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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Well i wanted to know what poker is so i read all the comments here and i think poker is one interesting gambling game but its really hard i really hate gambling games with mind games i usually play with my luck and win some and lose some but really its not that im not knowledgegable but in poker you can't really bet small amount of cash but you have to bet big amount and i i would like to know much more about poker sir please teach me Cheesy
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.

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.

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

Poker is a game of skill.  It requires math, psychology, and money management skills.  To further add to the advantages of those skills a player can learn to be profitable player, poker players can also utilize a heads up display (HUD).  HUDs keep data bases of the players one plays and sets their statistics next to their names.  Those stats can be used to predict your opponents moves which is an invaluable skill to have at one's disposal.

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.

Wait, blackjack with 0 or -EV is more profitable than poker with possible +EV?

Roulette: Your chance to win on colour is 48,65% and your chance to win on numbers is 47,7%. The difference of 1,35% is not very less chance!

In the long run (200k++ hands), your knowledge and skill or lack thereof, will be more of a factor than random episodes of luck. Knowledge and skill, combined with proper bankroll management and tilt control will allow you to ride out and overcome extended periods of bad variance. I'm happy when fish less experienced players occasionally get lucky - either against me or especially against other players at my table because that's what keeps them in the game.

this is true, i played poker for a long time, and in the long run you are making something if you do the correct choice, but this is true only out of a tournament, in any tournament those rules have no place and only luck determine who will win
recently a google deep learning AI has beaten some players in poker, proving that poker is indeed a skill based game https://www.wired.com/2017/02/libratus/
