Let's talk about poker!

[game-protect]

...cjmoles talks about pokerand you told him that he is a thief...

cjmoles said I am a thief and this is not related to poker! Or did he mean I steal chips while playing poker?

Really?  Why are you a thief?  Is that your trick?  You try to convince people that the casinos are going to rip them off and then you take their money for imaginary protection?  Can't you think of something honest to do with your life?

Is poker a game of skill, or a game of chance? Many times asked question, no one can agree on what a game of poker is. There is studies and court decisions regarding the skill / chance debate, there is couple endless threads on this forum too. But I don't wish to open that discussion again.

For beginning I wish to ask where are you playing, and can we meet on some site?
I like to play on betcoin.ag, cash game on tables 0.05/0.1 and 0.1/0.25 mbtc. Tournaments are also something I like to play, but just when I have time to sit few hours freely, what is rarely in past few weeks.

My nickname there is Underworld.

I think poker was a game of skills that really needs an analysis, though nowadays this game card is very popular in the entire world and aside from that ti became like a sport game worldwide too in a different tournaments.

It is a game of skill, it is pretty popular with the gamblers because you show off your skills with these game. I dont think you need analysis but observation, not only on the cards but on how your opponents play the game, if you are feeling he is raising means they have a good card, same as when they bet, taking the risks. If you know that you will not be having a good cards on your hands, and your losing, it is advisable to just fold.

Poker are all about observation, good decisions and skills to portrait these 2.

There's sort of a spectrum in gambling from games of chance to skill games. On one end of the spectrum are games of chance that you have no control over the outcome (dice). On the other end of the spectrum, the gambler has a great deal of control such as betting on a game of pool that you are actually playing in and you know the opponent's skill level. I think poker would fall on the skill end of that spectrum.

Well i definitely poker falls in that category. There are nust a few games in gambling that gives you a better chance with the results dpending on your skill and experience and poker is the best example. Also it's a lot more fun than those luck based games. The excitement is on a different level when you're looking at your opponents and judging their reactions

I am playing poker on the same site as you are only. So, we could need in the game  what is your nic there?
I think poker is a game of skill and a chance together. During the game the one or another is coming to you nonstop. There are cases when you have good skills but a card is not going. And there are times when you are so so player, but your luck with card is just visible.

Poker game was very popular here in my country, aside from a tournament battle card I admired my cousin who is a poker game player and having duels with his opponents and he was always sent in different places her in place and there a gambling bet involved. This game was a full analysis every time they played.

But unfortunately we do not find all the bitcoin gambling sites are providing facility to play poker with them. Moreover we do not have threads here to discuss about strategies and to share experiences playing poker. I just know poker is another skill based gambling after sports betting, but I am always afraid to try there.

After sports betting many people are here loving poker due to its versatility on providing chances to gamblers to use their skill and experience which maybe another reason for people are not discussing about poker here often.

I think many threads here are giving tips about strategy about poker.. before.. since its not demand game for now unlike before that almost many bitcoin users are gamble with poker, for now i can seen that sports betting is mostly people wants right now.
Before i heard like play todos is one of the good site  that you can gamble poker PVP or bot enemy.. the good part there i want is if you start a poker table pvp you can earn in your own made table just you need to refer players to play poker in your table..

I like to play poker and I am sure that it's game of skills mostly. A guy with luck or chance can win once or twice maximum and that's it and a real player with skills can make gambling as something professional and to make good money on it.

playing poker is not only that, it takes patience and thinking more seriously to win the game, if we lose concentration then we will lose all our bets for this game, but there is likely to win in the next game if you are really very confident in playing poker

And how do you do that? If you lose patience and concentration in game than you wont be concentrated for next game and it's better to come back next day than to do some stupid mistake and lose again. @taki mostly you won't get good hand so waiting for 1 good hand won't bring you anything in poker.

Its more of a luck game than a skill game, you can not really influence anything in the game, but you should know when to back off and when to go further. That is the only skill you got to have (if you can call it a skill ), everything else is pure luck and you can not change anything.

[Creepings]

I think poker is a good example of skill based gamble because you really need skills to overwhelm your opponents to get that big pot. I did some poker on many sites when I am just new here and it is really hard for me to win as newbie because they are always overwhelming me with big bets and I always do all in because of it, yes, that how big their bets are. I think that is also a way to win, and they are using theit skill to win the game.

No doubt when we are talking about card games like poker it does really need some skills and good tactics on how to overwhelm opponents showing big bets will give some impact but this method doesnt work all the time because there are players doesnt been affected by these strategies unless if you are a newbie on poker world then you will surely fall out on this one.

corrected your typos. btw in the main point, for me, even for the skilled player will only slightly increase the probability of winning, rather than all the way to win. which means you might lose to a person virgin to poker as a professional player depending on his/her luck, unless you could accurately predict what further result exactly is. you need not to be skilled to win poker against a champion if you are fortunate. nobody knows in fact.

Poker is a game of skill why is that ? Anyone who play the game poker has the characteristics and the skills. They knew how to analyze the situation once all the players have there card they be able to figure out when to say call and bet again on ahigher amount same from folding a card as a sign of no deal they know also the right timing to do the bluff.

[xvids]

I think it is both game of skills and chance,
Well if you are playing it face to face with other players you are using some skills reading their gesture or something,
And betting some chance that you would win with your prediction.

[swogerino]

Poker is a game of skill and chance together. More of a skill game but luck is also needed in certain times when your cards are not good for so many hands in a row. In this situation one is forced to bluff at least 1 time so he doesn't lose money. If the balance is high enough you can be very patient and hit with a really good hand, this is where skill is involved.

Well you're right and skill is definitely the most defining factor way more than luck. There can be a lot of remedies even if you have a bad hand if you're an experienced player. Getting yourself to be unreadable is a very big advantage as your opponents will be nervous. Being too safe also makes you a bit easy to read so having bluffs a couple of times will help you be unreadable for your opponents
