I've been watching some poker tournaments with Antonius, Negreanu and Cates lately. Most of the time the person with better combination actually wins, but there occur some great bluffs from time to time as well. Do you think it is better to fold if you don't have at least one high card in a pair or two cards of the same suit? Is it worth to try out overbetting tricks when you really have shitty cards? When I tried playing poker, overbetting usually made me fold, because it is a hard psychological attack for me and I am not the kind of a person that is willing to risk a lot. But I am bad at poker. What is your opinion on this matter?

You will never win in the long run if you only play with your good cards, Poker is about to read your opponents.
The guys you mention above, they are expert on this, that is why they after 10 years still are among the best players in the world

I don't play much poker myself but I do enjoy watching it. It's quite frustrating when people dismiss poker as just a game of luck. Well, it' no coincidence that the same group of players keep winning. Poker is a psychological game won by people with a strong mind. Some amateur can get lucky in a few games but over the long run, the same professionals win the majority of tournaments.
