my rational when coming up with the situations.

LOL...thanks

Thanks!

I applaud you for your efforts Melinda. You've clearly put some effort in to this and taken the time to at least understand the poker culture which is a lot more than most people who post their surveys here do.

does the word hypothetical mean anything to you?

anyway, that was probably the best one of these survey things that we get people plugging here every now and then that i've done, so good luck with it OP.

Well finished it...some pages take forever to load

i wonder perhaps given the context of the survey whether the slow page load is actually deliberate.

Completed it; didn't notice the slow page loading. My short attention span prevented me from reading the passage closely - maybe that was the point.

Done. Will you share your findings with this forum Melinda?

Done, A8s utg+2?

Nice survey! U of O is just up the road, I'm a grad student at Queen's. We're just a bunch of degenerate gamblers, so we're looking forward to your results.

Too looooooooong.....

results please

Thanks so much...Absolutely!

Sweet, I love Kingston! hahah I'm a degenerate myself lol so I'm looking forward to the results as well apart from it being part of my dissertation

Will share them as soon as they are analyzed, written up and ready to go!

Very nice study, genuinely interested in outcomes.

I am not posting here just to be negative but here is my take on this.If I understand the purpose of the study it is a correlation between a person's personality and outlook on life in general and their decision making process while playing poker. Yes I understand what hypothetical means but if you use a hypothetical situation that is so fictional that it cannot possibly happen then your results will be misleading. I play every day and there are so many more realistic scenarios that I have to deal with every day I play that it would have been just as easy to come up with more realistic scenarios. For example I have suited slick and got called by 2 players pre-flop and I have a flush draw and 2 overcards and it is checked to me. What do I do?Well I semi-bluff at pot with a raise of at least pot size. I was only inferring that I cannot put myself in these situations so i don't know how to answer. I"m sure the student's work will be judged on other merits as well.Good luck with the project.
