[What IF] Part 5

[Betwrong]

Hello and what's up fellow users/gamblers!
I hope you had a great weekend!
Another week has come, so let's start all over again.

what if you suddenly see a fellow gambler that has been winning continuously (example Poker)  and it seems like he's unbeatable on that game, would you care to join him so you could also be winning? Or would you like to beat the guy on his game?

We certainly can't deny the fact that we gamblers can be easily influenced by these kind of scenarios.

 I participated in hundreds of online poker tournaments and played, probably, thousands cash games. Also, I've watched tons of poker related videos on YouTube, presented by FuryTV, PokerStars and such. And, from my experience, there is no such thing as unbeatable poker player. And it's not just because "we all make mistakes" kind of thing. From my point of view, good poker players lose big sometimes not because of their "mistakes", but because of bad luck.

So, I'd rather try my luck on my own instead of shifting responsibility for the possible loss on someone else.

[lienfaye]

If he's really good in poker then I wont dare to beat or join him since he's lucky (or just skillful) in poker.

I only gamble to have fun and knowing how lucky he is I can already sense what might happen if ever I try to play and I cant afford to lose to someone im aware that is good in poker.

I'd rather watch him and observe his strategy so I can apply it when its my turn.

[andycarrol]

Play with him. As someone who considers gambling as fun and as an entertainment, playing with someone lucky could prove enjoyable. It's like how good players look for other good players as well, instead of looking for those weaker ones. Plus, only those who consider gambling as a way to earn profit would bother finding weaker opponents or unlucky ones.
On the case of gambling though, it's more dependent on luck if you could find a good opponent.

I would think realistically if this was about money, I would join him to get lots of money. but if for fun, it will be pride when we can beat him. because poker is a strategy game so of course I will join him, and learn his strategy to be able to continue to win it.

but what OP says (for Example) so this stands for all games as well.or maybe OP is just comparing the card games in Our Local version of Poker as Pusoy ,and in this game we compete with others and if you are lucky you can win continuously as i have experienced the same wayback.

I am not sure how joining him could help me win in poker but if he was successful at betting on sports for example I would join him out of curiosity to see what kind of picks he bets on, what information he relies on when choosing a bet, odds etc. 

thats one good game to use as example,to win continuously and if he is lucky then might consider betting with him lol.

Yes it is, not just card games.

I would think realistically if this was about money, I would join him to get lots of money...

Well as long as you don't blame him for losing when the time you make a bet LoL. There are still chances here that he may end up losing his luck after someone has finally approach them with bets. Still, who knows maybe you can get lots of money out of his efforts so its really a 50-50.

[Oasisman]

I am not sure how joining him could help me win in poker  

I was thinking the same, but after a while I came up to an idea about what he meant on "joining him", is to put a percentage on his bet for you to have a share of profit everytime he wins.
I was also thinking about the scenario, anyone on a winning streak won't bother to let you put a passive bet on his game (Poker), not unless if the person is closely related to you. So, the only option left for me to choose is to step up to the challenge and beat the guy at his best game.

[rand1919]

You need to want more always, so in that case, want to beat him. You will improve that way, look up to someone who is better then you.

wise decision lol,anyway we are in gambling to have fun and make money so if thats the case we need to choose between the two,if we want to enjoy or we want to win.

obviously the answer us to win 

whatever it takes whats important at this time is the profit?wasn't that?lol

fellow gambler ? that means you know that guy ( ex. he is your friend ) , if it is then yes ii would like to join him and i also like to cheer him if ever i dont have a funds to gamble but if he is only a particular gambler and i still dont know him then i wont join him but i think i will try to compete with him so that i can take over his throne  . poker is more of a skill right ? so i can also educate myself to play better and to defeat someone else  or to play only for the sake of winning

"That much gathers more .... and that loss leads to greater loss"

I believe in this, so if a fellow gambler is already winning, why try to break his streak? Join him and win with him. When his streaks start to slow down, then that is the time you jump ship and bet against him.

On every game, there would really be a particular pro into each field so as a player we do really have that kind of same target on which we do want to defeat to those opponents which is better than us to make ourselves somewhat proud as a player.I cant deny that being too good compared to others does boost up some pride and you are proud of yourself.
If you do see a person which is good then jealousy is there which is normal but actually majority would see this as a challenge. I wouldn't join to those who are better than me.

Most probably i’ll got jealous and pray that I won continuously as well especially on poker. You can’t join that guy not unless you know him personally or else he will just think that you’re a scam. Gamblers can be more motivated if they saw someone wins a lot of money, that’s a common mindset of people they play with a positive mindset to win more.

[Reatim]

is this serious?we already in Part 5?i have been here since the beginning lol,happy to see it running still,you have a very broad imagination @cabalism13 lol

Yeah mate, we're already on week 5 LoL. This is something like a campaign of what if so it can be longer than the others 🤣 me and my crazy ideas.

will we surpass the longest thread ever?the Wall Observer if all the "What If" thread combined together?we and your Crazy Ideas?hahaha

No I won't join or try to win based on this scenario because my luck doesn't depend on anyone or at least which I believe.Yes this could influence us to play more but I really been in this situation few times but got more loss than what I won,so its clearly not working for me after few tries.

from what is written in OP has two choices mate,its Either you play with the lucky one or Play against him,so which one have you tried and fail?sorry but i think i have missed something?of its your post is not relevant at all?

Poker is in a big percent skill-based, that's why you see some people constantly winning at Poker. Talent and learning strategies & risk management principles are a must in Poker pretty much like in trading. If I would be skilled and confident on me at that specific game I would certainly join the table as I usually don't back up from any challenges.

[AicecreaME]

The natural response of most people would be joining him, there is this saying that goes "if you can't beat them (gambling sites), join them (the player you were saying)" but of course I bet that most of them are going to quit early because of their wrong prediction, humans tend to think that they could do what others do and excel at it like them but no, it doesn't work always.

We have our own door where if we enter, we are going to find the place where we really belong, where we are going to excel and earn huge plenty of profits just like others.

because poker is skill-based I will join him because winning in a row means that he has a good strategy, it's like a free money
whereas if based on luck, it's better to fight him because there's no someone in a row will get luck all the time.

Luck has still something to do with poker player even though it is a skill based game. The luck that I've been talking about is the sequence of the cards. Although the only way that a professional player will lose if they were being deceive by their opponent when bluffing. So that means the luck is on his side.

I'd rather join with him he's too lucky but not in the poket because that's against with him. If I have to defeat one lucky gambler, I might have to look at the person first before trying to join because I know that somehow I still have chance to win.

when your opponent bluffing this is your strategy to play, whether you will be carried away by your opponent, or you fold, or you can also follow until 3 cards are opened, then you can determine. About luck in poker is when you have a good card then you ALL in and this is where the luck happens.

But how can you determine if your opponent is bluffing, it will be hard.
Unless you have a good card in your hand to fight even if he is bluffing.
Waiting for the flop to determine the next action will be the best trick to see and measure your chances of winning.

oh your now on part 5 of your what if's questions op  hehe nice to see that . in this new question of yours i think my answer will be no .  im not gona ever try to play against him because i can see that he is winning alot of times which means he is a pro poker player but im not a pro on playing poker  . my losses are more than what i won   . i think i will only compete against other noob poker players  . i like to test my skills on them and i think that is going to be exciting  .
