Try to enroll on poker courses if you are really interested on enhancing your skills because that’s the best way to learn from expert instead of watching random video tutorials online because they don’t proper flow of learning unlike courses that guide you properly.

I’m using Pokerstar application to practice poker skills. I agree that most players play recklessly but you will find a decent opponent once you enter high level table.

Thank You. I'll try it later when I have free time. But if the poker course fees are too high, I may reconsider enrolling in the course.

I'm just worried that if I learn poker later, I will spend my time just learning because I'm the type of person who is curious about something I don't know yet Grin

But it's a great idea to try the Pokerstar app. Is the app for mobile or computer?

I think playing poker and being able to learn how to win goes a little bit beyond of knowing specifical people you can play with. It is more about noticing the physical cues, expressions and reactions your foes may have.

Sure thing, one can play against someone you know very frequently, and eventually read his expressions and reactions, but it is different when you face strangers in a tournament. That is the importance of not only knowing the theory of poker, but also the different kind of things people do when they are anxious, eager to wager, etc.

It is not so exaggerate like some movies make it look like, but such cues indeed exist.

It might apply to poker games in offline casinos, but if it is tried in online casinos, I'm afraid it won't be easy because we can't pay attention to all the cues. And that might make us confused and can only guess.

I seem to have noticed some of those cues in movies but don't quite understand them. Sometimes the cues are so subtle that they can confuse or even misinterpret them.

Paying attention to cues from opponents is a difficult thing to do because they sometimes just distract us. And if we don't have much experience, maybe it's hard to beat them.

Apart from everything, watching streamers to get entertainment from them might also entertain us when we don't feel like gambling. Or maybe we can watch it when we're free. It can eliminate boredom because we will see many things from them. But we don't need to follow what they do.

Obviously, in offline casinos there is nothing to do if we intend to try to guess the hand of our foe.

It can be difficult, but it is not impossible and rather than a distraction, I think it can be an advantage if done right, specially if one is playing against people who are at our same level of skill. There are people who just can't help and react to good things or bad things.

It is like when you are asking something to a child and you can tell they are lying because how they talk move or the fact they are looking away, avoiding to directly look at your eyes, as they grow up and become adults, some cannot get rid of those patterns.
