Testing, R U a real pokerplayer

I recently attended a poker school and a well know pro had me take this test. He said that he's never seen a good poker player that could not pass this on the first try. I really hesitate to share because I'm scared all the fish will leave.

A serious poker test on a site called humorsphere?
I may check it out later...

"Test" has nothing to do with poker. It's the old Pick the color of this word test.

Blue

100% btw. Do I get a cookie?

What well known "pro" was it? Must have been Jamie Gold...he doesn't look at the rankings of cards, just the pretty colors.

Sorry to tell you, but that guy is far from a pro.
He's an absolute ammy/rook/novice, who had an incredible streak of luck.
Right time right place.

Other than WSOP 2009, he hasnt had much other success in the professional poker industry.

Took me 3 tries but I finally got 100%. Good job me...LMAO!!!!

#8 23rd November 2010, 10:32 PM

I don't think Darwin Moon even knows what the internet is

That test was vicious and nasty! I tried three times and the best I could do was 68%, it was just too fast for me to do it. I guess I am not a real poker player, and here all along I thought I was at least mediocre.

#10 24th November 2010, 6:34 AM

Lol, first time I got 0% because I read the instructions wrong.

Second time I got 100% so its all good

#11 24th November 2010, 6:59 AM

I got 88% 1st time i ROCK!!!! 2nd i got 100% i am the master!!!

BOW TO MEE!!!

#12 24th November 2010, 7:07 AM

IDK. 100% BUT
This test and its relevance to poker = A boiled egg and its relevance to Aerospace technology.

This test's a joke. And who the F is Darwin Moon?

This is one of the tests/practice games from the Nintendo DS Brain Training game. Instead of selecting the word, you have to speak it though which I think is actually even more difficult.

I scored 100% BTW. Maybe a useful tool to keep sharp for multitabling? For those that scored 100%, try opening 4 instances of the game and trying it then.

You got drawn into my poker humor meta game. There is no "Darwin" Moon. His name is Darvin.

Thought that looked goofy, but the whole rest of the post is pointless too...

Well I was told this was a friendly chat site. From and old streetwise "fellow" Chgoan , I am recommending you to the drill Sgt. Therapist. "My Mommie spoiled me"

Regardless of how you feel, he really isn't interested in being a superstar. He appears to be a very level-headed guy, who just happen to be at the right place, at the right time. He made good moves and bad moves. That's life. That's poker.

I don't think he has ever claimed he was a pro.

In some ways, it would be nice to have more people with an ego like his, as far too many players (both good and bad), think they are the second coming.

He is a very nice and common man. I have a lot of respect for him. There are just a handful of really good poker players anyway. It's a great "Game". I always pretty much sucked at golf, but just one beautiful click kept bringing you back. Same with poker over the last month for me. Horrible beats, BUT today I took down a micro HORSE tourney with 67 players.

easy way to do it, with left hand cover half or the word, see the color and make the correct call.

#23 26th November 2010, 7:48 PM

Or get the first one right and alternate every one afterwards....

I do like stuff like that...they are fun.

If you are REALLY trying to test your mind, you should look at the Japanese colour rooms. http://FASCO-CS > WHITE CHAMBER

Start with the original Crimson Room.

All you have to do is get out of the room......it'll take a couple minutes minimum. GL

#25 26th November 2010, 9:31 PM

i failed like 12 times in a row, made it 0 times, but i can show you my graph. it's way more convincing

#26 26th November 2010, 10:15 PM

100% first time. I'm destined for greatness at the tables.
