I'm not into poker honestly, so I don't study it at all. But I respect that you're actively trying to improve your game even if it's just through playing and picking up tips here and there. Sounds like a practical approach.. learning while doing rather than spending hours on theory that might...
Good players watch for betting patterns first - does someone always bet big with strong hands or do they mix it up? Physical tells in live games matter too - shaky hands, how they handle chips, sudden changes in posture or breathing. Timing tells are huge online - quick calls usually mean draws...
Look for tables with loose, passive players . they're your money makers. Avoid tables full of tight aggressive regulars unless you're really confident. Pay attention to stack sizes and who's playing a lot of hands. Once you're seated, spend the first few orbits just observing everyone's...
Definitely not just IQ. I've seen really smart people lose consistently because they can't control their emotions or read other players. Poker's way more about emotional discipline, patience, and understanding human behavior than raw intelligence. You need to manage your bankroll, handle losing...
I don't really follow poker quotes that closely but I've heard some good ones over the years.
“As long as you've got 'a chip and a chair', there's still hope”
I realized poker wasn't for me pretty early on when I understood how much mental discipline and emotional control it requires. The thought of dealing with huge swings, losing streaks, and the constant pressure of needing to win just to pay bills sounds incredibly stressful.
I don't hide anything because I never actually gamble honestly. It's just not something I've gotten into so there's no need for secrecy. I totally get what you mean though a lot of families see gambling as this terrible thing and parents freak out about it.
I haven't played poker at actual tables to be honest. I've watched some games and tournaments on TV, and those moments look absolutely wild like when someone goes all-in with a bluff or pulls off an insane comeback. I can only imagine the adrenaline and tension in those situations.
Bringing back the poker boom would probably require a combination of strategic approaches and fresh ideas to capture the attention of a new generation. First, we'd need more accessible and user-friendly online platforms that make it easy for anyone to jump in and start playing without feeling...
Have you ever caught someone cheating during a poker game,and how did you handle that situation?
I'm talking about card marking, collusion with another player, or sneaking chips - anything shady. Did you call them out right there at the table, or handle it quietly afterward? And was it in a...
What's the most money you've ever won or lost in a single poker session and did it change how you approach the game?
Like, did a big win make you more reckless thinking you're on a hot streak, or did a massive loss teach you to be more careful with bankroll management? I'm curious if those...
I think yes,losing days can mess with someone’s confidence. It’s natural to feel frustrated or doubt yourself after a streak of losses. But I also think it depends on the person. if you stay focused and learn from mistakes it doesn’t have to affect your long-term confidence too much.
Yes,I think poker can help with habits like aggression. The game teaches patience, self-control, and thinking before acting. You have to stay calm and make careful decisions, even under pressure.
Yes a poker dealer can make mistakes sometimes, like misdealing cards or accidentally revealing a hand. It’s usually unintentional, and most casinos have rules to fix errors.
In poker, the unbeatable hand is a royal flush. It’s the ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of the same suit. It’s extremely rare but if you ever get it, no other hand can beat it.
I totally agree. Poker really demands strong mental focus and self-control. It’s not just about luck the way you manage your thoughts, emotions, and decisions makes a huge difference. Even if you don’t win every hand, staying calm and thinking strategically usually takes you much further than...
I usually don’t play poker much,so I don’t really have a favorite type. I’ve tried a few casual games but I mostly watch or learn from others. If I played more often I might have a preference,but for now, I just enjoy it occasionally without sticking to one style.
I think poker and trading forex are hard in different ways. Both need focus and skill,but I’d say trading can be more stressful because money moves so fast.
