Let's talk about poker!

[molsewid]

Poker is one of the best play card i played before , gambling does needs skills and also it needs luck you can't just predict what card will be on the plop we always supposed that every time we all in the card we want to show is always random if your lucky enough then your card will be shown on the table and take all the profit. Poker is very funny and enjoyable game ever since

[cjmoles]

For most people poker is a game of chance since very few can truly play the game the way it is supposed to be played since we don't have the economic means to do so.

You don't need to have an extensive bankroll to participate in the game.  There are several different stake levels, from the micro stakes to the nose bleeds.  The trick is to manage your bankroll and master each level before advancing to the next.  There are also plenty of freerolls (free tournaments) that one can play to develop one's skills before committing a bankroll to the game.

I like poker but I'm practicing my skill with an app. And I like to play it again and again maybe I'm not ready yet for the real poker.

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.

So this is your "trick"! But why do you make $1 posts for a scam site instead of using your "trick" and make money with it?

In poker, what you need to is to have a experience or knowledge in card games so that it would be easy to you to play it online. In terms of playing poker, yes it really needs big amount of money but not all the time. You have an option to place or how much bet you prefer.

I was reading something about poker, and i end up looking players stats and earnings. First place holder with highest earnings Daniel Negreanu (and my favorite player) earned over $30M. His skills and ability to read opponents are just amazing.
It's very interesting game if you ask me, and you are wrong, you don't have to bet big amounts, there are lots of cheap tournaments.

Free tournaments are not really the best way to measure how good you are, I have played some of those tournaments and the players just don't seem to care, betting all in in the first hand or quiting if they lose a difficult hand, so in order to play poker you need money or no one will play seriously.

You should play poker for real man. Don't just play an app that will give you nothing in the end. And instead of killing your time with an app I guess it's now the right time to apply what you had learned from that app by simply playing online poker. I know you can do it man. Go for it.

Poker is best played in real life not on the games on your app or even online gambling games. The virtual world destroys the fun in playing poker and there are so much techniques you cannot apply in virtual poker and in the real one. Like for example, bluffing. You cannot bluff properly in virtual poker. All you can do is just put a high number then that's it for virtual poker. Unlike in real poker, you can talk and do facial and body expressions to bluff your way into getting your opponents to play their cards.

Yeah real poker is much better when it comes to excitement. But for those people that are satisfied to stay on their homes playing in front of their desktops against computer generated players or with live ones, it's up for them. But what I'm saying is that he needs to try poker the real ones so that he can experience the thrill from it.

With poker you need to have both.
Skills because you need to know when you have a good or a bad hand so you know when to fold and when not.
Chance because you need luck on your side if you want to win. You need to get the good cards to come on the table before you can get a good hand

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?

Yes we need both skill and chance to make a profit in a poker game, This game is 70% depends on your skills and 30% your luck. If you are a pro poker player, but you will not get good cards, then you will lose your game here you need the luck to win your game. And suppose if you get good cards, but you don't have skill how to play you will lose your game. So you need both to win your game.

If I am a thief, Get 5 BTC for proof who Game Protect scammed and for how much?

No, my consumer protection service is cost free if you register your account with Game Protect.

No, I do not need try to convince people that the casinos are going to rip them off, you can read about it every day in the forums.

No, legal action is real and not imaginary. One might could consider your fantasy dreams as imaginary!

Can't you think of something honest to do with your life?

Obviously you can't!

Hi cjmoles, I see you on poker tables at betcoin.ag. We played several tournaments, I notices your nickname its same there. Will you play 250 GTD Weekly THANK YOU Freeroll?  Game is starting for 15 minutes and I`m waiting, last couple times I fall out in middle of the game, I hope I will take some nice place tonight. Good luck to all players tonight.

Game-protect you are not a nice person, I told you that in our private conversation. Again you arguing and fighting, always you. I wanted to talk about poker here, with people who like to play poker especially with bitcoins. I know there is other sites, and I played on most of them, and I don`t know why are you messing in my choice? You are pushing people and that is not nice, if you have something to say about poker, to call us somewhere do it, tell us about new sites and poker events, but please stop arguing and insulting people! Look I said please, cause I expect there is a little human in you!

It is entirely a game of skill. Don't have a good hand, fold it. Have a good hand, know when to bet it high or when you might be beat. That's where the skill comes in. The only luck involved is in what cards you're dealt and the community cards. As far as playing online, I play at nitrogensports and betcoin. Those same limits as you. We have probably played together a few times.

Yes, I am a human and fight for the rights of poker players.

My question to cjmoles was in regards to poker, so no idea what your problem is?

Can you notice you attitude? What my problem is? You wish to argue with me, but I have no intention to do that. I quoted you up so you can check that there is no word about poker, cjmoles talks about pokerand you told him that he is a thief. And later you continue in same manner.
Let`s be normal friends, we can talk about poker its a game, you do not need to be tied for one site, you can play it where ever you wish

Edit: Last night I was 6 ( first 5 are in pay out ), and my end was with two ladies. All in with around 5000 chips and cjmToo called with ace and eight, he won the hand with flash, he got for same colors and his ace was 5 for flash. Nice game thou, I had chip leader position in beginning, but in the end I didn`t get nothing. More luck next time, that is poker.

Stop the fight already about game-protect. Whether it's a scam or not, nothing will change even if you argue about it in every single thread.

About the actual topic, poker is a skill game. The better players will always end up in profit, when reasonable bankroll management is applied. However, I see many posts that have a really false image about how to play well. Ideally, you want to play a range of hands. You can't only play good hands, because nobody would give you action. By mixing in bluffs and weaker hands, you become much harder to exploit.

Many micro stakes players do the mistake of acting too quickly. They don't have time to analyze the decisions their opponent has made in the hand. Also the way your opponent has played their past hands is very important, as it reveals their tendencies.

In short, poker is a very complex game of skill. Luck however, is mostly seen on short-term results. Making optimal decisions, observing your opponents very carefully and being good in spotting their tendencies can make you extremely profitable.

Edit. Hand ranges also play a big role in poker. Sometimes when you herocall and are right, it is a bad call. Simply because, they don't have enough bluffs in their range to support a calm with the given pot odds.
