No, its just gambling games played for 90% addicts like roullete or any cassino game, and 5% for fun with friends like dominoes and about 5% for people that really can profit in it.

I can only recommend Mike Matusow's vlog. If he was a bit younger Mike would be 100 % on Yea Forums

I would say yes. It's as much a sport as Chess.

I have some questions for Poker hepcats!

People say Americans overvalue Aces. What do they mean by this?

Is it true Russians suck at Poker mostly because they don't pick and choose bluffs correctly?

Why are so many Europeans now dominate in Poker? What is it specifically about European style of play that leads to so much success?

neither are sports fuck off

fun fact: Matusow staked Scotty Nguyen when he won the Main Event.

How do i get good?

>Nguyen's Main Event triumph in 1998 was followed immediately by tragedy—the very next day, one of his brothers was hit by a car back home in Vietnam, and killed.[4] For this reason, Scotty does not wear his 1998 WSOP championship bracelet.

I play Auto Chess, the thinking mans poker

He was also a boat refugee and when they were on the boat his brother died on the boat.

It was in like 2003

Probably by playing it all the goddamn time

Read Dan Harrington on cash games

it's something between sport and gambling. Because there is importance of randomness here but in the long road, randomness loses importance and we see the same faces for 20 years.

Isn't it dying now?
The level is homogenpus now it seems and only luck decides who wins

Just playing doesn't help. One needs to analyze the session afterwards. I would say a 50-50 tie split in the beginning sounds reasonable

To get the basics maybe. But the game has evolved a lot.

he's literally the peak performance meme

The game has evolved a lot, and I'm also probably dogshit, but when I play 2/5 in Louisiana and get cheeky, I get punished. When I play ABC poker, I fall ass backwards into money. I don't know why and it's a limited sample size (usually go every other weekend). I haven't read Dan's anything but he plays pretty basic poker so I assume it's working advice.

It's as much a sport as chess and e-sports
