Not necessarily. I know players that are equally good at live and online poker. I believe that being good in one can also give a measure of experience when playing the other.
Let me be honest, I'm guilty of this. After a series of losses, I usually get tempted to play bigger buy-ins so I could recover. In most instances it doesn't end well.
Safe to say I learned the hard way.
I believe that pokers who go pro aren't amateurs. These ones do stakes that would make me start sweating even in cold weather. I believe there are measures in place as to how these ones declare their income.
I don't go for bigger buy-ins whenever I win big. That's how greediness start for me, and before I know it I am already going above my limit. I usually stick to the same plan.
I always stick to the same stakes as long as it is within my bankroll. Though a few times I have gotten greedy and went above my bankroll, and 90 percent of the time I regretted it.
Back when responsibilities were still few, I used to play poker almost every day. After work, guess where I would be running to? Yeah. Not anymore though, I miss those days
I only go to standard casinos, so the event of a cheater turning up their is pretty low. I haven't personally came across one, or should I say I have not caught one? 🤔
I believe anything that involves placing bets has to do with luck. Of course skills is required, but even then winning is not always assured. I'd say poker is about 80% luck.
I remember first learning about it when I went to spend holiday with a cousin of mine. He was going out to play and I followed him, observed how the game was played and developed interest. My cousin taught me some basics, but when I left his place I turned to the internet for more knowledge.
I usually act nonchalant whenever I'm playing poker. I don't show any mood changes, that way opponents won't be able to discern what I'm thinking.
Always keep them wondering! 🤣
