Let's talk about poker!

[phr0stbyt3]

Poker is a game of chance if you don't know how play it, but if you know how to play it then poker is a game of skill and probably one of the most rewarding games in the casino since almost any other game does not give you the chance of winning at all.

If you see most of the gambling games needs some sort of skills and of the course the rules on how to play and requirements to win. I find that blackjack is more profitable as there is equal probability of winning and losing while if you see other gambling games like roulette if you put on a specific number there is very  less chance of win while on color there is a equal probability.

Blackjack is not profitable even if you play prefect basic strategy, the only way to get profits is to use card counting in a live casino but eventually you are going to get banned from the casinos because they don't like to lose money to card counters.

I'm not talking about a real casino I'm talking about online gambling. In online gambling there is that probably fair mark and also gambling in real life isn't easy they require to many details which i don't want to share. Till now for blackjack i have made some good profits

Second place last night. 250 GTD Weekly THANK YOU Freeroll like I said is one of my the favorite tournaments, first is free ( you can get ticket on many ways ), there is no late registration period, there is no re-buy`s and add-on`s, game is starting with 2500 chips and that is poker. I like it cause there is no crazy all ins, this kind of tournaments I play with pleasure.

Game protect I play poker on several places, but betcoin.ag is one of my favorite sites. I love to play slots there, couple days ago I had very very nice win on slots, all thou it wasn`t the first time I was very very happy. Can you believe in that? 1.37 btc with just couple free spins?

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 for me poker is more like a 50/50 it is a game that is based on both ends of your luck and skills, it is were your luck and skills are tested on how you use them. your luck in your cards that the holder gives you and also your skills on how you use them and call the correct moves on your cards. So it's very important you balance both, if you have both of them you are pretty much won the game. I usually don't play poker online that's because I really don't trust online that's because maybe the cards can be tweaked or something so I don't play online poker. I have tried playing it for fun but not in real betting.

I'm playing poker since im 16 (so over 10 years now) and it is for me the one and only game and hobby.
Biggest win was around 15k $ - and many four digit wins.
Live and online are so different, it seems there different games.
I love it and i would recommend everybody to play poker instead of other casino games loke roulette, blackkjack or dice and so on.

Wow, you're a good player I presume. Are those winnings from live poker games or online poker? I don't play poker too much, let alone gamble on it. I usually just play on my iPhone with free poker games like the one offered by zynga games (not sure if that was the correct name). I'm not too confident in playing skill based gambling.

Why would I believe anything of what you say?

Edit: Game-protect I`m just playing 0.1/0.25 mbtc cash game, come to play a bit with us on betcoin.ag!

$10 cash game, LOL!

Did you ever think how betcoin.ag can pay the 70 signature campaign promoters from $10 cash game?

Well I understand that you can't believe in anything cause there is no honesty in you, you don't know what that means. You are just one little troll. But that is not so big problem, problem is that you messing with other people choices, live and let others do the same, but you don't know what that means, and of course you don't believe in anything except your own opinion ( and you have a friend here on forum probably you trust him ).
Yes I thought of that, game protect but that shows how much ignorant you are, check out tournament page, and maybe you will be surprised how many people are playing. Please do full research before you start any accusation. And I play 10 dollars cash game, but you have no respect for my choice, no you don't have respect for anyone or anything, what that says about you?

[lockept93]

I#m really thinking about a poker blog here on bitcointalk - just crypto poker.

There are already multiple threads here on btctalk about just that. Might be better to restart or post on them, than starting a new one. A hand discussion thread would probably a better topic to start for poker.

Poker is something hard to understand, but users have got lot of sources as well online support to learn poker in a simple manner. There are online games where you can play without risking our amount. There are people who are hard lovers of poker who focus much on poker than other sports or dicing events.

[game-protect]

Well I understand that you can't believe in anything cause there is no honesty in you, you don't know what that means.

I do not believe anything you say, because you are a criminal liar!

( and you have a friend here on forum probably you trust him ).

I have no friend here.

Yes I thought of that, game protect but that shows how much ignorant you are, check out tournament page, and maybe you will be surprised how many people are playing.

14 players in average!

Please do full research before you start any accusation. And I play 10 dollars cash game, but you have no respect for my choice, no you don't have respect for anyone or anything, what that says about you?

I researched the betcoin.ag scam very well!

About what accusation do you speak?

[cramcram21]

I think it is a game of skill if you are playing it like face to face with a real person not just a machine,
Because if you are playing with them face to face you could read some of their behavior and emotions,
But I think it is both skill and luck that has to do with your winning I mean let's face it you could turn something from it just by a small chance of luck right.

or http://imgur.com/a/F66ZA You accuse me that I`m a criminal liar? This is what you do with everyone, you attack attack and attack without any logic and sense, again that shows a lot about your personality.

Yes you have your friends/coworkers and I still wonder who is paying you to spread rumors and spam around the forum.

14 players in average? You don`t even know what you are talking about ( and this is not the first time )

You researched something and I wonder what you have with that? As we know that guy made a deal for himself and he took the money in the end, I was here when that happened, and every casino for fiat or bitcoin have rules, and I wasn`t satisfied with every casino always but it is like it is. But that is how you promote your service, very bad way if you ask me, now even if you are valid ( in what I doubt ) I will not visit your site ever cause you are very bad person ( I told you several times about that and I explained you more then once).
You are just a spammer, and one more thread is argue just cause of you, you turned every discussion in your own foolish war against some casinos, that is madness, and that`s why I think that you are paid for that. A lot of negative trust from trusted members is also a good pointer.
I told you more then once that I will not talk with you anymore, and again you pulled me into argue with false accusation and information`s. This is the last time! I hope that other members on this forum will see your real face after all this! Good luck and please don`t wrote here anymore!

It actually depends on what kind of poker, I believe. If you're talking about poker games in casinos that are played against the house, then it is mostly chance and luck based.

But if you're talking about tournament based poker or those played against other players, then it has a much higher element of skill.

Unless the onlince casino have live feed of poker games where the dealer is an actual person.  So you are playing against the house in real time based poker game.  Even so, if the poker game is proven to be fair, playing against the house is still affected by your skill.  This is not a random dice games.  So skill and strategy still affect the outcome of the game even if you are playing against the house.

You got the point it will be still depends if they are really giving a provably fair..  but i already seen a site which is live that you can see the fraud or tricky when giving a card to players. . that i heard before.. so i think its still good choice to go in poker contest because of live and more chance to win unlike in online that we do not know if they are giving fair or not.

Poker is both chance and skill. You don't have control over the cards that you are dealt but the betting, bluffing, counting cards, and knowing the odds requires skill.

and once again mentally is required too for playing poker because sometimes you will facing the players who very dare to bluffing even they have bad cards than yours and if you have no good mentally it will be useless even you have good card

[lockept93]

In shortterm poker is luck - in longterm poker is skill.
Simple rules, but it takes longer than a life to lern it.
