Playing Poker

※Warning: I don't want to discuss with gamble. (Wagering of money or something of material value) I want to discuss with game. (Just for fun, no money.) If you're addicted in gamble, you should visit somewhere can help you.

I played texas hold'em since a few months ago, I'm not a very good player though.
I think poker is nice game. It's not about luck. It's about skill, math, risk-handling strategies and psychology. You can practice them, there is worth of it.
But it's worth when you play it as game, not as gamble.

So... is there is poker player in ALL? If we have some, maybe we can have meeting on online if time permits.

I'm decent at most forms of card games, but I'm not that great at Hold 'Em.
I love the game, it's fun, I'm just not good at it.

In technicality, the game really is about luck of the draw.
It's points in strategies rely around the bluff and knowing when to raise, fold, and call, and when not to. So in that essence, it can teach someone who's a gambler to be a more professed gambler, or a better one.
Like I said, it mostly really does come down to the luck of the draw.

Now if you go to a casino to play, the games are ALWAYS rigged.
The dealers are trained to count, and trained to switch decks, and trained to count someone else counting. That's why there's the old saying that "the house always wins." I can confirm this, because my cousin has been a successful poker dealer for the last 12 years of her life at a local casino in my tourist hometown.

Hold 'Em in particular, will help make someone better at other various types of poker and casino card games that are played. That was the games original intent. It took off into it's sporting levels really out of a fluke and a cult following because the game is really fun.

There used to be a game kids would play when I was much younger called Spit, which taught similar things, only it was about hand/eye coordination and math and strategy rather than something more mentally engaging like Hold 'Em.

Overall though, I love card games.
