Definitely we can tell that there are games to which we played always as it will gain us more wins than losing. I have been to gambling in different games but I am now sticking to a certain game to which I love to play and at the same time I always win.

Poker is the game that I usually play. I do not know that every time I am guessing the next cards or my luck will always let met the right decision. I do sometimes call huge amount but these could be rarely will going to happen only when I have good cards held regardless of the cards drawn. My strategy is very simple to call when bet is low and then pass all the times when cards are not good.

BTW, what about yours do you have any strategic play in poker?

Something similar though you might try "losing" on purpose every now and then to remain a bit less predictable.

My advise is to avoid it all in its entirety since there will always be someone playing against you who knows the odds and has more experience
Unlike a dice game or a sports game where it is up to you to decide since you are not playing against another gambler
The same goes for blackjack since you cant really decide if the person before you in the shoe is going to play by the book or risk it all- like hitting on a 18

I think my strategy also depends on how my opponents move, it changes from time to time. When another player is too aggressive and I know I have a good hand, I usually just call. Or I just check when no one is raising.

So you call when bet is low and pass whenever you have bad cards? Lol, that is how you should not play poker! If you play on the same table with the same people using the same strategy, after few hands everyone will understand your strategy and will easy guess what cards you have. So whenever you get a good card and start raising the pot, you will see everyone understood that you have a good hand, and thus they will start folding. To be good in poker, you need to be good in bluffing and being very unpredictable. If you keep on following a strategy, eventually everyone will know your strategy and use it against  you. Just learn how to bluff (and call bluffs!) and you will be doing good.

I believe that most poker or any other card game players would definitely having that common thoughts in mind.When you do have a good card,eventually all in or adding up stakes will most likely happen.Strategy would vary on each poker player yet we do have our own ways on handling our cards and decision making depending its either you would call or make some bluffs.I just depends.

The strength of your opponent matters alot when we talk about the game porker. Mean while, if you go against a newbie, you should be ready to win the game but whenever you play with a professional, then there will a more difficult task for you as a newbie to win becasue the game is base on leaning to professionalism. Learn porker before play the game.

No I don't follow any other strategy to get success in poker but in sometimes I follow some strategy in my mind to handle me tension and pressure in normal level if it got increased I will definitely get out from that because it is not good for me in the future.

you just need a bit of luck and a huge POKER FACE !
I guess the poker face is the best Strategie be the king even if you have a bad hand !


regards

there is no gain than is totally expected to end as draw(without a winner) so, pokers are simple but there must still be a loser, there is actually what we call game sense and gambling sense., it involves the skill to reduce the risk of losing.you can still be lucky to have good cards at hand that will favour early victory and make winning easier.

I agree, it is not the same every time because when you play sometimes the strategy you are using may not work so you have to change it a little bit, also I think it is a common mindset for card players that if they have good card in hand they will really call or increase the bet and if they have bad cards they will fold, this considering that you are fast enough to make decisions.

I don't have a strategy, if I know I have a very weak card on my hands but I think my opponents aren't too courageous enough to call, I'm trying them out. If I lose, so be it but if they fold then I bluffed them. You need to be a good catcher of others hand emotion because there will be opponents that are thinking the same. Sometimes I play YOLO, if I have an ace to my card, I don't really care about other cards. Since it is YOLO and it's up to my fate if I win, then I can continue, if I lose that's the indication that I should stop.

I also done the same thing about bluffing to make my opponents fear then i'd surely win. Sometimes i'd fold and let them win and later on if my opponent think that I am afraid to lose my money and I got a strong card in my hand then i'd surely make my opponent loses this time.

Yeah, this would apply if one does have a huge tokens or resources for betting and can somehow control the table using it. HOwever, if bad luck will do even if how much money you have in your pocket still it could be lose especially if one is being careless in calling bets.

Well for me, Poker game is not about full of strategies, it is also acquired skills and mind reading of the opponents of what cards they had that you can defeat them. Indeed, a poker game is just like a battle of the mind that need a power of skills and guessing in the opponent's minds. And also the right holding of cards on your table.

I play poker sometimes and I use the oldest strategy,the one which is used by a lot of players.This strategy is easy,when you have bad cards you always fold and when you have really good cards play silently and go all in the last call.

When you have normal cards study the play and make a decision based on the cards you see,folding or playing all in.

Haha, this is great so far and a good strategy. I do think sometimes for some way to win but its not working always so i just play base on my luck and yeah this advice might work too so I will follow this one. Maybe having a Poker face at poker will give you an advantage.

I think my strategy is not that new.

When I see my cards I look at my opponent's reactions to their cards, some wear their poker faces but not all of them since I think they can't hide their reaction to the good cards they are holding if that happened and I don't have a good card, I fold. I also make some taunts to distract some of my opponents but that does not work on online poker.

nice strategy but yeah its not new because ive always hear of that gesture strategy and i see that it does not work good at all times since your foe can fake thier gesture same as you , so what happens is that you will still be playing based on how lucky you are and not because how good you are at reading people's mind via thieir facial expressions   . and yes this strategy dont work on online poker because you cant see you foe online however there are some live poker where you can see others in real time  .

The best ever strategy in poker to increase your chance of winning is make your opponents to think that you got the better card so they will eventually close their cards but not going to work always.

Well yeah it could be but I am thinking the different way to which one should not provoke other players that you have good cards by calling higher bets because it will just make a huge downturn if one will not be so lucky. Besides, I have a different idea and that is to bet just enough money when card holdings is good so as little by little the jackpot will going strong and will let you win big on it after they will call the bet and then make higher bet at the later part of the game.

Bluffing at the right time.
It's not easy as it said, indeed but it's essential things especially when you gamble with massive capital.
Learning from expert and doing it frequently may increase your succesion in the future

We may get good cards but pponents might get the better cards than us so there is no guarantee that bluffing works but most of the time it will distraxct opponent so we might be able to get a chance to win it.

It may be hard to bluff at first but with experience, it is getting easier to pull off especially if you are playing with professional gamblers before. Bluffing works even though if you gamble with small capital as long as you know how to do it. Practice always makes it perfect. :)

Practice from each game you played and afterwards you'll be able be more familiarized using this skills, a lot of professional poker players use this strategy and they are successful even they are playing against same caliber of their skills, timing and luck will permits things to happen especially when a gambler knows how to use it in the right situations.

1 thing that can make poker not like another gambling game is we can use our skill. After we expert in that, it will be very useful for us because can help us how to play better than anyone else, and not only rely on luck.

this is actualy a good tip, and i have one more playing worse hands than u usualy do to seem weaker then you are, and play the weak hands the same as you play the strong hands so they have a hard time reading when you are bluffing or not.

if I got the last in the beginning I definitely do not try it again on that day this is my static under trick it will be useful for me in most of the time to get the profit on the next time

Sticking with games you are good at can indeed be helpful.
Poker would be one of the few games I will be regular at when I start my experimentation with gambling.
Sticking with the skill based ones can be worthwhile in the long run.

Why nobody mentioned wearing black glasses as a part of strategy to hide emotions? :D

Professional players also like to wear hats to hide if they are frowning or sweating. This will only work if OP is playing real poker in a casino.

You have more available strategies when you see other players in person but you can also let other people at the table get to know you and your style. Some players are more aggressive and some are more passive. Some like to intimidate the other players by raising a lot. It's good to sit and watch for a while to know what to expect from your opponents.

It all matters with experience because strategies cant really be built up perfectly if you dont able to know or to face up different players in the table.You can
formulate on your own on how to deal on such kind of situations in the middle of the game.Showing no emotion that can trigger out or let other players able to read you.

Well, I don't really play poker. So I did some research on what strategies work to turn your game from "mediocre to amazing".

1. Think about ranges, not hands.
"Think about your opponent's range instead. Nobody has a specific hand in poker — they only have a range. They will show up with different hands to varying degrees."

2. Ditch your favorite hand.
"If you currently have a favorite hand, that's fine — most people do. But don't give it preferential treatment and make bad plays with it. Winning poker is about math and cold hard logic, not superstition."

3. Adopt a consistent strategy.
"All of your learning, experience and study over the years has given you a body of knowledge telling you how to play this game profitably. But it only actually matters if you apply it at the poker tables all the time. Every hand counts and every session counts."

4. Always have a reason.
"If you can produce a well reasoned argument why deviating from your regular strategy might actually be more profitable, then it is okay. It is the "because I feel like it" or "I am bored" reasoning that has to go."

5. Know when to fold your aces.
"Good players are able to let go of any emotional attachment to their pretty-looking hands. Average players get married to their aces or kings instead, and can't let them go even when they know they are beat."

6. Realize Tilt Only Hurts You.
"Respect the work that you have done. You owe it to yourself to maintain more composure and stop throwing away money when the cards go south."

7. Don't play in bad games.
"You win big by playing against players who are making big fundamental errors and giving away their money over the long term."

So there you go. I know you already have your own strategy, guys. So I don't really know if this is much of a great help but I hope it does help you somehow. ;D If you want to read  more, here's the source, btw: https://www.pokernews.com/strategy/7-tips-take-your-poker-game-from-meh-amazing-27103.htm

By passing all the times when cards are not good may take you close to win but this is not a perfect strategy. Sometimes the opponent have even bad cards and taking a little risk can be healthy sometimes. Anyways your strategy is defensive and is worth a try.

 I think the only strategy for you is to have good knowledge and experience. This is the only thing that can help you win at poker which is a very tough game to win at but if you have gotten that mathematical mind and have the ability to preclude and predict the strategy of your opponent, you would be likely to win at poker. But you cannot deny the importance of practice again and again.

There are strategies you can use for playing poker online, but one thing I do know is that playing poker online can be very annoying sometimes, yep, there are times it an get annoying and you might just get angry and lose it. There are times that it can take very long session like more than six hours and if you're someone that has job to do the next day you will just be messed up and wouldn't be able to catch some sleep because you were up all night trying to win poker which you might even end up losing if you make any silly mistake. So anyone who is playing it and is sure that they are ready to win should as well be ready for the long sessions and be prepared for some of the craziest swings.

Of all that said above this is indeed not chaotic or useless when playing poker. Because people do have their own strategies as you say. Playing poker is not just talking, of course, a good card. Supposedly with any card we can win that is called strategy.

 How does that work as a strategy? there are many strategies around the games or game but applying them in the appropriate way is the best solution for the gamers. Porker is for gamblers who are ready to train and be trained to gamble becasue, is not a game of luck like dice and other online casinos. A friend of my taught me how to play porker and am happy playing it for gains.

List of the best betting strategies can be found here: http://sportstatist.com/betting-strategies/

Among of all sites i have read up with my google search i do fully agree on what things being said here: https://upswingpoker.com/quick-poker-tips-texas-holdem/

I can't really say it is a strategy but, whenever I have the lowest hand, or the number two on my hand I immediately fold. I don't like number two. Is that what you called a strategy? Anyways I rarely lost in poker with this kind of attitude I have. Even it is a pair of two.

Hahahaha ;D. Those wearing black glasses are those people who can't control their emotions or just apprentice of "how to control emotions"?  ;D  ;D

Wearing or not wearing black glasses should still have control of their emotions, that's will teach you how to become a better player of poker.
I also saw a lot of people not wearing black glasses but hell yeah, they are really amazing to play poker and you can't predict their move base on how you see their emotion on their face.

Just like you, usually I will drop a bad card and leave a few good cards at the end so give me big chance to win. That's a common strategy that I use when playing poker with my friends, of course many of you still have many other strategies? because there are still many strategies that can be explored in poker

I don't know about the poker game, but if my friends force me to play, I ask him to teach me an easy way to play, and I don't ask about any strategy because that will makes me confuse to learn. I think it's better to play with a random strategy because the opposite will be difficult to predict what the step that we use and that will be like a trap for them. I know this because some of my friends are telling me about that, but I don't know if that is true or not.

poker is a game that deals with cards . the game mostly based on skills because you need to read your opponents minds via thier facial expressions but it also need  some luck .

just like any other gambling games , poker is also learnable but it takes some time to master it as its a skill based not unlike to random games like dice which doesnt need a learning curve . you right . as a newbie you must first know the basics and strategies/method should be learn after you succesfully know on how to play the game   .

I am not aware of any of such strategies but I agree with you that online poker games can sometimes be truly frustrating and it requires so much patience to keep on playing. I never get discouraged regardless the encounters or difficulties I encounter while gambling because I always set a goal and get focused at the prize ahead than the initial quick gain.

Nothing is easy and there’s always no short cut to success. This is my  believe always. If anyone has interest in becoming a poker player, then it’s advisable to learn all the tactics to becoming a professional rather than looking for strategies that never works.

^ Completely you are right, don't seek only one strategy that you may apply rather than use your different tactics to won in every game you played. Actually, the fact is there are no good strategies that you may use repeatedly. But one thing that I can sure to help you in giving probability in a high chance of winning, just focus and reading the mind of opponents you aren't online gamblers and last thing is perfect timing of picking cards.

Play with a HUD such as Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker,

If you ever really want to get into the big leagues, you'll need a HUD to keep track of yours and other players' performances.

Beyond this, invest in a book on poker mathmatics, learn about correct bet sizing and how to take advantage of different table positions, and in particular how to adjust your game when you're under the gun or on the button.

Playing poker is about luck, getting a good card but a card that is held will be useless if you are afraid to heat up the game by raising or all in. Sometimes people who have good cards will lose to people who dare to risk their money by not retreating until the opponents fold or stand up.

It seems to me that a player who plays Poker must have a good memory and a phenomenal calculation ability.  It was with such people that I had to play and believe me, I had no chance to win.

Tonight I will be going to a local card room near my friends house this evening after a few rounds at the bar.
My poker stash consists of black glasses my ear phones and of course my disgusting spelling cologne  ;D
It really hits the spot for my fellow poker players at the table and you should see the reaction when a lady sits at the table

 

This reminded me of when a friend of mine wanted to teach me all about the porker, he actually ave me some of these tips to me to become successful in the world of porker but i never take it into consideration, now i have just review these tips for my porker life henceforth.

This is not just about bluffing, in poker games good cards are the most important thing because the snapping strategy has become the main thing and all poker players are aware of that. Whatever strategy is used in this game I think it depends on the card and confidence, if this has been owned properly then of course playing poker will be fun but not always a luck will take sides.

It would really be a combination of strategies would be used yet it would depend on situation you are facing on because

not all the time you would need up to bluff because cards on hands wont be similar on each round and with good experience handling
those would be the main priority.

Playing Poker in real life and Online Poker is so much different and I can't really tell that it's all about luck because when playing with physical people the intensity is there and you can feel and read their minds based on their body language that can help you to decide what strategy would you do but when playing online poker you can't even guarantee if you're playing with a bot or what.

For sure there is a strategy in playing poker because that is need technique on how to defeat your opponent. Mind guessing from the cards of the opponent maybe can help you to win the game but that is not an accurate strategy just to win you can also use different techniques. But gamblers in poker usually also depend on how lucky they are maybe strategies help 50% the rest is base on how lucky they are. Study and practice make your self expert on card dealing in poker and to have a high chance of winning when you playing poker.

The strategy of playing poker depends on the opponent at the table because each opponent has a different character, generally playing poker is identical to the mentality and must be brave enough to bully Although in a bad card position and must be able to manipulate the face so the opponent is fooled.
the most important thing is to have lots of capital, be brave and play calm and stop when you feel victorious.

Playing poker and getting win is based upon luck too. Many people think that dice games are luck based while poker games are strategic based, but that is not the real case. Poker games are also dependent upon luck because there is no way to control which card we get in poker game.
If We're lucky enough to get good cards, only then we can win in poker.

I am usually passive when playing poker. I will just other players take the lead and just keep calling everytime. Sometimes I bluff and raise on a weak card or be aggressive when given a strong hand. 

Unlike dice where you can't do any bluffing strategy as it will bring the results after the roll, inside poker you can do something that can possibly change the pace of the game, since it's a game where knowledge is more use than hoping for luck to come, experienced will help you to analyze when to use some bluff and take the risk.

But this can only apply in real life playing and not in online casinos since our opponents is computer that I think cannot be bluffed and has a program designed for every types of player this may encountered..though in real life bluffing is one kind of strategy that can break the opponents mindset and may take the game in your favor

No there are casino platform that can have a poker game that one can play with other online poker player. Thus, letting them join in a table and enjoy playing poker with. I have been into this kind of platform and of course it is one of the best gambling plays that I learn.

Anyway, I am already seeing different responses and it made me having a great time reading reponses. Thank You!

Oooohh I love playing this game. You are not just leaning with luck but you are also using your skills out there.
Plus, it will also burn a lot of time rather than playing games that just takes seconds to see who will win.

Now strategies.

I do this too. Thanks for TheCoinGrabber for reminding that.

Another is bluffing with a good card and also a bad card. Win or lose show then your cards. That way they cannot read what you will do next if you are bluffing or not.
Call a little bit and then easily fold.
Use all the kind of ending. That way when you will be the one on that seat which is being cornered buy high stakes they will not find out who you are. Keep that terrifying look fold or not.

I believe in playing poker bluffing can only use if you are playing with another players and can have  eye to eye contact so you can distract the opponent and their motivation will be ruined
So I guess this is harder to  predict

I see in the movie, bluffing could help players to trick the opponent, especially if that person doesn't have a good card. Some people will worry about seeing the bluff and will think twice to decide while the other will give up in the middle. I think maybe the psychologist will take part in the poker game card, and without having a strong control emotion, we cannot do that.

I'm playing poker like every average poker player.Waiting for the strong hands to come. ;D
Most of the time,it takes too much time to wait,I get bored and risk everything on some bluff and lose all my chips. ;D
The best poker strategy is to be unpredictable and never create patterns in your game behaviour.

Yes, hear the opponent is computer and it is impossible to bluff him, it is completely based on programming which it is impossible to bluff anything. That's why many people will suggest online gambling are way riskier compared to gambling. Only Website owners will make plenty of money compared to the gamblers.

What if that bad card becomes a quadra or royal?
I think the good way to play poker is to see first the first three cards before folding your card. Though there are some aggressive poker players, we can fight them if we have some feeling of winning. I usually fold when there is a bad moment. However, if I notice that my position is always having a streak win. I always be aggressive in bluffing others call. If they scared then they will probably fold. But not most of the time, I am luck. There are also time that I am suffering from bad luck.

Playing poker online just feels different than playing on a real casino. There are just strategies you cannot employ when you play with online players. One big factor would be, you cannot study any tell of a person. I normally study tells of a person to know if they hold bad or good hand, if they bluff or not. Sometimes you can get out of sticky situations or bluffs if you can see any signs from the gestures of your opponents.

Poker games are luck based games in gambling platform.
I don't believe you can over read the the script and involve your strategies to to make money on pokers. You believe your so much lucky we can always welcome to invest on poker games.

Sometimes when playing that strategy changes in our minds, maybe there will be a lot of strategies when the card we get is good enough but if the card is bad, maybe there won't be a strategy that crossed my mind.


It's true, not only do we have a strategy but our opponents also have a strategy. therefore when in the game we must adjust to the opponent's existing strategy.

I guess once we go into whatever kinds of gambling, we all have our own strategies which is basically learned from all our experiences. But if we think we have more advantages from our opponents, our opponents too are also thinking it against us. So we should be more careful in whatever strategies we take because others might also secretly doing their own too.

Yes, because both of you have strategies on one table you should know how to guess your opponent move and if could it possible you know to read opponent's mind and take advantage on it by selecting of which is a good card. You can also use different techniques like knowing their face emotions if you are in real casinos. But usually, they depend on luck and I think those strategies will not works.

Definitely very useful in casino but not accurate. Some gamblers are excellent in hiding and faking their emotion so their opponent could think that they have a high card. On the other hand in online poker, things work differently. In this platform you wouldn't be able to guess what your opponent is think since you don't see him/her personally. In this case it's a matter of luck and faith in your cards.

I play poker sometimes especially when my playmates invite me, but usually I play the same, bet a huge amount if my guts telling me that it's my moment, when I'm in luck card, and I guess if my cards are much higher then their, but most of the time I just want to enjoy. But if you want some different strategic way to play poker, try the fair. poker the algorithm, and who to play is much different compared to the traditional or classic ones. By the way, enjoying and keep winning :)

In actual poker?i real well I think I have strategy since bluffing is usually the tactics to break opponents and reading their eyes and face reactions while playing is most important for me,but in online?no I don’t have instead I just bet and let if go till declared who’s the winner

It is very good to play poker offline but at the same time, we need to have enough luck to get the right for winning the game, Of course, eye to eye contact will always help us whether he has the ability or not but surely we need to have luck for winning the game.

Bluffing happens in both real and online poker as far as I know. I have no experienced in real poker game but I have many years experienced playing online poker since I was in college. Obviously, bluffing is effective to be done in real poker as we can see our opponents to predict how good the cards on their hands by looking at their eyes and body movement. Bluffing in online poker is like a big speculation move based on our own feeling and based on all the 5 cards we see on the table. It is not recommended to bluff in online poker imho especially if we have not enough balance to cover it.

A bluff is usually more effective if you're the one with the most chips or the bully. That doesn't require you to see your opponent's reaction. And long time poker players would give out wrong signals to make you think they're concerned anxious, even if they have a good hand. For me, it's a game of timing. And much of the techniques you use for poker can be very well applied when you make trades. Be patient and be composed in every situation.

I am glad you said movies, so let’s just assume it’s not real but in the real world there are actually tricks we can use to win opponents. To win in poker, we have to be opened to learning. It’s always good to enroll in training courses. This has a great way of advancing the players acumen, and This is what I do always. I learnt overtime the importance of understanding who my customers are  and one very good way I have been able to get this done is by designing an empathy map.

Their thoughts are always important and that is how I have been able to apply same strategy to poker. In poker games, especially when it is home game that has very minor players, so it makes it easy to get their data base. It’s good to know the weakness and strength of these players, thereby using it to make money from them.

Yes you are very right and manipulating minds is much easier, this is the reason some people even take alcohol before going to gamble because according to them it makes them more sociable to be able to interact and as well study the players. I have discovered that it’s better to stay away from alcohol to be able read the mind of the opponent.

One thing is sure in poker, money will always go in a direction because one person will get unlucky for another to be lucky, that’s the reason it is a game of luck,so the best is to stay focused while looking for the bad side of the opponent and how to use it in your own advantage to be considered the lucky player. Poker is fun and truly interesting.

Gambling is considered by many as a game of skill mostly together with a bit of luck and I think that they are right.

In gambling the key factor to determine if you will be a winner in the long run is the patience,people with patience will wait for the good cards to play all in and by doing so they will win more than they will lose.Another thing is to consider losing as normal because losing is part of the game and you should not be impacted too much by it.

Don't try to bluff your way through. Bluffing can be useful for some exceptional cases but not always.
Don't feel ashamed to fold. Folding is not losing, folding is rather not losing. You'll have your hand some moment. And play your hand. Don't go all in and don't get afraid to take some risks.

We don’t always have to adjust to the opponent’s strategy that is cowardice if you ask me mate. I believe the opponent with all his strategies also have a weak point to, and this is where the focus should be and that way our strategy overrules everything played. This is just an assumption though, not completely factual.

I believe solely that poker is just a game of chance and frankly speaking, no kind of strategy can ever make any player win except that it is luck. But it’s always better to try though than not to try at all. I have been playing poker for many years now and I cannot boast that I have won a lot but am glad for the opportunities I have gained during the process.

I can't say that I always win in poker, but I enjoy playing this game more than playing others. What I know is that if you never bluff, you can't win in the long run. On the other hand, I don't like to bluff. I prefer playing with good pocket cards in the beginning and with a good hand in the end.

Once I heard an advice from Daniel Negreanu on YouTube: if you have a straight draw or a flush draw, call anything to see what happens, and if turns out not in your favor, bluff the hell out of it. Sometimes I use this strategy, and it works, but not always, of course.

I don't have it, it often loses from winning, because it's only a card factor that I rely on. When the cards are good, they will win. Because I don't play poker to gamble. ;D ;D ;D

You have a point.
I thought about this too but I think it's partly luck and partly skill.

People can train themselves to be good poker players which makes it skill-based. Not sure if it's possible to train oneself to be a good dice player which makes it luck-based

Dice game is different from poker because dice game is 100% luck based game unlike poker that you need the skill to be able to win a game.

Without poker skill, you can lose a big amount unless if you are just gambling for fun that you can afford to lose. Any gambling games always need luck so if you are not lucky even you are a skilled poker player you can be still lost in the game. There are no gambling games that can make you a 100% win rate everything in gambling is a luck based game.
