I created my new strategy and that is to stay away from cash games and play only poker freeroll tournaments because when in freeroll get so many luck I come to cash games and some idiot get last 2 hands with dumb cards and he win my money.
avoid cash games means you starting the game for free only and actually i have been a part of free roll tournament several times ago and most of them only playing safe with only dare to call if they had good card but it's hard to be the champion of free tournaments of poker because most of the participant also had their own strategy

I really think players should take advantage from the free rolls, and start making their bankroll from scratch like that, but they need to step up eventually. It's very hard to play in freerolls or low stakes. Players have nothing to lose, and yes you can beat them in the long term, but the problem is that you can't beat them all.

In low stakes and freerolls it's easy to see players going all in all the time, and since they are many doing it, you will lose eventually. Since it's free, most of the players will continue playing like that, meaning that you will have a hard time progressing and testing your strategy, and you will need more luck than you should. So after building some bankroll, you should always try to go up in the stakes, in order to be able to play vs serious opponents.

Each time separate strategy is required to make a winning. So poker is mostly luck based. There are sites that provide cash free access to poker and in those most of the gamblers win and then moves to play with money where loss accompanies the player.
The poker game depends on your cards if you get good cards then you can win with your skills, but if you get bad cards, then you should play carefully with your strategies. Yes, the same strategy will not repeat every time because the same cards we will not get every time. So this game needs your skills to win, but sometimes your luck will help you to win your game. How means suppose if you are playing with a dumb player and you got bad cards means you have a chance to win your game.

I play very passive and wait for good cards to came. That tactic didn`t give me any great winnings but also didn`t lost any money. It is some closed circle. I also know that have to learn a lot about poker as a game, not basic rules but situations that have to play right: Right bets,re-raise,button position,small blind position, not letting your stake be under 20-30 big blinds etc.. Those are most important things in poker... 
I think the poker game still be depends in the card you receive and what are the cards releases.
Luck are still needed its not all about strategy in poker.. you just need to luck in order to win in poker.. If you aren't lucky you will lose..
I am not pro in poker but base in my experience its more on luck because the cards is randomly given except if the card dealer is fraudulent,
And sometimes facial expressions of the face can help also but someone can faking their own face because they know there are someone are relaying on the face of every opponents..

Totally agree with you. Luck is still needed for wining tournament/s(I don`t play cash game). You can be strong in cards but when you are all in it`s a coin flip situation. Things I mention are there to improve and help poker player game. I usually play online so facial expression is irrelevant in that case but style of opponents on the table you can always recognize.

I love playing poker and I mught say that I consider myself a good player. I usualy have my own strategy which is mainly to play very agressive.

So, what are your main strategy when playing Poker?

I also like an aggressive and loose play, because it makes much harder for my opponents to read my hand. Of course it's a very hard way to play, and sometimes it gets me in trouble, but it also gets more fun this way. If I was a professional poker player I would be like Gus Hansen lol, but it's very hard to play like him xD
I usually play cautiously most of the time, never going in with weak hand and once a while I go crazy and aggressive with a weak hand. This usually works at first because after you were so quietly folding they think you got to have something now, and you have the biggest crap Cheesy On the other hand when I have a good hand I hope someone else will raise first so that I can follow and get them to put more money on the table. I guess these are typical moves, many people play like that.

Yes it's true. I think the most important thing in poker is to vary your style of play. If you play tight, you can pull off a bluff from time to time, if you play lose, you can get a lot of money from your big hands. So yes, everything may work well, if you make a good reading and play with your image a bit.

yeah the key is to be  unpredictable and to be observant of your opponent's smallest moves. this is what makes poker a great game. it plays with different aspects and not just luck. it's fun to watch pro poker matches where you can even see players wearing masks to hide their emotions

Correct, when I started to play porker, I was very predictable. My opponent know if I'm just bluffing or not. So I can the way I play it. It was just an amateur table I played it locally but there was a lot of players.  I played there every week in my height of my addiction. Sometimes I played very loud and talking with a lot of my opponents in the table to throw them off. But there was time I just keep quiet and totally focus on the game. I also learn how to read some of them, even caught them bluffing.  So its very important to be unpredictable indeed and it can work for you if you know how to used it.
I think it's natural, the first time playing poker certainly all would be easy on the guess because we do not have experience and it will disappear with the passage of time. I also like it as if they know my cards.

I just play poker online so I don't really understand the enemy's reaction and if I get a less good card I choose to "fold" play safe. I don't have any much strategy I just play if have a card that I think is good (two pair).
Enemy? You are playing poker, not going to a war  Grin
To be honest if you keep playing safe opponent will read you when you raise. You have to bluff sometimes, try to steal blinds, always playing safe isn't really a good strategy.

So, what are your main strategy when playing Poker?

It’s been said that poker is easy to learn but hard to master. Many players make the mistake of judging their poker playing ability based on the results of each session. Your goal should be to make the best possible play every time. The closer you come to this, the better your results will be. My best strategy when playing poker is avoiding tilt, because i know my opponents will use this to read my emotions. Emotional play results in poor decisions and lost money. Tilting and steaming can happen to anyone, and sometimes the only cure is a break from the game.
This is true, poker can really be easy to learn actually but its really to master because there are some things you need to master too which is essential and useful while you are playing poker. This is the main problem which i do experience when i was still a newbie. Being emotional while you are playing can really be used against you which your opponent would really use that weakness which causes for you to make stupid decisions on your cards.

I think that more than being aggressive or not is important the psicology: you have to study the other players and is always better change way of playing during the match.

However, Do you know if there is any good blokchain based platform for playng poker?

actually i never had any strategic when i'm playing a poker but if i have a good card i will play with aggressive

This is where the money come from! For us Cheesy

Before a month ago AI beat for the second time all the top poker pros.
And my friends was divided in two about it: First was, ohhh poker is dead, everybody will game a bot and there will be a mass cheating. The second group was - ooo, a bots are constantly beating the top pros? This mean we still have a lot of space for development and improvement.
I agree with the second one. This only proves that poker is not luck, it's 90% strategy and prediction. I dare someone to argue that the bot was lucky in all its games against those pros Wink
I always believed that bluffing and intimidating can work wonders in poker, but looks like it doesn't. Cold calculation is what counts.


Definitely bluffing and intimidating won't work on bot but it does work on people!  It depends on how good you bluff or intimidate people.  We know seasoned poker player are hard to shake but they can be shaken.  Cold calculation is anti bluff, since you disregard all emotion and not thinking of the oponents gesture.  But this cold calculation have flaw on its own.

In my opinion, psychology is the key to win in poker. I usually try to see my enemies' eye/body reactions and etc. I also love to bluff, just gotta know when to as it's risky asf.

Lol this one's one of my strategy too. At the first round of betting just go all in lol, but it would be very unfortunate if someone go all in also. But if there were none you got the small and the big bet. Although its a little amount but still you win. But to be a better poker player you should know the combos of the cards for you to win higher amount of money.
At the first round go all in? You sound like very good poker player  Grin
What when everyone folds, would you go all in again? And again until someone get high pair and go all in with you? It is what we call "bingo players" not poker players.
Also if you are playing online poker you can't read emotions or body language.

Yes it's true, looking at your opponents is the only strategy that you could do when you are playing poker because seeing your enemies movements, you will see if their cards has a chance to win or not. And some players are pretending that there card is very great, so there opponents began to fold or they are bluffing.

Definitely here who plays in Poker should have at least some kind of strategy, but if you look at the very essence of this activity, then there's nothing to do without luck. Because there are two options here, either the person plays and wins always, or the person always plays and wins from time to time, which means that the total amount of the loss is much greater than the winnings.

In real life poker, as much as possible dont move a muscle after checking your card as your opponent is reading your body language, everymove you make is being interpreted and compared with your last move ,however in online poker game, good luck in trying to read your opponents move because you cant, what you see is what you get.
i wonder how those real poker players got this instinct inside how they ever really assess whats the meaning of certain gestures, we really can
say how perfect it is but chances of being caught with certain movements and interpret it in the right manner is really amazing.

Lol, that's not instinct!
That's months and months if not years of training and experience, nothing else.

Moreover, tournament of pokers last entire days, it's not just a one hour game like we know. So it means you have loooooooooooooooots of time to keep observing your opponents. Every hand they play you have to analyse their behaviour, save somewhere in your mind what they're doing, how they're playing, why, what they want...
It's a full time job xD
Of course, but what if an AI is winning against you? How important is observing opponent's moves compared to counting cards?
An Ai doesn't read your moves or trying to feel your style, it just counts cards and calculates probability.
