What did you mean by you lose to house? I guess Poker is played on a board with some other players. I haven’t seen poker playing with the house/dealer? I can't remember. Nevertheless, I have some doubts with the players though; I have lost few hands which was worst IMO though sometimes it happens. I mean it was hard to believe that I got unlucky in that few hands & for a moment it all looked like I lost to the dealer LOL.
^ Yeah, there is.
There are poker casinos that you can play the house, all you have to do is beat the dealer and there is no opponent that you can play.
The same concept of playing with poker that has a real player but you and the house were there and there is no other opponent. Nevertheless, I really like this game because the chances of winning were always there, but beating against the house is a very risky part, you don't know how to bluff a house and I think,
fighting against the house is pure of luck and not about the skills. To be honest, although I'm a big fan of pvp poker, I've never played against the dealer. But from what I saw on YouTube, I think you are right, this game is purely based on luck. It's not that I totally dismiss purely luck based games, no. I love to play slots, dice, crash and other games of this kind, I'm just not attracted to purely luck based poker, that's all.
Btw, I didn't think OP was talking about playing against dealer. I thought he meant that he was winning against other players, but his winnings were somehow eaten by the house in the end.
