The longer you play poker the better you become ?

[PeRo]

There is no particular skill in poker, there is only tactics. You can get better by learning how to play in some situations, learn tactics. But there is no real skill involved because it is a luck game, you only need to know when to fold or call. Sometimes, people happen to get in lucky streaks and get off the table when the streak ends. But that's coincidence or simply luck but the streak will end at some point.
You can get advantage if you know to track cards and read players, but those are rare and really hard to gain skills.

Probably OP was about to ask the need of remembering old incidents so that we could manage into profits while playing poker. Because, old incidents are always good to remember as tactics. When there are repeating or similar situations then we may go for making use of experience, I guess other than this there could be no big advantage for continuous poker player.

Poker is good for experienced players but that does not mean all experienced poker players are making good and consistent profits. Your experience may be playing some role but definitely not all the roles which are required to end in profits.

In poker, the result brings the experience that you have in the game, of course, in the endless number of times, people who are bad in poker get the results, so they say that they have nothing at the end, there is no skill, and not everyone can play poker well. You need to be well bluffed, or make your opponents get caught, if you have good cards. There are also people who just happily follow them and take a lot of money, but even then he becomes a better player, because you are collecting experience. There is a factor that you will be playing better for longer, it must be so that you get into the waters of that game, while the one who plays less may not even know all the rules, which happens often.

What do you think can be a consistent winning player on this game? is this game of skills or luck?
the longer you play more skills you get?

poker is more of luck to me and skills should not even be measured in gambling as those that claim to be a good gamblers are also loosing.  I could remember that we have one way and most time loosing way and a few winning way if you are too lucky.

It is, but still I can't agree with you in terms of skills,... On gambling you should have both of it in order to win. Luck isn't enough to let you win the game, if you have the luck but doesnt know how to play it well, then it will be wasted soonly. Same goes for the skills, even though you have it but luck doesn't in favor on you then you lose.

Both is needed, but you can't rrally tell whether you're lucky or not, just go with the flow. And maybe in that way you can finally feel that luck resides on your body.

That is good luck if you have that both of being lucky and skills on how to play gambling, we must take advantage if we know how to manage to be lucky and next is skills in gambling. But sometimes people make a huge loose because they're hoping a piece of luck every time they play gamble. Chasing in lost also will make addicted to gambling.

At this time we must put this in our mind that gambling is not good on us, it may destroy our future. So, while you can control don't make your self to ruin in gambling.

I disagreed with the OP on longer you play poker the better you become, but will state categorically that poker is better when you study the players before taken the move to practice(play). It took me time to study the game of poker before i started playing it on a ground star and on a better note.

Nope I think experience also affects your knowledge and how to play in poker. we know that poker doesn't depend entirely on luck.
so the longer you play the more you know the ins and outs of poker and of course you can make more strategies in poker

[STT]

The more you play, the more practise you will receive but its not a given that every player will improve in a linear way.    I know I will probably be repeating mistakes for a long way before I progress, maybe I will need to get some kind of lessons or revision on common fallacies when gambling in poker to move forward in my game

I think if you want to learn about poker, you don't have to use money inside the game and for this way, I am sure that you can increase your skills so when you can beat many people, you can try to play the poker game with money involved. It is safety for you because you don't have to spend money while you want to learn poker until you know how to play poker with the right. But if you insist on playing poker game using the money, then you cannot get something inside the game, and even you will frustrate because you are lost in many times.

Poker is also a sort of luck game although there is some knowledge also required, unlike dice games which are 100% luck based.
Studing the players will also not help much as the players may change thier tactics. You should come up with your own stragegy which may help you in winnig poker.

That strategy is to perfect your persona so that you have a perfect "poker face"
which is a sort of acting.

As mentioned in other posts there are other skills which have to be learned such
as memory and how to read other players mannerisms.

Poker is nor based on luck because you can win with inferior cards.

In some cases maybe its applicable because the more you become familiar in the game and the way people played this with you then experiences and strategies might come to your mind but yet luck is needed for continuously winning coz of you have none of this then for sure failure will be there both with chance of wins

The more you play, the more practise you will receive but its not a given that every player will improve in a linear way.    I know I will probably be repeating mistakes for a long way before I progress, maybe I will need to get some kind of lessons or revision on common fallacies when gambling in poker to move forward in my game

But even if we got some progress is the opportunity of failing is always indeed since gambling is full of lust that even experts fall from greediness

I don't think that poker only depends on luck factor because when someone wants to play poker, he needs to have the skill to play and without understanding how to play, he doesn't have a chance to win, and he will lose in many times. So maybe if he knows a poker game, but he only gets lose of his money, at least he can get more experience which will give another knowledge for him in the future.

From my point of view it's obvious that the more you play the better you become. You are not just making a wheel spin, there are certain factors that you can use to affect the outcome of a game, you can watch videos of pro players explaining some things or giving some tips.

Of course, when you're on the high level of the game all of them know about it and there is when the thing gets tricky. Pocket is not only about skill though, but those definitely can improve your win rate and make you get better at decision making.

If you know how to play and if you do actually play, then you'll know as well that luck doesn't really play that big of a part in poker. It's about reading your opponents and not letting them read you. And experience definitely is a bigger factor than luck since an experienced poker player can beat you even if you have the better hand.

Believe it or not but the higher stakes you play online the easier it gets to win consistently. I have been playing on pokerstars for about 6-7 years now. I started with a 500$ deposit with a 100% first deposit bonus. i always loved playing tournaments and multi table SNGs. I always thought it was easier to crush the micro stakes with buyins up to 5$. But the problem was to hit a nice score there mostly were playerfields from 1000 up to 10000 players. Taking in mind that 75% just are noobs that go all in with every pair or ace they get. And mostly they got lucky.

I got lucky in some way and in 2 years I had my bankroll on about 15.000$ by hitting a couple nice scores. After that I started playing tournaments with buyins of 22 upto 109$. First advantage is that the fields became much smaller and instead of 75% noobs the fields contained better players. You should think that it would be more difficult to win but actually it became easier cause there were a lot less donkeys and real poker could be played.

So your statement is correct. You become better the more you play but also the game and your winning rate increase the higher limits you play. I noticed I was able to reach the money many more times than when I was playing the micro and low stakes.

I guess I have to agree with you, it's about mastering your skills so it will give you more win.
Poker is one of the best type of gambling since your skills is your friend and that would help you achieve a win, the more your skills are good the more your chances of losing is low. Also, sometimes if you are lucky, it will give you additional chance of winning, and there are really people who are lucky and good at the same time.

I do not think by playing longer, someone can be a better gambler. Gambling is always same for all of the people in my opinion. Experienced players lost the most even because they used to think themselves as best and that's why they lost.

That is a reality and not only in gambling but in all face of life.  The more you practice even in loses the more perfect you will become as those things are going to be part of you and your investments.  It is not only poker but also in trading, what put money in our pockets is our ability to develop what other are not ready to develop.

Right on there mate,the more practice we do the more experienced we become but if we can take the outcome seriously

Because if we don’t take the learnings from those experiences so being better will never take place

Poker is normally a friendly game so theres nothing to become greedy just play and take the learnings
