I definitely can't. I know the rules and how to play but I'm just bad at playing it. When I play with friends (just for fun, not using real money) I usually am the one with more luck, but I still end up losing Grin

What?

You can be lucky but lose money i guess he means, as in you get good cards but dont get paid off. A good poker players gets the maximum value out of good cards and the minimim losses out of the bad cards.

I like to play poker for fun and to increase my skill, mostly i took part into free-roll tournaments and at the moment there are some best casinos offering there to learn poker and increase your skill without any risk, still i have no luck with poker all time i got busted in the end.

Took a part in freeroll tournament also will help get some free money from winning in each tournament if you were in number payment position.

yup, it is ok even if you never win cause you will still get to enjoy the free game and can even learn from others how they play.

Honestly speaking if you are playing against the live players online or offline you can use your skill and strategy and win games but playing against the house or casino then 99% you will be in loss, i play with live players in fortunejack and i am in profit.

One of the most exciting games in casino is the poker game, because when you play poker no matter how bad you card is, you still can win your bet with a strategy, so making profit with poker is not fairy tale, but you need to be patience and read your opponent strategy

Yes this is true but you might not realise but in casino poker every hand the cards are reshuffled. So you can't "count cards" and also you can't see your other opponents because they are halfway around the world or you are playing against a computer so you can't bluff.

I doubt the percentage you give is anything near real number unless there's a source that I'm missing. I've lost most of my money when I used to gamble in real life with playing poker games. It's the hardest IMO and requires to have some sort of luck as well plus the whole playing style of players in terms of confidence and the way their face look has a saying on our decisions as well, in which most of the time are misleading.

It is possible would just need more research. You cant judge the % based on your own personal results. If you are "gambling" when playing poker you are mostly approaching the game wrong. Pick weaker opponents and play them for as long as possible = you win.

Playing poker is not easy games to make your bankroll profitable and also manage it. That's way you must playing smart than the other players in the table. But It depends again with the cards that you hold, So playing poker not only rely on skill but your lucky too.

yeah true that poker is not always rely on the skills, because if you do not have much luck maybe you will get bad card.
so luck is needed for all games

i like playing poker but i have never thought of it as a money making method even if it is possible and others can do it. i will never consider gambling in general as a good way of making money, it is just to risky to bet and invest in gambling.

That is very true. In gambling mostly no one can win money on regular basis. So instead of gambling for making money, just play for fun and entertainment without worrying whether you can win or not then surely you can enjoy the fun part of gambling. I never played this poker but sometimes I will bet in cricket games and so for in profits. But I usually choose most confirmed games and will not worry much on odds.

yeah, although i want to add that i think if there is a gambling game out there that anybody can make money from, that would be poker. because it requires a lot of skills and manipulation of the opponents and it is not just based on luck like other games.

Poker is too much of a game of reading other people for me to do well at. I don't have that gift/talent. I would stick with games that are just based on numbers and odds.

For cash games:

Sit and play at tables where the players are not as good as you are at poker.

Don't sit and play at tables where the players are better than you.

You're welcome.

How to know, where the players are better than you?
If playing poker its depends on luck too, because good card does not always win.

Quote from: Oralmat on May 07, 2016, 12:30:13 AM

How can we know if the players at a particular tables are experienced or not. The better option will be to first become experienced and then play save by making save moves

Quote from: Karpeles on May 07, 2016, 08:19:04 AM

What about tables where players pretend to play worse than you at first to make you bet big, then take everything from you?

It is a common scam

Data mining and software will show you if they are good or not. Data mining sites will show you their winnings/losings - i dont know what is available in bitcoin poker as regards these tools.

True. And there does happen to be one betcoin poker site which is supported by the two main poker tracking software companies. (Hint: see my sig below. Wink
