Of course poker is a game of skill, because you can win with bad cards too, why? Because you can make a bluff, and take all wines,) of course you can win via bluff when your partner in the game is without skills

This is biggest problem in online poker, you don't know who are you playing against. When you join full table, you don't know are you playing against, one player with multi accounts or you are playing against well organized group of players. That's why i like to play big tournaments with lots of players in them, its less likely someone will trick you.

You can cheat many games though which are -ev and win.  Counting cards or match fixing, Its a whole different bracket.  Look at the guy who took primedice for 2k BTC was it?

Check www.sharkscope.com for player statistics, they have huge database for lots of poker sites, and it's one way to see whether player is experienced or not. If you are newbie in poker as you say, i recommend that you check this site also: https://www.pokerstrategy.com, they have useful information and tutorials how to play poker with strategies and all kind of things for new players. Every site has freeroll tournaments so you can play poker for free every day without losing money.

Interesting concept, first time I saw and try that on 888, but they don`t accept bitcoins, and for registration there you need to send them picture of ID, credit card, both documents from front and back.


I have experience in poker generally, and there is tournaments on betcoin.ag, and you can play cash table 1 vs 1, what ever you like more. 1 vs 1 is not so easy to play, there is a lot lying, and pushing. 1 vs 1 is similar with end of the tournament, where blinds are high and there is someone who rise all in almost every hand. No matter how experienced player you are, or skilled, in this moments you wait for strong hand ( pair of aces or ace and king) but there is always someone who call with pair of fours and he got one on the flop. I think its very hard to win tournament just with skill.


I didn`t create new endless discussion, someone else did that long time ago. And here no one pay attention on text. Even you ignored my words and started to wrote you opinion about it. People like to wrote here what is easier for them to make some money from campaign.

How come nobody answers my questions but everyone talks about other things.

Is anyone here actually play poker? Tonight at betcoin.ag is nice 250 GTD THANK YOU tournament for people with tickets, will anyone from here be there?

PS: Scam accusation is cause of slots, and some jackpots. I don`t wish to talk about it here, lets talk about poker. Not about is it skill or luck based game, about poker. Can you people understand that?

Is there any way we can know whether a player is experienced or not in online poker games? If I'm not wrong, we will come to know only when we play the game right? If this question answer is yes then I can say we need some luck to win this game. Otherwise, we may lose money here as well. I don't have knowledge about this game.

Exactly, we play poker against weak players= we have +EV. It is the important way to make money if we choose correct gambling games, aka poker. I like poker because it is the game which has no house edge, we jist need to pay rake to the house, it is better than house edge casino games

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.

At luck games with -EV, you can not win longtherm. Always when you play with -EV, it was luck if you won after a larger number of bets.

If you are a good poker player, you can win longtherm = play with +EV and therefore Poker is definetely a skill game and this totally independent of contradictory court decisions.

If you like to play at betcoin.ag, you would also like to play on skins at the Winning Poker Network (WPN), with an unlike larger cash game and Sit&Go traffic. You will have also the same tournament selection, as betcoin.ag joins the WPN tournaments thru the Winning Tournament Network (WTN).
