At least it’s not problem gambling like slots if someone’s solid with number crunching, running simulators, and memorizing proper charts. Watching shit like OP can be labeled as a waste of time if you’re not learning from their potential mistakes.
It appeals to aspie types who like numbers and odds (w/the chance to gain money in the process), or degen normies who like the psychological/social aspect if live.
Do you play at those stakes against those players?
Do you have any interesting stories of Poker? Any techniques you have used to succeed?
The most reliable strategy that I found when I used to play a lot, is simply to fold a lot and be very VERY patient. Over time you will go up. So what if you have a dry spell of 5-7hrs and are up only $30. In the long run I found this strategy to be the most reliable for making money.
Thank you for the advice, namely on patience. This will be useful if I ever play it in real life. Poker is a good interest because of the strategy involved and how you can actually come out on top if you develop good enough skills.
Nah, but the point I was trying to make is that poker is a skill game in the longterm. The sharks in regulated events got lucky with genetics when it comes to mental power, self-control, willpower to study a ton, etc. Playing there without those qualities is financial suicide. It’s best to just leave it as a hobby for most gamblers since the effort to excel in poker is much harder than it was circa 2005.
NIT moment, literally the most predictable player ever.
dont fucking do that shit jfl, you will get chewed in cash games.
Poker is a waste of time. It's a great mental exercise to learn the mathematics, but the time and energy investment is not worth the return.
Ngl, the effort required to make serious money there would be better spent working in other fields. Many other avenues in life take less effort for more money and less tilt.
