I don`t think that playing in the internet easier than playing in offline casino. This is just different types of game. In online poker you don`t see the opponent, but the opponent doesn`t see you. That`s why you can concentrate on the game. And you don`t need to read the opponent, you spend all your time at cards. I think that it can be a problem to become offline player if you played only online before.

Well even these things make it possible in pookerstars.net, for me it is important and very realistic that at least faces could be seen, it is clear that here all privacy and anonymity would not exist, but I don't know, I think that the strategies between playing in online is one, and playing offline is another because there are more distractions, with online poker games it is easier to be able to concentrate as you say, the only way to persuade the remaining players is to make strategies regarding money, maybe Instead, bet more and make bigger bets so that the other players are afraid to bet, that is a strategy that can be applied and it is not necessary to see the gestures of the players.

This looks same something between online and offline poker. I`d prefer to play online without video. It is not about anonymity but about concentration. For me much easier to play so - it doesn`t matter what i wear, what i do, how i breathe, i can concentrate on cards and my strategy. When i play offline i begin analyze opponents more than cards, it becomes another game. I like it too, but i can`t fast change my strategy.

You're right, you can play offline by applying many more strategies, but it's difficult because any gesture or something suggests that you have, but of course this is being the most observant. In the strategies that are had when it is online it is different, many apply any strategy and after the PC nobody knows the intentions of one over the other, then they are very different things, I think there should be a course for each case, both for outside line that is for me the most complicated than for online poker games or tournaments, because there must always be a very different behavior under the corresponding modality.

I played about 10 years and thought that i`m good enough. But one day my friend gave me several books about poker strategies. After these books i began to play much better and it became possible to play on several tables the same time to me.
I think that good players always study(as all other professionals) - from the opponents, looking other tourneys, reading and watching some courses, but i don`t sure that someone ought to pay for it.

You are absolutely right my friend, a good player must always be updated, because now we have seen many players who do not leave their comfort zone and rely only on their previously acquired knowledge, and also fully trust their skills and intuition, and although they do not it is a bad perspective to think like that, we must bear in mind that the greatest teachers are the books, there in the majority of books I really like the experiences that many players have had and have trained them there, those are the books that I really teach, and this is how to trade, the more knowledge you have the better because it translates into making money.

I sure that this is true for everything. Everybody have 2 choices to level-up and both of them are studying. As for poker - you can play with overskilled players, lose money but your skill will increase. Another way - courses, the most part of them free or it is possible to find it for free. The main problem is to find quality courses and i can`t say that the OP trying to sell such courses - he doesn`t tell us anything about it.

What you say is very true, a person should always polish their skills and take into account everything in terms of learning, also the fact of playing with people who play poker very well is a very good way to learn, and that is something called experience, in the books, in the courses everything is talked about and some techniques are given, it does not matter if they are paid courses, or if they are not free courses, thank God there is a lot of information and that it is of quality, that is very useful because at the moment Of us to apply our knowledge we have the necessary expertise to face any situation without needing to step aside thinking that we have a lower level or something, the more you play poker, the more professional it becomes

Yeah, that's how you win in poker, by having more skills than others. Luck doesn't care who you are, it's distributed absolutely randomly among everyone. So, although it wouldn't be right to say that everyone has equal amount of luck, that definitely wouldn't be true, we can still say that no one can count on having more luck than others. Hence, we are all equal in this department. But we can count on having more skills. And if we are more skillful than our opponents, we have an edge over them.

It's true that luck affects all of us and should therefore not play a too big of a role in our decision making. But this implies that we are playing a lot of hands in poker regularly to get the randomness (positive and negative luck) out of our strategy. For someone who only plays maybe one night per month poker the aspect of luck is completely different. If we meet a recreational poker player who goes allin preflop with his 22 for example, only to hit another 2 on the river, we will lose a big pot. For him the win could mean everything and he might take a break for another 3 weeks from poker and enjoy his profit. Swings in our profitability are part of every poker player, and the smaller the number of played hands the more will the swings affect our bankroll. That is also why tracking software for poker hands is so important. It will show me exactly how my swings are affecting my gameplay and if my strategy is still giving me an advantage over my opponents.

If obviously when a person is not on a streak or their games do not go well, it can also be due to the randomness that the game gives, if there is no luck in the hand, no matter how much knowledge one has, it is difficult to win, sometimes a night can leave anyone bankrupt and more so when you do not control what you have willing to lose, sometimes a good rest or that a person who plays a lot takes a vacation is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is very good for your health mental and it does him good, sui is a person who always wins and who has money, because it doesn't hurt that half of his money goes to his enjoyment and fun.
