Let's talk about poker!

[wxa7115]

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.

If memory serves me right poker is classified as a game of skill, luck plays a role of course, but just by looking at poker in television you will see the same faces winning tournaments and lots of money so it stands to reason that poker is a game of skill.

I think no need to require a skill to play poker just that we need to dare to play scare feared opponents in the table with a big bet, it makes me happy to do it

Poket is great,I really like that game and it's just so intriguing,yeah it involves luck but also psychology and strategy,it isn't like you just gamble and hope for the best,in poker you actually have to rely on your skills first before anything else.

Everybody does it ! Believe me if you say that to playing poker you just need skill well let me say that it might useless cause out there are many unskilled player with big funds out there but when they raise the bet till the limit of the skill player well you'll see they'll (skill player) slide the card and fold fold fold fold and fold except if they get the good card ðŸƒÂ� 

i think skill is important factor to play poker, although the luck factor is a must to have, but still we need to have skill to play poker, without having a good skill then i think we can not win with easy. maybe you can say that the good card will come to us if we luck, but from our skill we can modify or make something with our card so we can win without having a good cards.

And also with your opinion I would say in playing poker you don't need skill
You just need a luck
Or you don't need luck but you need to have a large fund and confidence with your brave �

But in poker it is a mind game not really just about luck, there are plenty of situation where you can play your cards right. Even if you have a royal flush but you cannot get anyone to commit to your bet then there is no point. That is where skills come into play. Even with a shit hand you can still win by bluffing your way to it.

With all of my respect I appreciate your idea that in poker we need skill
But i will call big funds is the number one or the important thing that every play need

I see if you do want to play with it is a right idea to start from zero to hero but when you see somebody try to make not believe on what your card how to say ?

but from my friend said we are need skill to play poker because we need to select the cards to be the best cards in our hands and the rest, we need our luck to work in the games. i don't know exactly how to play poker because for me, poker is a difficult games and i can not understand even my friends is telling me how to played. maybe the skill that we should have is something that maybe useful for us to selecting the cards that will be the best cards for us to win the poker games.

but you have not started to try out the game, only a few suggestions you can play poker from freerolls do not use capital so that when you lose you do not feel aggrieved but to add your thoughts before play using the capital, sometimes experience will teach us many things

I would love to play poker with you if we ever meet seems like that you love giving people
free money.

Anyway, playing poker does need skills. If you are playing poker and just scaring your opponents with your
big bets, well, you're just giving them your money. it's may be fun, but it's not fun if you lose bankroll.

It requires skill, general players like us, will never win a cash table in a big tournament, players need to have patience, strong energy, otherwise people can't win the money.

That is where knowledge and experience comes into play. If you are an amateur poker player don't even think that you can reach the finals of the poker tournament, unless you are a prodigy that can sweep the whole tournament on your first try. Skill and experiences plays a great role in poker, that is why not everybody gets rich from playing poker.

Another dumb poker player, bluffing on every rounds to make your opponents think that you have good cards? Many people will be happy to play against you as you will only giving away your money.
Once again I would say "Playing poker without skills = stupid"

[rozee]

at the poker game the chances and skill is needed because the good card which we get is called chances and raise the bet and bluff is skill that things needed to win at poker game without it we cant win but to raise bet or bluff should with good card because if others player have good card they accept your bluff you will lose at that game

Tbh even I never understood how to actually plat poker even though I checked guides , videos and websites but never understood. And also I don't get it if you don't know the rules on how to actually play the game then why do you play it.
I don't think poker is the only game available while gambling just gamble a game of which you know the rules and how to play it.

The major online poker sites offer varying features to entice new players. One common feature is to offer tournaments called satellites by which the winners gain entry to real-life poker tournaments. It was through one such tournament on PokerStars that Chris Moneymaker won his entry to the 2003 World Series of Poker. He went on to win the main event, causing shock in the poker world, and beginning the poker boom. The 2004 World Series featured three times as many players as in 2003. At least four players in the WSOP final table won their entry through an online cardroom. Like Moneymaker, 2004 winner Greg Raymer also won his entry at the PokerStars online cardroom.

Well you actually have to play poker to fully understand how it works and how different it can be from other forms of gambling. When i started playing poker, i didn't understand it that much as well but when you start to know how other players play it, what strategies they use, how enjoyable it is to win on a bluff, it gets a lot more interesting. And i think in poker you NEED to acquire skills and technique and i'm sure that through experience and a lot of time playing, players wpuld be able to get these

Yeah, in the contrary, most people lost money from poker, which is not easy game, only casinos win money in the long term from fixed rate rake. Even Tom Dwan is broke.

This, the real trick with poker is about maximizing your earnings and minimizing your losses, if you got poker by the flop but when you bet everyone folds, then you are doing it wrong, you need to give your opponents the chance to get something going in their hands and that is when you trap them with your winning hand.

Well it is going interesting according to where many of us told me that it requires skill
For this like tournament I do agree about it if a player must have the skill it will be different when you at gambling with a large of funds in my idea by large funds you can play as you want and of course its you whose own the table

I personally prefer Poker over slots, blackjack and roulette. Just because the liklihood is higher to win if you have good skills and money management strategies. I also like to poker on Betcoin because it is probably the best Bitcoin poker out there with a lot of players.

The good thing is there is almost a never ending learning curve to poker vs some other types of betting where you can reach a optimum level of play and improve no longer.

this is one of those questions that people are never going to come to a conclusion on. i however believe it is so simple, it is a combination of both and the result is only depending on the skills. you have to be lucky to get a good card but it is your skills in the end that is going to save you.

to be honest i have tried many online poker games, but i always end up disliking all of them.
i prefer the actual game of poker face to face with my friends.

Well I can relate on what you had said a bit more of it. Because in online games in poker, you cannot do bluffing with your opponents unlike in the actual game of poker face to face you can see their face reaction when you are using bluffing strategy, even you have a bad card hold it. This might most often happened in the midst of the games together with skills and brain.
