Oh. I thought this was today’s sexy thread.
Can you explain to me why poker’s fun, please? Seems like a combination of calculating odds (dull) and occasionally “reading people” (my arse can you do that reproducibly, you’re kidding yourself on).
It’s quite exciting when you get a good hand. But yeah in my experience most of the time is spent folding 2/7 off suit and getting annoyed at mates not knowing whose turn it is.
Balonz if I’m not mistaken
You just look at their stats.
Alright Vishy Anand.
I used to enjoy playing poker against people who were worse at it than me, but didn’t enjoy so much playing against people who were better.
I also didn’t enjoy losing a fucktonne of money.
Yeah, but in all seriousness that’s what the online doobers do. They switch on the monitoring software and wait for it to find a mug.
I hardly knew 'er thread!
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Chess Face.
2009 champ Joe Cada finished 5th. That’s pretty amazing all in all.
I see what you did there. [and raised]
And then went and won a 4th bracelet in a field of 3k+ Pretty good going
I think you can work out why poker is fun for a lot of people $$$$
But my job isn’t fun. Not even in bonus month.
you could ask them to make your monthly salary dependent on both your skill AND luck. Like sometimes you get a 5th of it, sometimes 5x it. And your payslip is titled “winnings” Sounds more fun already
You got to know when to hold ‘em, Know when to fold ‘em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run. You never count your money When you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ When the dealing’s done.
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun.
Well no, it really isn’t.
poker is well boring.
Always go all in after 5 or 6 hands even if I’m playing for money because I can’t take how shit it is
I mean you can’t really even have a proper conversation because everyone’s doing their poker thing and pretending to be in a fucking Tarantino movie or something
