Poker

Is poker easy to win?

do you mean online or live tables cuz the vibe is totally different

Winning consistantly is the hard part, anyone can run hot for a session but long term you need mad disipline and bankroll management.

l live is way more about reading people and tells but online you actually face way tougher strategy nonstop

First time I played I bluffed my own self

I think the word "easy" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here because even pros lose sessions all the time, so it is not like you just sit down and print money. The game itself is simple to learn but the edge comes from folding when your gut says to play, which is honestly so boring to actually do.

id take a live table over online any day at least you can stare someonne down

No it's not easy. The game itself is simple but winning consistently requires a level of patience that most people just do not have.

Not at all. Folded pocket aces twice today lol

I ran up a fifty dollar deposit to like eight hundred once in a single night thinking I was a genius, then lost it all in two hands the next day. The variance will humble you fast.

Online tournaments are a rollercoaster though, you can nure a short stack for two hours and then get coolered with queens versus kings right before the final table.

sat next to a guy at a live 1/2 table who was absolutely crushing it, didnt realize til he left it was his full time job and he just sared at his phone between hands like it was the most boring thing in the world, that patience isnt easy at all

I once flopped a full house and got called by a guy who thought his top pair was golden, felt like a genius for about ten seconds. Then the very next hand I bluffed off half my stack to the same dude. The game loves to build you up just to tear you right back down.

lol yeah it?s all about that mental game and patience tbh, can't just rely on luck forever ?

nah poker is brutal if you think its easy, the amount of times ive donked off chips because I got bored folding is embarassing one time I spent 4 hours grniding a tourney just to bust out calling an all in with pocket tens liek a complete moron

thoght about this at 3am last week after donking off my whole stack to a guy who showed me a 7 2 offsuit he called my 4bet with just to tilt me

Try focusing on one table size at first, cash games or tournaments, and just nailing your preflop ranges instead of trying to outpay everyone postflop

one thing that helped me stop bleeding chips was literally muting the table and only looking at bet sizings, not the avatars or chat. once i ignored the bluffs and just folded marginal hands prefop my winrate stopped tanking so hard
