**** Poker. The only difference between a Pro and someone who plays for a living, is the fact that that person is playing for a living. I'm pro, and i don't play this damn, unpredictable, lucky of a game for a ****ing living.

Ive played NL Texas Holdem for 10 years now, the last 4 as a pro.

I can't ****ing win anymore at this damn game, thats why its so stupid. I play Smart, Tight, Error free, Unreadable, Poker. ill limp in with AA, KK, AK, QQ, you name it... all ****ing session long, and 9/10 times, ***** ill ****ing hit and slow play your dumbass. Thanks for letting me put you on a hand by raising your balls off pre-flop, regardless if your bluffing or not, ***** i have AA, thanks for the party invitation. now ill check all the way down the the river, hesitate call any bet you make while i have the nuts, and thats if i do, and if i can safely place you on a hand after the flop. If u check it all the way, and i have the nuts on the river, or I've been reading your dumbass for the past 2-4 hours or even all session long, i can safely put you on a hand, and i unleash a bet after the river and have you saying to yourself WTF. Then i win, i win the pot, i win if you call, i win.

You have AK suited, your playing 2/5 NL poker, and your the big blind. Some "Pro" makes it 50 dollars pre-flop. One caller, two callers, then the action is on you. You call the 50. DON'T Raise... they could have AA or KK and already have you destroyed, just call. the flop comes A - K - 10. You check, they bet $150, and you fold... Don't call, because they have AA and they can fill up after that, they told you everything you need to know by their 50 dollar pre-flop bet. then ask them to show the aces and most of the time they do. This is how you become pro, by playing Smart, Tight, Error Free, Unreadable, Poker. even a stupid opponent can beat your AK with a QJ and hitting that flop. The game is based off luck, just because you have KQ, QQ, KK, AA, AK, AJ... dosent mean you have to raise pre-flop to get the 5/6 suited, or 9/10 suited or 2/2 to fold, morons and tilt players will call regardless, just call the min, or if you have a read, make a bigger call, but put your opponent on a strong hand that could beat yours so you don't get connected to a starting hand you cannot fold. see the flop, if the STATISTICS are in your favor, then your good to go, if not, you better have a read on your opponent and have better hole card then they do. I can go on and on about poker strategy. The fact is Poker is unprediable luck

wtf is this ******ed rant quit poker and close your thread nobody cares.

Me and you are playing 2/5 NL Poker.

I have Q/9 Suited, you have 10/10.

do you call the $5 or Raise?

The fact is, anyone who wins a lot of damn money at this game, played high stakes poker and got lucky, or got lucky playing low stakes poker repetitively. Its nothing but BS. I play some of the best players in the entire state of Texas, Im one of the best players in the entire state of Texas. Give me 250k to buy in a high stakes poker game where i can walk out with 20k+ in a single hand easy just by everyone folding pre flop, and sure, you'll think you can be pro one day and be a millionaire playing poker by starting off at 1/2. good luck ever winning 10k playing 1/2. Good luck winning 20k playing 2/5. and good luck winning 50k playing 5/10. If you don't have 2 thousand dollars to buy into a 5/10 game, and are willing to lose it, no sweat. you'll soon realize you lost 2 thousand dollars with AK suited to A4 off suit, and that poker is a game of luck, where a complete moron who isn't even pro by a scratch will beat you, and make you question everything you learned by playing this game for 10 damn years. Tell me I'm wrong just because you sat down at a 1/2 game with 100 bucks and walked away with 1000. you got lucky the whole damn time, and probably profited from bad play like going all in with 10/10 pre-flop.

I raise your dumb ass to 18.

PIO says you should quit poker at some frequency

This is absolutely priceless

unprediable


Pro confirmed

If you call there with AK preflop and you know they have aces or kings and u still call who is the pro then?

This made my night man
Jesssss it was GOD

Dude, you wortu more than that.
Don't waste your time in this stupid game.
Everybody is dumm. They don't understand you should just call with KK. They might have AA!!!
Yes everyone who makes money of this game is lucky.. No ... Wait... They can see the future... They can see everyone's cards!
They are dumm.
And you are a pro for sure. No doubt on that.

10 years? Maybe it was 6734 years?
Jessss you teenagers...

ok.... I call, with Q/9 Spades and the Flop comes As - 10s - Jh... you better hope a spade dosen't hit, or a damn king that kills your set. You'll learn real quick that that will happen more times than none, the stats, once again, stats, are in my favor after the flop. You raised my $5 to $18, which would actually have to be $15, or $20 in a real 2/5 game, so well go with $20. You just threw away, $15 bucks... thats 18 hands of poker at the table stakes were playing at... get my point. I

The game is luck man, I lost tonight With KQ diamonds, raised to $25, only one guy called... flop comes 3 - 2 - 7... I go $45... he calls... Turn is a 2. 3 - 2 - 7 - 2...
I check, he starts reaching, then i say "what did you call pre flop with?" as i fold my king queen and showed it, he shows 4/6 off and gets up and starts racking his chips.

Later i have AK clubs, I raise to $45, after there is some raising going on...I get one caller.
Long story short. he called with 6/6 and hit a 6 on the flop and i rivered AAA. he had a boat. I mean give me a damn break, he dint even know he had a boat. He saw my Set and got up and started leaving. This game sucks.

Every pot i bluffed, someone had the damn nuts... I went all in pre flop after there were raises with KK... One caller, AK... A on the flop.... this game sucks... your only gone win a lot of money at this game if you buy in for realllllllllly high stakes, like 25/50 or 100/200, and just get super LUCKY and catch cards on the board.... and go down to small stakes and try to invest some sort of your winning to see if you'll get a return... otherwise you'll lose all you won playing those high stakes, and thats even if you won going in.... and if you lost all of that going in initially... then your just a sucker... thinking this game is clllll based off skill.... its truly not. MLB, NFL, NBA... thats based off skill, not poker....

you see what the flop is... ever heard of aces cracked?

you can flush out, hit a straight, hit a boat... (KKKQQ) and see what they do after you put them on aces after the flop. called a check.

Thats the beauty of Ace King, you can still hit straights... "Pro"

And your the kind of person who wishes they could wear a poker stars badge on ur leather jacket. You probably put a yosi toy or a spinner on your cards too while ur in a hand. Your a sensationalized poker player, you copy off people who get payed by casinos to play poker in their casinos and poker sites that pay a few people money to get suckers like you to gove the site money, which in turn can't pay you bc gambling is illegal outside of casinos... its the illusion that you can strike it rich at this game if you become "pro" you wish you were pro. Poker is BS, and I destroy players like you, and your super easy to put on tilt bc ur a jealous sensationalized player. and yes I'm on tilt but id destroy you with an ace high flush you Q/4 playing scrub.

You have AA. I have KK.

Board comes K - K - 2...

I told you what i had, and this is why. I guarantee on a raised pre flop, in a $2/5 to 75 dollars, and I bet $150, you would call, then i would destroy you, id check and hesitate call the turn on you, and go all in after the river. people like you die with aces, and you think its a "standard" play. You think your smart and funny, but your a over jealous player who gets put on tilt once your kings get cracked by my 10/J clubs with a straight on the flop for me. shut up

I like popcorn

Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't know you knew what every flop, or turn, or river was going to be before it was ever dealt. wasn't aware someone with X-ray vision like yourself could predict the cards that were about to hit. must be nice.

and your correct. I am pro. sorry you can't say the same about yourself. go play free internet poker scrub.

Why did you fold KQ against 64 if you had the best hand? A player as good as you should be able to read that you're ahead...

True, and I thought i was. He was a bad player, one that would call $25 pre flop with 2/2, A2, K2, 3/3, 3/2... So i thought i was saving myself money instead of going all in to just buy the pot and see if he had it or not, had i forced him to see the river or to but his own pot.. he could still have ace high and beat my K/Q. He called $25 pre-fop. would you without an ace, pocket pair, or high cards? Give people credit, saves you money. put your money in when you have the cards to win, not with King high, but I completely know where your coming from, and i almost did go all in, to end it right there and take my pot in. fact is, as soon as you tel yourself someone is bad, and you can do that, they have aces. Looking back, i should have gone all in, but if it happened again, id do the same. **** him.

mods please move this to bbv. we need a good laugh

To quote this year's player of the year: the game is 100% skill and 100% luck. That sums up my experiences with it. My individual session results reveal the luck and my year ledger reveals the skill.
