I love playing poker and I mught say that I consider myself a good player. I usualy have my own strategy which is mainly to play very agressive.

So, what are your main strategy when playing Poker?

In my opinion, psychology is the key to win in poker. I usually try to see my enemies' eye/body reactions and etc. I also love to bluff, just gotta know when to as it's risky asf.

So you have the opposite strategy with mine, I always play calm whatever I have in my hands. Even I always prefer to wait for other players to raise or all in although I know that my cards will win.

what you all are telling are favourable according to the situation, some time with some players aggressive will win you, because psychologycaly he will fear and play wrong, but some time this will turn when opposite players plays calmly and on correct card he will punish you, so their is no single strategy for the poker game, and one more main thing dont play on same table for long time, if you are winning on long time then it is better to leave that table i mean change the table becasue after some time the turn changes and you will start loosing on good hands also.

Poker is the Game of Mind , If you are a liar you can easily understand the Minds and often people lie for it.
Good to see the eyes of people as much of the information is there in their eyes.I often do not play poker but my Friends says the more you can read minds the more probability is to play efficient.

I would say I also play a bit aggressively. But as most people above me are saying - it's a game of mind. You have to look at other people and their style of playing. There's a lot of experience needed to know it well too. That's one of the reasons I prefer playing live instead online.

I'm a tight aggressive player. Where do you play guys?

My simple tips :

If you are playing online; learn how to bluff wisely. :)

If you are playing in a physical poker room; learn how to bluff your face. :)

Hope you got it.

My trick is, look at the card the last out of the opponent. If you are a big opportunity Raise your bet and victorious  8)

I play in a few casinos I like. They have 2 nights when it's free-to-enter and free-to-play until you bust the first time. Then you can rebuy into the game with cash. It's organized like a tournament. You have to win 5 or 6 tables (depending on how many people are playing) to win a cash prize.

Hard to say. It depends on your opponents. I usually play for fun with small amount, and my play mostly slow, but sometimes aggressive.

That looks great! So, can you tell us in what Poker Rooms are you playing? I use nitrogensports, SWCPOker and Betcoin... What's your preferred Poker rooms?

I don't play online rooms that much, but I liked PokerStars if that's of any use to you.
If you didn't understand my post - I wanted to say I play against actual people at a real table.

I also used to play at Pokerstars, but now in my country I can't play with real money, so the best option is to play with Bitcoin. The best alternative to Pokerstars its Betcoin.ag

The best strategy is to know when and when not to fold. Know when you should walk away and when to run. And it's important to never count your money while you're sitting at the table. You can do it later when the dealing is done.

Seriously though, it depends on the table dynamics and who else is playing at my table. I try to mix it up. Sometimes I play nitty, sometimes I play loose and aggressive, other times loose and passive - again, it all depends on who is at my table/in the hand with me. And occasionally, I'll play sicko maniac ATC style for the lolz.

Also, I mostly play online and my other strategy when playing is to surf porn. That way if/when I get stacked, I don't get mad or go on tilt because, well, there's three hot lesbians getting it on in another window. It keeps me from spewing - my chips, at least.  :P

i play risky game,im highly agressive and i like to harrass players on table.
but again when there is all-iner then i play passive and wait for my chance to take his stack and when he is out then i start to harrass others on table and taking their chips from them being scared to call. (but again not always)
regards.

Think strategy, all the time, slowly work out what the best play is vs that particular opponent 

actually i never had any strategic when i'm playing a poker but if i have a good card i will play with aggressive

There are many way to play poker. You can be tight, aggressive, loose, etc. You have to adapt your own strategy every time that you sit in a table (Because in some table you can find a tight player, or loose or aggressive).

Earn 10-20 blinds every hour and don't fly ;)

I would like to play against you, Until the end of time, For any amount of money.

Aggressive> Tight
Tight>Average
Average<Anyone
Aggressive<Aggressive.
Tight>Tight

where was that originally quoted from?
There are many strategies you can take, The thing you should focus on is how to study poker.

I think the only strategy I use while playing poker is confidence .Just be confident about your cards and play.Don't hesitate to act on the decisions taken.If you feel something is right ,just do it,without giving it a second thought.

This is like, the perfect recipe to lose... You should always give it a second thought when it comes to poker. If not, you get eaten fairly quick.

The only strategy I use to play poker is just use my feeling and reading other players movement. When I think my cards has great chance to win I will all in from the start ;)

I like more play to poker live, not tournament to pc for see in the eyes the player. Poker is 50 % lucky to card and 50 % ability and psicology. I don't have a single strategy, change with every different player, but generally i'm aggressive

Actually it depends person to person what suits for them.In my experience if i think too much I always seem to get disappointed but when I play just totally random game without using too much  of my brain ,the cards seem to unfold in my favor.

I usually play my own cards, sometimes aggressive, sometimes passive.  It is hard to read people you don't play a lot against at the start, read their face, try and notice anything that you might see as a tell, the more you play against them and the more hands you see them lay down.  The better you will do!

I am not good with Poker, there is no particular strategy and most of the times I loosed my money so now I have maintained distance from this game and only concentrating on sports betting.

my best strategy is to play it safe and always tell the truth sometimes even tell what you actually have this really puzzles my opponents that i play with

I'm very bad poker player because i don't have patience, when people call all in more time, with bad card, first time i fold, second fold, third i call  ;D
For this i play only freeroll (but in freeroll more people bet all in for all time)

i am a winning poker player, tight is right guys :)

That might work at a normal house game a few times, but you do that in a casino and people will eat you up so fast you will be sitting broke outside wondering where your clothes are. 

It is a tough call but people seem to think playing the opponent vs what cards you have in your hand is the best way to go

discussing general strategy is impossible cause each game has its own strategy , but the main thing is aggression
in all games aggression is the best way to play , all successful players have one common thing that they are all aggressive
but the general strategy depends on the games like is it MTT , SNG or cash ...etc

my thinking is which way you are playing, if you are playing online then you have to see the way of players playing and the check the status of yours what is your position, did you won too many then it is better to leave that table and join other table , because software keeps track and changes. if you are playing on live table then some time you have to show aggression and some time you have to check the players and play according to the situations.

My strategy when playing poker, just be patient and when to get a nice card or the like A's and king I will be all in :D

all depends on the opponent. I always read the opponent's game, then I know what I should do :)

My favorite strategy is bluffing, I usually use deception to my advantage when I have poor cards. I instead bet strongly on my weak hand to induce opponents to fold superior hands.
But unfortunately it does not work all the time. But I had some great winnings with this strategy! :)

When I play played poker, we must patient until the time is right. Sometimes I bluff players to gain the advantage.
But at the end , it depend on your own strategy to a winner

Well in my humble opinion mixing strategies is what make someone good or bad player. Your opponents will use everything to win so u need to pe prepared for everything. So main strategy would be "reading" other player`s on the table, and only after that to use specific strategy (aggressive, calm etc..). I play poker often (online and live) and in some moment`s there is just pure luck and u say if it isn`t I played tournament winning prize was 30 euro`s friendly game 8 playe`s everyone get 2k on beggining and it`s all. In finnal after rissing blind on 2k/4k where my opponent was big blind (i was small he was big and chip leader) i rised to 10k my all in cause i saw he has bad cards and he call with 8 and 4 and i was jack and ten hearts. Pot was ace, jack and 7 turn was 6 and river 5...

i dont usually play poker but when i play it i usually use safe play methods, i dont do bluffs mostly as i want my money much safer xD

Well, are you talking about offline or online poker?
I'm not good at either... I simple pray for a good hand in online games and try my best to bluff offline, lol

if you get a good number. you should give all your money.

that is just a bad suggestion. you have to predict the hand of ur opponent too. there is a lot of cases whereby the one who bets all lose to another person with a better cards.

Poker is a mathematical game, and it’s a game of incomplete information. On a very basic level, winning poker starts with the selection of which starting hands to play. If you enter the pot with the best hand more often than your opponents do, you will win more times than your opponents.

Have fun and consider your money gone before you start to gamble.

After you start gambling, have a positive mindset. Try to enjoy yourself as much as possible. If you happen to win, dont be greedy and keep on playing. If you lose, tell yourself that you didnt need that money anyway but dont gamble next time

My strategy is to play Tight - Aggressive. Besides this, I always try to understand what's on the opponent's mind by studying each and every play from every player in the table!

Though bluffing is a common poker strategy, a long time is needed to really be good at it.You should know when to bluff, making it a strategy that should be launched by experienced players.Most inexperienced players think that to really become a winning poker player, they need to bluff.This is not true, because it is possible to be a winning poker player without even bluffing once.

Then there is high chances that you will get busted soon
Poker is a skill based gambling game. 30% luck and 70% skills. Even if we got very bad cards we can win if we have skill to make opponent believe I have better cards than him

It is possible to win without any bluff but you really need a good hand. Although sometimes bluff will only affect once but when you are in a bad luck although bluff will end you in losing all of your things. I seldom saw people using this kind of trick because it is very risky enough to let say all in your chip just in one bet and hope people will fold

If you play in a room with people than look there eyes and there body movement, but with online poker is so difficult to tell.
Just watch pro poker and learn from them :D

I'm seeing you guys all got different strategies on how you guys play poker. I might try some of these out.
What I've been doing so far, online I just bluff as hard as I can but if you're playing poker at a table it's much harder to have a poker face.
It's easy to read someone's face which leads to misleading one another.

When I play poker I always just bet normal so that they think I don't have a good card.
Is just experince is so difficult to win a poker game if you don't do it weekly.

Yes so true like Daniel Negreanu he just read the cards of the other person and he fold.
Daniel had bad cards and the other believe he have better so Daniel won is so awesome to watch the pros play poker.

I watch on youtube Daniel Negreanu so good on poker but in real life not poker online. i think it's different live dealer poker in casino than online poker that not live, because the card itself so different.

I don't play poker much but when I do I just play it casual. I don't play aggressive, I like to play it safe.
It's probably because it's not the best thing I'm good at.

imy strtegy is not to play tight for a while and try not to bluff but when a  good opportunity comes i bluff my way out for the winn

I think playing aggressive is best when you're not playing at a table but online.
I think it's much harder to play poker live in a casino rather than online. Having a pokerface is hard.

there is no strategy that works in all games cause it depends on what are you playing
playing SNG for example is not like playing cash game , each game has its own strategy but in general aggression is the common thing in all the games
if you want to make money playing poker you have to be aggressive , this is the common thing  between all successful poker players

The best strategy/advice I can give is to keep calm and be patient. Also learn math of poker, it will help you greatly I like reading poker strategies and tips and I fond his article:
Poker Tips from Pros: Jonathan Little Makes Basic Poker Math Easy - http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-tips-from-pros-jonathan-little-makes-basic-poker-math-easy (http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-tips-from-pros-jonathan-little-makes-basic-poker-math-easy)

Learning this will improve your Poker decision making a lot!

I really like the article, thanks for sharing!

I have to aggree, the math of poker is really important once you get into more serious games (for me, serious games involde a bit more money)..,

It depends actually on the player whom I'm playing against.I don't believe in fold if the cards are bad.I try to be a con artist in the real poker games and play with strategy.The badder my cards are I show actual more confidence in the game.When you actually have good cards its better to raise slow and let the game become more weighted .

i just try to keep eye on other players, to watch their body and how they act with different hands, then bluffing sometimes help too, i won lots of hands with nice bets just because of bluffing, and agressive play style helps me too, because other players usually be afraid

How if you play online poker? There will be a big difference, because you can watch other player's act. Bluffing needs a big bankroll, because once you bluff with a bad card and your opponent call because of sure win so you will lose your money. Once you got this, your opponents will know that you are  a player who like to bluff.

Nahh you know how to identifying a bluffer online poker isn't it? You can learn playing style of your opponents even it's online poker.
My simple strategy be like, raise on every round and see the first three cards, if there's a good card atleast two cards I'll raise double and if someone raise you back just call it and call till all cards revealed. Lost = double raise in next round.

sometimes i mdoing some strategy in poker but im not always use it every time in game..  if i had a bad luck card or below cards i will all in my bets.. and sometimes my enemy will drop their card. but some times is not.. is just strategy to fear enemy to drop their cards.. but honestly i just timing it if i know or feel that their cards too is very low.. but this strategy never win a profit..

strategy for playing poker is that we should be calm and patience needed in order to obtain good results  :)

i usually try to play very safe, no risk if possible, but when i get awesome hand like AA i of course, play agresive, sometimes if needed  i bluff, and sometimes i have no strategy at all and  i just hope for best, hope that luck will stay with me 1 more hand

Indeed, the best strategy to do on poker is depend on what cards we have. It means we have to change our strategy in every round, it will also make our opponents confuse whether to call/fold.

Playing safe is good, but it's also make you hard getting profit. My strategy is doing some bluffing and Check when i have a good card, let them raise and we re-raise more.

If you keep on doing that, players will soon realize a pattern. And soon they will beat you. I think being unpredictable is the best strategy and avoid giving hints to your opponent. Be aware of your body languages so you can control them and always wear that poker face.

Is there any safe in gambling? If you keep on playing safe especially in poker games you will lose because when people bluff you will too scare to call and you will keep paying the blind and then slowly your balance will be reduced. So what I can say sometimes you need be aggressive to earn big amount though. And the rest just let luck decide you will win or lose

Calculate pot odds and also your equity in the pot and compare the two.

I does play tight something times and loose the others my strategy changes over time.

The best thing that you can do for your money is just play with small amounts. And if you made profit on that moment. Than leave it and have profit.
If you play further than there will be a chance that you also can lose some money and that will be not good.

I learned how to play the game by playing at pokerstrategy.com and reading their article and them playing with their bonuses to gain experience with 0 risk. I made some money and even got up in the blinds. I really think it's a good place to get some quality information on how to play poker.

I think there's no strategy in poker and its always depends in your luck.. but why don't you try play poker without any strategy..
If you feel you are lucky today i think you can make profit in poker.. but if you are feel that you will lose or bad luck its its better to don't play for this day.. just always remember its always depends in our luck to make a profit..

If you're playing in real life with a table, for me poker is game about reading your opponents. Well not like you can but focus and pay attention to the other player's habits, that alone can change the outcome considerably. Poker also is a game of judgement, even you have a good cards in your hand, when a big raise called will scare you to fold and take away the chips, you could have won. Enticing your opponent to stay in is the hardest part of the game.

have you played poker dude? because if you have, then you'll know that this is entirely not true. I don't considr myself as a bigtime poker player but a slightly rxperienced one and i've had so many bad hands that actually won by observing the players around me. for poker, luck rarely plays a big part. its hiw you read your cards and your opponents reaction

Right poker game does not just depend on our luck. this is completely mind game. You have the capacity to read your opponent next move then you will succeed in this game. Or else it is very tough to win a poker game. We can not play this game without having the proper experience. Suppose if we play without experience I am sure we will lose money.

In my viewpoint, It's not like dice game or spin game that all you need is to be lucky on that day. Poker game is absolutely a mind game. You do have the ability to read your opponent card or to look by there expression where you can see if it's a green light or red light. Keep calm, head straight, and think properly so that you have a win win situation.

I disagree with your current statement "We can not play this game without having the proper experience". Anyone can play this game just  by knowing how to play this game maybe if you have the experience it only increases your chance of winning but still there is no guarantee of it.

Playing aggressive is definately the way to go and push and bully new players around.

You can choose to play loose aggressive or tight aggressive, where the first is more subject to swings and the second can cause people to exploit you if you are too tight.

Sure, if you're playing against new players only and know they don't have much money. An experienced player will see through you after a while and will start checking.
Without good cards you can only bully for so long.

Yes, you should be emotionless. But I watched Daniel Negreanu make some amazing reads on his opponents even though they are stone cold. I guess it comes with experience on how to read your opponent and make decision if it is a go or fold.

I believe poker is a mind game coupled with luck.  The reason why I said it is that, when our strategy does not work it always end up on the cards.  If it does end up on the cards, you need to have the last draw to fit what you needed and it is all random, so definitely, you need luck to work on it to make the game favorable to you.

Probably you guys already had this question a lot of times, but what are the better crypto poker websites? I know a year a ago i took a look and did not find anything interesting.

I love to play poker and i have some real good strategies.

grtzz

Need luck to have a good card always. But even a strong cards can lost for every round. Other poker players lose hope once they sees their set of cards really can even do a win for them. But for a poker enthusiast, even that is bad card, they will all ways do whatever they have to somehow make those bad cards increase their chances of winning.

Although most of the times, that kind of scenario is jsut effective when you are dealing with the players right infront of you compare to online where movement trick is not always possible.

I like to win every time in poker. For this I am one of the most not loved player in many tables because I keep waiting and waiting until I am sure I can win this hand and people who play aggressively starts to get mad and to yell at me. I don't care about that, all I care is to beat them in the game. I am not finding a lot of active poker sites with active players in bitcoin casinos though. I am playing poker at FIAT casinos, their tables are always full of players.

People like you are very few. It seems to me that it is not enough to have my own technology, luck still plays a great role.

I also like an aggressive and loose play, because it makes much harder for my opponents to read my hand. Of course it's a very hard way to play, and sometimes it gets me in trouble, but it also gets more fun this way. If I was a professional poker player I would be like Gus Hansen lol, but it's very hard to play like him xD

My main strategy is to try and get a good read on the situation, and follow through with whatever i think may have the best effect on the other players. such as if other players are all super confident, act like i don't have the slightest f**king clue how to play and then let them build more confidence and take them out when the time is right. on the other hand if all the players act as if they are calm, collected and are watching then i will simply act the same. to be a good poker player you will need a "deck" full of strategies that you can use when the situation is right either singularly in turns or in a combination. good luck, don't lose to much, and remember the moment it isnt fun is the moment you dont need to play.

I usually play cautiously most of the time, never going in with weak hand and once a while I go crazy and aggressive with a weak hand. This usually works at first because after you were so quietly folding they think you got to have something now, and you have the biggest crap :D On the other hand when I have a good hand I hope someone else will raise first so that I can follow and get them to put more money on the table. I guess these are typical moves, many people play like that.

I think you are wrong both a poker game is a game both luck and skills are needed if you had skills but you dont have any luck do you think you can be win  even you are  watching their face and holding a good cards do you think you are 100% you can win?
Both are needed in poker you can not be win in poker if you are not lucky and you can not win in poker 100% if you don't have skills..
So both are needed in poker.. because the face of your opponents can be fake so do you think they are reacting like they are holding a bad card? no they can faking that thing.. unless if you are mentalist you can read their minds..

I usually play calm and never too aggressive in playing poker, I always pay attention to the opponent face and then predicted the the opponent's card from the way they raise or check the card, in poker it is really important to used strategy to win the game, sometimes you need to be aggressive and sometimes you need to lure your opponent to raise the bet

My strategy is the opposite, i tend to be crowded and make use of my face to know the opponent condition in one poker table
very good if we can provoke opponent emotion with some all in at one time.

Yeah sometimes aggressive is required in playing poker, but somehow everytime I play this way (aggressive) the result always lose, and I choose to play poker calmly and relaxed, everyone has his own strategy and different luck in the strategy applied. Good luck!

If we are dealing with a bad beat, then it  always rely on luck, drawing the right cards to beat the opponent with stronger card in hand.  Strategy is observed when we made the stronger card to fold due to our skill of bluffing.  Definitely I agree with you that skill plays the most important role in poker but when the opponedt do not budge nor affected with our skills then as I said luck is the next thing.

all of gambling games needed luck but indeed poker slightly different from other games that besides luck knowledge is necessary and the main thing is the poker players must have good mentally because just like you says that poker similar just like mind game and sometimes there is a players with very dare risky their money even that player had bad cards and we have to Ready to deal with it

Yes many people try this type of strategies. They are not a pro in poker game, but they will scare us to making a big amount betting. See if you play well in this game and you have dared to play with any player then don't care for a betting amount just play with your skill you will win. But this is 70% mind game and 30% it will depend on your luck.

Yes. I agree that is it more on a mind game. And also you should know yourself as well. I think this is the most important skills that you have to developed. You should know when to fold, when to raised a bet. Because if you don't, It will definitely hurt you when you are playing.

Actually in a poker game every gambler have a control of the game, yes as you said we should know when to fold, when to raised a bet if you know about it.#, easy to win in poker game because you would be willing to bet when the card is in your hands nice.

I think that you should at least 100$ and play like example poker tournaments with 50-100 people and if you lose buy again ticket for that tournament if you lose again then buy like example same tournament ticket but for more money.

Its not easy to win when you dont really have enough knowledge and experience on it because you cant execute your moves if you dont have idea or lacking skills. There are some things that you should really be good at to take advantage against other players.Controlling the game would be a tough job specially when luck isnt on your side on drawing the cards.Right decisions would be really needed on this game mostly.

I do not believe in those cases when someone can tell you your poker strategy has left. Most likely it's just talking and nothing more. But I would not recommend trying them on myself.

In poker you really need guts, I usually played with unpredictable style, sometimes I can bluff sometimes I really had a good card, so it is easier to manipulate the opponent, playing aggressive isn't my style, because I ever lost all of my money because playing too aggressive, I ever going all in with only pair of 2 and lost terribly

For a good poker game I think it's pretty good to be friends with math, you know how to memorize, that is, there must be a very good memory, and of course the ability to play and that means knowing some of the basis of this game is it impossible luck will smile.

Poker is mind blowing game, I realize every genius man can play poker and also poker need attention all the time during the game. So i am not consider myself an intelligent and genius person, that's why i can't play poker. Even i try to play but i have failed, Than i left it and choose sports betting, because it suit me and i could win in sports.   

If that would be your mindset then you will surely not improve on playing poker and also its not only for genius person who can able to play poker because those person who you do call genius on playing it are just the ones who do play in already a matter span of time which have been molded already by experience thats why we can able to say that they are genius.It does really require some skills but as long we do know how to play it then it should be okay.

From my experience people who play aggressively don't last long in poker tournaments. Yes, they win more than others at first, in fact they can win up to 10 times more in a short period of time, but usually they lose it all before ITM.

Yes, in poker we mustily need good memory, and ability of face reading, i think mostly sharp mind person easily play it because they can quickly judgment to play and knowing basic points of the poker. But without luck everything is impossible to win, also in gambling.       

It's really a balance, good poker player use every tool in their shed to win the game. Being aggressive is one of the tools you can use, and being passive too. You can't always be the attacker, you have to sometimes play defensively and fold when you don't have a good hand.

I agree, poker is greatly influenced by experience and skills.  Even though this is somehow affected by luck, the flow of the game definitely dictated by the strategy of both players.  Skilled player can make a superior card to fold because of his bluffing skill and non-hesitant move.  This is acquired through experience and knowledge on the field of poker.

Poker is a mind game, and you should be ver active while playing this game. If you show any negligence, you will lose your bet. And here the experience players only make money. The beginners want to lose some money to learn how to play poker. This game is full strategy based game.

In real life poker, as much as possible dont move a muscle after checking your card as your opponent is reading your body language, everymove you make is being interpreted and compared with your last move ,however in online poker game, good luck in trying to read your opponents move because you cant, what you see is what you get.

Completely depends on what kind of game I'm playing, I use a different strategy for cash games, 6 or 9 players and for tournaments (early and late game).
In general, I play pretty loose-agressive in cash games, the less players the looser I play ofc.

Early and mid game in tournaments I play very tight and loosen up at the last tables and in the bubbles.

Wrong strategy in my opinion.
You can't do anything against your natural body language. So you have to do something willingly.
You can pollute your body language by making yourself false movements.

Like to randomly have a little trembling move. Or slightly winkling eyes for some times.
But not moving at all isn't a good idea ^^

Well in my personal experience the strategy i oftenly use is being quiet or silence in every possible deal when i gamble by thus strategy my opponents or other players will have a little bit of chance of idea if i have a good or bad cards if i will be calling for a call or raise in a particular deal.

i wonder how those real poker players got this instinct inside how they ever really assess whats the meaning of certain gestures, we really can
say how perfect it is but chances of being caught with certain movements and interpret it in the right manner is really amazing.

This is where the money come from! For us :D

Before a month ago AI beat for the second time all the top poker pros.
And my friends was divided in two about it: First was, ohhh poker is dead, everybody will game a bot and there will be a mass cheating. The second group was - ooo, a bots are constantly beating the top pros? This mean we still have a lot of space for development and improvement.

Yes I think it's more the second thought. That actually proves that poker is a strategy game, and has plenty of room for improvement. Users can make dice bots etc, and they will end with the same result in the long term, but that Poker AI, is showing that poker is of course profit in the long term, if you make good options. The bot does not make mistakes when it comes to analyzing each hand as an investment.

Also that will of course mean, that users will have to be more careful where they play poker at. Because if they stay away from strong sites, they might come across with cheating ones.

I agree with the second one. This only proves that poker is not luck, it's 90% strategy and prediction. I dare someone to argue that the bot was lucky in all its games against those pros ;)
I always believed that bluffing and intimidating can work wonders in poker, but looks like it doesn't. Cold calculation is what counts.

Yes it's true. I think the most important thing in poker is to vary your style of play. If you play tight, you can pull off a bluff from time to time, if you play lose, you can get a lot of money from your big hands. So yes, everything may work well, if you make a good reading and play with your image a bit.

yeah the key is to be  unpredictable and to be observant of your opponent's smallest moves. this is what makes poker a great game. it plays with different aspects and not just luck. it's fun to watch pro poker matches where you can even see players wearing masks to hide their emotions

Correct, when I started to play porker, I was very predictable. My opponent know if I'm just bluffing or not. So I can the way I play it. It was just an amateur table I played it locally but there was a lot of players.  I played there every week in my height of my addiction. Sometimes I played very loud and talking with a lot of my opponents in the table to throw them off. But there was time I just keep quiet and totally focus on the game. I also learn how to read some of them, even caught them bluffing.  So its very important to be unpredictable indeed and it can work for you if you know how to used it.

Lol, that's not instinct!
That's months and months if not years of training and experience, nothing else.

Moreover, tournament of pokers last entire days, it's not just a one hour game like we know. So it means you have loooooooooooooooots of time to keep observing your opponents. Every hand they play you have to analyse their behaviour, save somewhere in your mind what they're doing, how they're playing, why, what they want...
It's a full time job xD

The key is always to give the same attitude towards the opponent, because the slightest change in our attitude will be good, should continue to analyze the possibility of cards that have appeared and not, and if If enter head to head, give intervention that greatly affect the opponent mentally. The point is not those who analyze us, but we are the ones who ruin their concentration.

Of course, but what if an AI is winning against you? How important is observing opponent's moves compared to counting cards?
An Ai doesn't read your moves or trying to feel your style, it just counts cards and calculates probability.

Lol this one's one of my strategy too. At the first round of betting just go all in lol, but it would be very unfortunate if someone go all in also. But if there were none you got the small and the big bet. Although its a little amount but still you win. But to be a better poker player you should know the combos of the cards for you to win higher amount of money.

Definitely here who plays in Poker should have at least some kind of strategy, but if you look at the very essence of this activity, then there's nothing to do without luck. Because there are two options here, either the person plays and wins always, or the person always plays and wins from time to time, which means that the total amount of the loss is much greater than the winnings.

Yes it's true, looking at your opponents is the only strategy that you could do when you are playing poker because seeing your enemies movements, you will see if their cards has a chance to win or not. And some players are pretending that there card is very great, so there opponents began to fold or they are bluffing.

At the first round go all in? You sound like very good poker player  ;D
What when everyone folds, would you go all in again? And again until someone get high pair and go all in with you? It is what we call "bingo players" not poker players.
Also if you are playing online poker you can't read emotions or body language.

I play very passive and wait for good cards to came. That tactic didn`t give me any great winnings but also didn`t lost any money. It is some closed circle. I also know that have to learn a lot about poker as a game, not basic rules but situations that have to play right: Right bets,re-raise,button position,small blind position, not letting your stake be under 20-30 big blinds etc.. Those are most important things in poker... 

Definitely bluffing and intimidating won't work on bot but it does work on people!  It depends on how good you bluff or intimidate people.  We know seasoned poker player are hard to shake but they can be shaken.  Cold calculation is anti bluff, since you disregard all emotion and not thinking of the oponents gesture.  But this cold calculation have flaw on its own.

I think that more than being aggressive or not is important the psicology: you have to study the other players and is always better change way of playing during the match.

However, Do you know if there is any good blokchain based platform for playng poker?

I think the poker game still be depends in the card you receive and what are the cards releases.
Luck are still needed its not all about strategy in poker.. you just need to luck in order to win in poker.. If you aren't lucky you will lose..
I am not pro in poker but base in my experience its more on luck because the cards is randomly given except if the card dealer is fraudulent,
And sometimes facial expressions of the face can help also but someone can faking their own face because they know there are someone are relaying on the face of every opponents..

I just play poker online so I don't really understand the enemy's reaction and if I get a less good card I choose to "fold" play safe. I don't have any much strategy I just play if have a card that I think is good (two pair).

It’s been said that poker is easy to learn but hard to master. Many players make the mistake of judging their poker playing ability based on the results of each session. Your goal should be to make the best possible play every time. The closer you come to this, the better your results will be. My best strategy when playing poker is avoiding tilt, because i know my opponents will use this to read my emotions. Emotional play results in poor decisions and lost money. Tilting and steaming can happen to anyone, and sometimes the only cure is a break from the game.

This is true, poker can really be easy to learn actually but its really to master because there are some things you need to master too which is essential and useful while you are playing poker. This is the main problem which i do experience when i was still a newbie. Being emotional while you are playing can really be used against you which your opponent would really use that weakness which causes for you to make stupid decisions on your cards.

Enemy? You are playing poker, not going to a war  ;D
To be honest if you keep playing safe opponent will read you when you raise. You have to bluff sometimes, try to steal blinds, always playing safe isn't really a good strategy. 

I think it's natural, the first time playing poker certainly all would be easy on the guess because we do not have experience and it will disappear with the passage of time. I also like it as if they know my cards.

Totally agree with you. Luck is still needed for wining tournament/s(I don`t play cash game). You can be strong in cards but when you are all in it`s a coin flip situation. Things I mention are there to improve and help poker player game. I usually play online so facial expression is irrelevant in that case but style of opponents on the table you can always recognize.   

Each time separate strategy is required to make a winning. So poker is mostly luck based. There are sites that provide cash free access to poker and in those most of the gamblers win and then moves to play with money where loss accompanies the player.

I created my new strategy and that is to stay away from cash games and play only poker freeroll tournaments because when in freeroll get so many luck I come to cash games and some idiot get last 2 hands with dumb cards and he win my money.

The poker game depends on your cards if you get good cards then you can win with your skills, but if you get bad cards, then you should play carefully with your strategies. Yes, the same strategy will not repeat every time because the same cards we will not get every time. So this game needs your skills to win, but sometimes your luck will help you to win your game. How means suppose if you are playing with a dumb player and you got bad cards means you have a chance to win your game.

avoid cash games means you starting the game for free only and actually i have been a part of free roll tournament several times ago and most of them only playing safe with only dare to call if they had good card but it's hard to be the champion of free tournaments of poker because most of the participant also had their own strategy

I really think players should take advantage from the free rolls, and start making their bankroll from scratch like that, but they need to step up eventually. It's very hard to play in freerolls or low stakes. Players have nothing to lose, and yes you can beat them in the long term, but the problem is that you can't beat them all.

In low stakes and freerolls it's easy to see players going all in all the time, and since they are many doing it, you will lose eventually. Since it's free, most of the players will continue playing like that, meaning that you will have a hard time progressing and testing your strategy, and you will need more luck than you should. So after building some bankroll, you should always try to go up in the stakes, in order to be able to play vs serious opponents.

Yes we have to use that facility free roll to learn the game. Here we can able to go with all in if we win it's small jackpot suppose if we lose no problem we can gain back free coins and play the game. With this free rolls you must treat all strategies and once you feel you ok to play with opponents then use your bankroll and play with small stakes.

I made my new strategy for staying away from cash games and play only poker freeroll tournaments freeroll on because when it gets so much luck I came to cash games and there's some stupidity that I do, they finally get the last 2 hands with stupid cards and she wins my money. to avoid the cash in this game you have to start the game free, but in fact I have become part of the free roll tournament some time ago and most of them just play it safe with only dared to call if they have a good card but it is very difficult to be the champion of free poker tournaments because most participants also had their own strategy

Poker is the worst gambling game as rarely there is anyone who knows everything about poker perfectly and the proof many people don't play poker is there is no stand alone gambling site. Poker requires a prior knowledge before gambling so that's the reason i don't gamble with poker

Strategy ? Read others mind ,read others body language and that's why I feel live poker is more interesting and good to play than online poker . Luck doesn't matter in all the hands so I guess taking risks at right time against right player is also important.

Please make sense.
It is the worst because not everybody knows everything about it? How about slots or roulette or just simply Dice?
Just don't play it if you don't want to but don't make general statements like that.

Only dice and other slot games we no need to have any skills because we just need to click the button to try our luck. But this poker game requires some skills to play. I'm not good in this game, so I never play poker games with money. In general, all these games need the luck to win money, but poker and sports betting skills will increase the winning chances compared to other luck based games.

You should make a research on how many people playing poker games, there are so many poker players in this world. At least there are many poker players in my country, most of my local poker sites always full of players playing ring games starting from the lowest stake till the highest stake.
Probably it worst for you because you do not know how to play it. But once you understand the game, you'll get addicted to it.

agree with this,poker might the one of game that need skills and strategy,and playing poker need to be trained,if we watching some gambling movie,we can see there are many gambling strategy,but now even harder to get strategy because we play it online,and yes i agree dice and slot not need this skill or strategy,they depend on luck.

Bankroll management that I have learned from a Professional Poker player named isnortbooze. One of his guides can be seen here :

https://www.betcoin.ag/poker-bankroll-management-how-properly-isnortbooze

which is I think very much true.

Their are players who are talking about strategy and all for playing poker but i used to play with very low strategy only play when the cards are good if not just fold it. But after forutune jack stopped poker i have also stopped to pay poker with bitcoin as other sites are not good and they are playing with bots to cheat with players.

It is true that You have to follow the Bankroll management in all gambling because it will really help you to lessen the risk and when you will see the ROI in long term you will find that you are in profit. I use to follow this system in poker and sports betting which is why i am in decent profit.

That is not low strategy, and on low stakes that is probably the best one, since most players are crazy and will play a lot of hands, so will most definitely be behind when you face them. For bigger stakes however, it will probably not work, because other players will see how you play, and will just fold your hands. You will need to take advantage of that, and pull a bluff from time to time, otherwise it will not be profitable long term.

We with friends often play on Saturdays in a poker. The special strategy for me is not present, I simply try to be less than distinguished in that moment when for me on hands strong maps.

You are wrong man, he was right. that is a low strategy because all poker player know about this strategy, they will carefully when see one player made a low stakes and most of player will not rise the bet. are not believe with me? just test this strategy one times and you will got the answer.

There is a big difference in playing with friends on saturday nights, live poker with pro players and with online poker. You need to make different observations, to look different things, because poker is not just playing with your cards, you need to predict what you playing against. If you can predict other players card you will win a lot in poker, and how you predict what other players have is with your observations of the players, their moves. You need to follow how they play, on what their rise, when they fold.
With friends its easy to play, you don`t risk much, and with more playing with same players you can read them easier. With more money involved more stress you have, and its much harder to read others.

I agree full with you. For playing online f.e. multiplayer I prefer tournaments with fixed entry and try to stay as long as possible with low risk. In real life poker there is another aspect involved, a psychological. But I fear, that I am not good in this, so I prefer online poker.

Online poker is dangerous to compare real poker game. if you are not good in this game then better don't try online poker. In a real poker game, we will get a chance to read our opponent player how they will play and how they will move the cards based on that we can make a plan and win the game. But in online you don't have this chance, and you will not get to know either your opponent is pro player or newbie. So making strategies will become a little bit tough.

Yeah good point there dude. Not being able to see exactly how other players react to hands on the table makes it a lot more trickier. And i don't find it that exciting. It's a different feel looking at players around the table, seeing their faces, every reaction, every twitch in the face, it all adds up to poker's excitement. You learn also to hide your own.

Players also make use of aggressive tactics like constant eye contact to unnerve their opponents or use fake tells to bait other players into a trap. The only tells you can get in online play is the betting pattern and speed of your opponents.Another important difference from the digital world to the real world is in fact the digital aspect of online play. While playing in any online poker room you are presented with a lot of different information such as your chip count and opponents’ chip counts on the fly.

If you love to play poker then sure you also love sports betting. Because usually those people who like poker they also play sports betting. But i choose sports betting than poker because also here we use strategy, and my winning in sports betting is more than poker. Before one years, i left to play poker may be i couldn't use perfect and right strategy in here, but i could use right strategy in sports betting and in this way, i can call myself that i am a sports gamble.
