Losing it to the game. the only winners is the house. if i loss my chips to you and then your going to lose it again....why because your a degen. looool GG
player A starts with 10$ player B has 10$ too. they both in a pot for 20$. house takes 10% so winner ends with 18$ (playerA). player B tops up another 18$, both go all in. pot 36$ this time Player B wins, House takes 10%. so Player B takes 32.40$. Player B is up 4.40$ house is up 5.60$. Player A top up another 32.40$ both go all in again, pot 64.80$. Player B win and takes the pot, after rake of 6.48$. which makes total rake of 12$. player B has 58.32$ in fort of him. Player B has put 60$ in the game and is down 1.68$, Player A is down 42.40$.. now do you get the maths of poker??
its all an illusions where they sell your own dream too you. By putting all these pros on TV making a Big show, CREATING A MEGA CITY. Its all a big Con. the only winners is the once that run the show. In your head you might think you are running the show and thats because you are dreaming.
by making you think you can become the best, become rich, become famous. as matey says all poker player are broke, well its not a big shock is it?
tournament poker is more of a skill game. you can improve your skill in poker and become more knowledge in the game play, but you will need loadsssssssssssssssssssssss of money to stay in the game.
lets say u get a backer, ok all gg but you get 50% of ur winnings. you spend 100% time and get payed 50% of your time. all ur doing is wasting time. how much time do u enjoy when losing? you can be winning everyday. and 1 more point you end up in debt, hope u find can find a job after you stop playing poker because you need to pay back what you lost.
how many of you lot is making a living from poker? how much do earn every week? do you have a mortgage or a house in your own name? so before you reply to this, have a little think about your life and where poker stands, have you made poker your life? is it dressing your dreams, because of you thinking you can change something in life thought poker. how many of you lot think online poker is rigged?
Ok there might of been a few that made but we still need to look at the bigger picture, look at there life styles and see what are the advantages and disadvantages.
only winner are players that walk away when they are winning.
Good Luck
