Not to the extent of Deep Blue in chess. Pt I'm making is that poker isn't absolutely based on math.

The correct process is absolutely based on math, the results arent because of the chance factor

The correct title of this thread was "I suck at listening to smart people"

How would a computer detect a bluff? Based on math?

That's assuming you are the 'smarter' person.

an interesting theory has been introduced recently that implies the chance factor can be overcome by human intuition, or "feel".

That's fine and dandy, but the poker world has yet to produce an AI that can conquer the game as Deep Blue did in chess. It's not all cold, hard numbers.

Thats because of the luck factor. There are bots that solved LHE and are crushing NLHE midstakes on iPoker.

Guess ignorance is bliss though. As far as coaching, I'd recommend the 2p2 user betgo, I think he would suit you.

grunching but please don't quantify it with "Internet Poker MTTs" or "live poker MTTs". If you suck at one and can't adjust over a long period of time, you probably just suck at poker.

Ok, I hope that you're all winning players here for those of you dispensing "you must suck, period" statements.

Nah, I don't tilt at all. I just find it amusing for those that feel so 'superior' and relish the need to put down those that ask questions...but, whatevs. I hear it all the time at the tables, so-and-so giving their opinions, saying they won $x,xxx last night, bla bla bla, yet they are a historical losing player. Really quite amusing.

I'm pretty good deciding who's got skills and who doesn't and will listen to those that speak softly and carry a big stick vs the opposites.

best advice i could give is to humbly realise the fact that you probably do suck, and from there, rebuild your skill set from the ground up.

most people coming from a live background naturally think they're 'good', which inadvertently inhibits the pace at which they can improve.

I readily admit that I do suck, it's in the title. What more you guys want, me to kneel down and beg for your nuggets of wisdom?

Maybe you just suck at the internet in general. So I'll give you a few tips. The internet or world wide web is an incredible resource that allows one access an almost infinite amount of information. Try using, what is referred to as a search engine to find the answers you seek. Once you learn the basics of the internet, you won't have to place the onus on others to prove themselves to you. You can simply gather that information all on your own. PM me if you want an internet coach.

most of the players commenting on here are winning players. I don't even play at the top level or know any of them but I recognize Rowinwyn, Chu, Doggz, ShipthisPlz and probably others that have commented here as very good players. You shud take their advice instead of criticizing them and assuming they are losing players. You have probably blown opportunities to make useful contacts for the future because of ur attitude.
