EDIT: Centered the picture and title
So upswing poker has posted this quiz - Phil Hellmuth identifies players at the table as an animal, obviously based upon your play style as he sees it. Actually a nice way of thinking, put the player into a category and you know what your moves are vs that animal type. I like it. Anyway...


Phil thinks I'm an Eagle!

Which animal are you? Post your answers here!

I'm a brown bear.
I stand up to my arse in freezing cold water and slap the fish as they swim by.
See this video for a demonstration

I got Lion.

In other words, I'm most likely a nit with a 2008-style strategy that could fit on a few sheets of paper. :f_ugly:

But I'm not a Hold'em player anyway. :f_grin:

Apparently I'm an eagle:

Congrats, you’re an eagle -- an advanced player. You have clearly put in the time away from the table to improve. Your strategy is tough, aggressive, and theoretically sound.

If I'm going to be a bird, I would prefer vulture — I sit on high branches and pounce on dead money.

There is a saying something like "Move up to where they respect your raises".
I've found that they tend you respect your raises when they see that you fold.
TAG ftw
I wanna do the quiz again and see what they say about maniacs

Yes, I'm actually kind of curious about the less flattering ones now - assuming there are any, and they are not all presented in a positive light in some way.

I'm also itching to run the quiz again - is there a cookie or will it just refresh?

EDIT: put the comment in spoiler tags, otherwise it defeats the above poster using them!

OH so Lion is not the nit, that's a mouse! So he's maybe got TAG for Lion

, separate from a nit profile... interesting. And I like the comment on that second one too, confirming my thoughts that Eagle is the best outcome, given that the comment suggests that such a player should aspire to become an eagle...

I tried to deliberately mess the quiz up, but I got jackal.

After trying again and answering like a calling station, I got a new one:

I tried a few more times, clicking random buttons, but always got Lion again. So I guess there is no "donk" result or something along these lines.

Maybe those are the only possible results:

Lion (TAG)
Jackal (LAG)
Mouse (Nit)
Elephant (Calling Station)
Eagle (Good adaptive player)
