Playing poker is not easy, especially if we play in tournaments because, in that tournament, there will be a lot of pro players who often hide their abilities in playing poker. But hopefully, more casinos will hold poker tournaments so that more players will test each other's abilities to be the winner. Maybe for now, if you are interested in joining a poker tournament, you should practice your poker skills often because when the time comes, you are ready to play and maybe you can be the winner.
What do you mean by hide their abilities? They will definitely show how much experience they have with each hand on the table and it's upto to you how you manage to trick some other players even with weak hands while the other part is cards you are having that makes a strong pair or not but hiding abilities sounds weird to me as well.There are lot of tournaments if you seek for them.
Professional poker players can analyze situations and circumstances more than anyone else, so they pretend to panic and can't do it. Perhaps this will be part of their strategy to get others to look down on them so that others can get caught up in their game.
Maybe it's not a trick or anything like that but it could happen to outwit the opponent so that the professional poker player can get a way to win.
It is always curious to read "the professional poker player...he is a machine, he knows what he is doing..." and so on.
A poker player who says or is a professional, basically he pays his bills and responsibilities, then they make poker his profession.
And in this line there are professional poker players who do their job well, others are very bad, others improve, others remain stagnant, etc.
It is a complex job not only because of the game itself, difficult to tackle in a few lines.
In any case to summarize a professional poker player can be the "cousin" of the table ... and he does not know it, but the next day or when he analyzes the game he discovers it.
Being the one with the least skills in a certain poker game with other rivals is not a bad thing or it is perhaps very common for many professionals, the issue lies in not knowing it.
