This is well written post.
Even though I could not read everything, i kind of understand the point you are trying to make.
Your tips on bluffing right in a poker game sounds reasonable.
I have seen people bluff during card games but I never knew it was a poker strategy

I guess you haven't been playing or seen someone playing poker in front of you.
Though bluffing is very useful in every kind of game it's not just in poker and as far as i remember they call it as self-deception.
Allowing yourself to believe a lie that looks real to the other people and that's how you do the bluffing strategy.
Using this kind of strategy in the same people everyday will not gonna work anymore unless you do randomly or not using the same technique in front of people who do know your strategy very well.

I'm not so sure if bluffing would work in a digital environment though. Because of course your opponents can't see you nor your cards. I suggest that if your shooting for playing poker in a gambling site online, you practice first on free poker games available on the internet, they're free, have acceptable AI difficulty that would allow you to right-fit your abilities for the real thing, and the best is that you don't need to spend real money on betting only to lose at the end, especially because it sounded like you still know little to nothing about the game. Playing against computers have helped me enhance my skills particular on the games I play like chess, solitaire, and poker. So give it a shot, it just might work.

Poker is one of the games that more on strategy

There is no myth to win poker . Yes , if you are an experienced player you can use your skills to perform better in player to player match. But again you need luck in poker too to get better cards than your opponent.
I do find poker to be more interesting only because of involvement of some skills while playing.

Poker is one of the games that's more on strategy although luck is a big part to win. Playing pokers helps you to boost your memory also it can help you to focus that's why many people are interested not only because to improve your memory but its really fun to played with. And when the player is enjoying the game abd used their strategy then it easy to them to take the risk and decide carefully.

Just keep in mind, play money experience =/= real money experience. With play money, you won't face the same emotions and gambling psychology entailed by having real money on the line. You'll also face much better players in real money games.

play money experience is equals to real money experience ? is that what you are tryin to say ?

The opposite. Play money experience does not equal real money experience. Success with play money will not necessarily carry over to real money games.

Quote from: imstillthebest on July 27, 2019, 03:14:59 AM

you confuse me but i agree on the last part of your sentence . playing with play money is not pressure and we can play properly becuase there is no way to loss but when it comes to playing with real money , our gameplay will change dramatically becuase there is a pressure of lossing .

Yes, there's the pressure of losing, which usually results in playing too nitty/tight. There's also the emotional effects of losing, which can send players on tilt.

I guess you should put the link to the article when you say your gonna share some in here,

http://www.casinocitytimes.com/article/top-10-poker-myths-66223

Always link a source if reposting non original content or it can land a person in trouble and lead to misunderstandings. Also the source is required to gauge the accuracy and bias to a piece but I totally agree with pre thinking your game stance before taking part so you are best ready. Nothing will prepare a person for actual higher stakes but it helps to at least know the game itself and then learn to handle your own reaction to losing or the threat of opposing players in a game, thats the higher level to develop in order to win.

I only play poker on my PC offline/online, nothing money involved yet as I am not into gambling too but more of leisure only, I know it will be different if you are face to face with your opponent/s. I think poker is a game of luck and concentration and might involve some emotions.

Can you share the name of the poker software you played? I guess that will help us and other people to learn about playing poker and we don't have to risk our money to learn. That will be a good way for us if we can master the poker game before we play using the money and I think we can learn deeper about the poker game. But yes, in the poker game, we will need the luck to win, and yes, I agree that we need to bluff to convince the other player that we have a good card, so they will think that they don't have a chance to win.

Well you can find many free poker games which does not involve gambling or money to play. You can search google for "offline free poker" and you will find many such sites like https://www.247freepoker.com/

Poker depends heavily on the player's mental abilities while on the table, The more games a player has, the more knowledge and experience will increase the chances of profit.

Poker games depends on the players and what he is dealt, so the player also hopes for luck in order to succeed.
A good player with a good combination would have a greater chance than a bad one with the same cards.

This is probably the worst description you can give about poker.

Too long to read OP, it's better if there is summarized and easy to understand.
Playing cards in poker is just like a mind game, you can also have skills of mind reader from other opponents in a table match.
Although poker is not totally based on luck game, still there's also need the luck to win.
For me, if you know how to assemble cards together with luck you are a better player.
Just like this, [The ranking of hands, from lowest to highest value]
-High card. ...
-One Pair. ...
-Two Pairs. ...
-Three of a Kind. ...
-Straight. ...
-Flush. ...
-Full House. ...
-Four of a Kind.

Went everyone sharing a tips/guide for gamble.

But from the article/other people method or strategy. Me: "Laugh-in hidden", Come on bruh if you want to share a strategy at least try by yourself first. You know a motivation right?

Poker is not a game of luck only.
You need to impact the other players on the table emotionally and let them confused on what would be your next move.
I think that it is mostly based on intelligence and emotional control rather than just luck.

I agree with this one, emotional will be always a problem with a gamble. I see some tournament poker, the player always wants to push other players emotional. Because how matter your card its "good" or "not" if they can push the player to make a "FOLD"/"Call" decision you are the winners.

Well, I think there is a lot of misconception about poker and gambling, That poker is a game of luck but even though you would need all the luck you can get you will still be needing a hefty lot of skill for you to pull a win, Practice makes perfect in the concept of this game you will be needing a lot of practice to be one of the pros.

And the house is not your enemy here because your real enemy is another gambler and some may don't call this gambling anymore because they call this skill games, You don't have to be a math genius to play it but having a mathematical brain will always come in handy,

I think there are a lot of things you will know when reading this article and you will surely see poker in a different perspective.

Nothing is gonna make you a better player in gambling. To be a big player it is must to learn on their own and keep on experimenting. Maybe you'll fail continuously but you'll learn some tactics out of the same. When it comes to poker however you practice online/offline without luck nothing gets turned to be a myth.

Luck is always been the main thing when it comes to gambling but somehow on poker this isnt the same when it comes on how to win up against other players.

Skills do vary and the ability to make decisions that would fit out on some situation specially when you do see that you are on advantage.Practice makes you more better
since these card games do require the ability to think up on how to handle your cards.

Skills in managing cards are the main thing in poker games, because of course we will always get random cards in each session. Where we have to be able to develop different strategies and adjust the cards we get. Poker is indeed a better game than other gambling games, I think this game is much fairer.

And about some of the myths stated above, there are actually still many people who believe it and apply it as one of their strategies. Sometimes the myths will have no effect on players who already have quite good experience in poker, maybe here the OP has a pretty good experience so he really understands the poker myths.

Flying Hellfish is a Commie

People also have to focus on their bankroll. That's a VERY large part of Poker. You may lose a crazy amount of hands even with the best cards, and that's alright - it happens. But at the end of the day if you're able to manage your bankroll properly -- which pretty much means knowing that your poker balance is an investment. Don't get emotional, because sometimes you are going to lose but that's alright.

PICK GAMES CAREFULLY - If you have $10 don't go into $1/2 blind hands. You're going to lose all of your bankrolls very shortly. Start small with what you have. It's an investment after all.

Awesome guide.I hope that more poker players will read it and try to understand the true meaning of those myths..
I agree 100% with the "poker is all about winning pots" type of myth.Poker players,who lack patience always lose,when they are guided by this wrong mentality.
This reminds me of some tips that I was reading in a poker ebook,while I was active at playing online poker 3 years ago.

@YuginKadoya doesn't refer that you are connected to the article just mentioned above instead he just shares it along here for others to view it. Seems it is just a misunderstanding, @YuginKadoya might think that you have cited this topic from an external article because at the beginning of your post you said you wanna share an article, that's it.

Skilled players focus on winning the most money — saving an extra bet by not making a bad call here, and gaining an extra bet by making a value raise there. And for them, at the end of the session, all those little extra bits of earned money usually adds up to a net win for the day.

I only play poker on my PC offline/online, nothing money involved yet as I am not into gambling too but more of leisure only, I know it will be different if you are face to face with your opponent/s. I think poker is a game of luck and concentration and might involve some emotions.

Thanks for clearing me out here buddy! And just like you said I am just sharing my own thoughts of a list of the myth's in poker and giving some links that I have read, And I guess some myth about poker was kinda helpful for some players and some are for clearing out some myth about poker,

And for OP clearly, I haven't say anything that linking yours and my article to be the same and connected I am just sharing some myself and that you should put the link as well on where the article you have got your idea Because I guess that this stuff is a good read, That poker is a skill-based game more than a luck base one.
