Poker seems more interesting than I thought or maybe I'm having fantasies based on how well it was explained in this video. I think it is engaging and needs a lot of concentration and cognitive involvement. I might be more involved in the poker activities in the forum for now as an observer until I can understand the game better to gain more experience and interest in it.
It's an interesting game but I think it's more of luck and you just have to hope you get good cards with respect to the table and also hope that others are not too good because trust me some people are just too good in Texas hold em' all. you don't have to worry much about cheating since it's online though and the algorithm does the shuffling but sometimes even with the worst card combination you can beat a straight flush or even a royal flush if you have good bluffing skills.
