Boring day at work... Mine is an exceedingly average 105. I blame it on the cash game questions which is why I never play cash.

This test takes ages, will have a bash later. FWIW the guy who made this up is Lyric Duveyoung, he made an FT at the WSOP this year that's up on pokertube
'I figured if I ever went broke at poker, it wouldn't be because my best wasn't good enough to keep me afloat. It'd be because my worst was bad enough to sink me.'
Tom, if I get the same score as you then I take it all back about being average. I am truly honoured. And yes, Dan it was hard. Would have loved to have seen a list of "answers" with explainations because of course now I don't know what I got "wrong".
Bit like when I had to take my driving test in Bermuda. I got only 3 answers wrong which meant I passed but they don't tell you which ones you got wrong. I pointed out that this could be a bit dangerous if it had been my inability to recognise a Stop sign....
107 for me - though I realised during it that I had done this before about 18 months ago and found the old link, I scored 104 back then so at least I haven't gotten worse!!!

I think all of these 'tests' are inherently floored and results pretty much meaningless, but took it anyway. God damn it's a longun!

Walking away is easy. The hard part is standing up.
What did you guys do for this one?
I thought it was a stupid question.
5/10 NL cash game. 9 handed. Everyone has about $1,000.
You raise to $40 UTG with: JJ
It is folded to the expert player in the SB, who calls. BB folds and you take a flop heads up.
Flop is: T22
SB leads for $80. You raise to $250, and the SB re-raises to $650. Your image is tight-aggressive, very tight in early position, and you rarely bluff. What should you do?
Walking away is easy. The hard part is standing up.
Also, this one I thought was also dumb....
5/10 NL 9 handed cash game. UTG has $1,300. SB has $1,000. The cutoff seat has $70. You have $1,500.
UTG is a mediocre pro. He plays about 17% of his hands and raises about 4% of them. He is fairly aggressive post-flop. He knows you are a good player.
The small blind is new to the game, plays way too many hands, calls re-raises with very marginal hands, and plays very poorly.
UTG raises to $40. The cutoff calls $40. You re-raise to $120. The SB calls $120. UTG calls, and the cutoff calls all-in for $70 total.
Flop: 67
4
SB checks. UTG checks. You check.
Turn: A
UTG bets $160 into the $480 pot. You call. SB folds.
River: K
UTG bets $350 into the $800 pot. What does he have?
67 suited
AA
KK
77/66/44
AK
Ax clubs
89 suited
...Actually i just noticed AK is in the list. I thought it wasn't and had to go for AA in the end, my bad!! Hmm, maybe I should retake the test and actually look at the answers this time!!

Dan - surely you got >100 !?!
