Poker Myths - Help you become better players

[JohnBitCo]

I only play poker on my PC offline/online, nothing money involved yet as I am not into gambling too but more of leisure only, I know it will be different if you are face to face with your opponent/s. I think poker is a game of luck and concentration and might involve some emotions.

Can you share the name of the poker software you played? I guess that will help us and other people to learn about playing poker and we don't have to risk our money to learn. That will be a good way for us if we can master the poker game before we play using the money and I think we can learn deeper about the poker game. But yes, in the poker game, we will need the luck to win, and yes, I agree that we need to bluff to convince the other player that we have a good card, so they will think that they don't have a chance to win.

Well you can find many free poker games which does not involve gambling or money to play. You can search google for "offline free poker"  and you will find many such sites like https://www.247freepoker.com/

This is well written post.
Even though I could not read everything, i kind of understand the point you are trying to make.
Your tips on bluffing right in a poker game sounds reasonable.
I have seen people bluff during card games but I never knew it was a poker strategy

I guess you haven't been playing or seen someone playing poker in front of you.
Though bluffing is very useful in every kind of game it's not just in poker and as far as i remember they call it as self-deception.
Allowing yourself to believe a lie that looks real to the other people and that's how you do the bluffing strategy.
Using this kind of strategy in the same people everyday will not gonna work anymore unless you do randomly or not using the same technique in front of people who do know your strategy very well.

I guess you should put the link to the article when you say your gonna share some in here,

Always link a source if reposting non original content or it can land a person in trouble and lead to misunderstandings.   Also the source is required to gauge the accuracy and bias to a piece but I totally agree with pre thinking your game stance before taking part so you are best ready.    Nothing will prepare a person for actual higher stakes but it helps to at least know the game itself and then learn to handle your own reaction to losing or the threat of opposing players in a game, thats the higher level to develop in order to win.

Just keep in mind, play money experience =/= real money experience. With play money, you won't face the same emotions and gambling psychology entailed by having real money on the line. You'll also face much better players in real money games.

play money experience is equals to real money experience ? is that what you are tryin to say ?

The opposite. Play money experience does not equal real money experience. Success with play money will not necessarily carry over to real money games.

you confuse me but i agree on the last part of your sentence  .  playing with play money is not pressure and we can play properly becuase there is no way to loss but when it comes to playing with real money , our gameplay will change dramatically becuase there is a pressure of lossing .

Yes, there's the pressure of losing, which usually results in playing too nitty/tight. There's also the emotional effects of losing, which can send players on tilt.

I'm not so sure if bluffing would work in a digital environment though. Because of course your opponents can't see you nor your cards. I suggest that if your shooting for playing poker in a gambling site online, you practice first on free poker games available on the internet, they're free, have acceptable AI difficulty that would allow you to right-fit your abilities for the real thing, and the best is that you don't need to spend real money on betting only to lose at the end, especially because it sounded like you still know little to nothing about the game. Playing against computers have helped me enhance my skills particular on the games I play like chess, solitaire, and poker. So give it a shot, it just might work.

Poker is one of the games that's  more on strategy although luck is a big part to win. Playing pokers helps you to boost your memory also it can help you to focus that's why many people are interested not only because to improve your memory but its really fun to played with. And when the player is enjoying the game abd used their strategy then it easy to them to take the risk and decide carefully.

Poker is one of the games that more on strategy

There is no myth to win poker .  Yes , if you are an experienced player you can use your skills to perform better in player to player match. But again you need luck in poker too to get better cards than your opponent.
I do find poker to be more interesting only because of involvement of some skills while playing.
