    Do you think poker is more of a men's game?

    I don't think the gender thing means much these days. That's just a throwback to the USA 1950s and all the images of Frank Sinatra or something, lol. Anyway, though, I am just speaking from an American perspective. I don't know about other nations.

    When was your first experience in poker?

    I was living in Saipan, a pacific island, in the 2000s. There were many poker rooms there and also a casino on a nearby island. I got into a little gambling there because that was part of the culture.

    How popular will poker become in the next 10 years?

    The world is getting into a lot of robot technology, so there will be more lost jobs I think, and, in that case, I see people getting desperate, turning to other ways to make money. It's actually sad, really. Gambling is supposed to be for fun, not desperation.

    How to Get Out When Your Winning Are Too Much

    The house is supposed to always win. They don't like it when people just keep winning over and over. In fact, they do everything in their power to stop it. They employ technology, experts, you name it. Anyway, what about the situation when you've won a lot, so casinos are suspicious, like we...

    What do you enjoy about poker the most?

    I like the skill involved in video poker. It can be a lot of fun and there's nothing like the thrill of getting that Royal Flush. Has anyone experienced that? Who has experienced that when they put a large bet on the table, lol?

    Can You Make a Living Playing Online Poker?

    I agree the bankroll is very important. However, it can't be all that is needed or, otherwise, the gambling businesses would get trashed by all the pro-players. Do you all agree? Why do you feel that is the case or not?

    Is poker a game of skill or luck?

    Actually, I think even more games than poker are a mix of skill and luck. For instance, I think probability is involved to some degree in hitting a 3-pointer in basketball etc. Anyway, (regarding sports and games) you can't have one without the other, so, of course, skill plays a big role.

    The Movie 21 and Poker

    Yeah, I wasn't paying attention to what game they were playing. I was just noting it was some sort of Las Vegas card game. Anyway, I know nothing of blackjack at all. What is one major difference between it and poker?

    Do you enjoy poker or only play for the money?

    Yeah, I really can't stand people who gamble away money that is for family use; that is really despicable. It's good you have the right priorities. Anyway, gambling addiction definitely eats away at money better spent elsewhere.

    The Movie 21 and Poker

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_(2008_film) The movie 21 was a lot of fun, in my opinion. I really enjoyed it, and I wondered how these math whizzes could possibly overturn the house. Anyway, there have been real life stories of this happening. Who has heard of them?

    How do you feel about players talking trash while playing poker?

    It's good to have fun, but in serious games, like at Las Vegas, it might be a bad idea. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if there were rules against it. Anyway, the atmosphere at Las Vegas, for instance, is very paranoid. There are cameras everywhere and experts employed to make sure nobody...

    Should poker be considered a sport?

    It's as much a sport as chess, so I don't see why it wouldn't be. However, though, gambling has a bad rep, associated with a low-life culture, no offense to anyone, so it could be uphill battle for acceptance. Anyway, jazz music was once associated with low-life culture, but now it's...

    Do you feel video poker machines are incorrupt?

    In the political world, many people are cynical about voting machines, so why wouldn't video poker machines be up for scrutiny? In fact, why wouldn't all gambling machines, like slots, be up for scrutiny? Anyway, who knows anything about how these machines work? Would you trust your money...

    People Against Video Poker Rooms Being Legal

    Some people obviously don't like gambling. They might claim that the gambling phenomenon is just targeting impoverished communities like remote Pacific islands (where I was) or Native American reservations. Anyway, there are pros and cons to the argument. Do you feel strongly about this in...

    Do you enjoy poker or only play for the money?

    I would never gamble at this point in my life. However, playing for fun is a possibility and if I can't find people willing to do that (and probably I wouldn't lol), I would just get a computer or video game. Note: my reasoning for my answer is that I'm having a rough time with finances. I...

    Poker as it Relates to Probability and/or Statistics

    Who has studied probability and/or statistics? Have you been able to relate it to playing poker? Myself, I am certified to tutor many math subjects, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten a probability or a statistics certificate yet. It's something I would want in the near future.

    Who has tried video poker?

    Honestly, I haven't played real poker, only video poker. However, at one time, I knew a lot about it, but knowing a lot about it doesn't mean I was winning, lol. Anyway, who has tried video poker and where? What were your results? Do you have any big wins or near-wins to mention?
