Poker is a game of chance (wait im not finished), yes skill is required but no matter how much skill you have you can
not just make that king magicly come up on the river to make your gutshot straight draw. With that said I love taking chances, there is nothing better than sitting down at a table with eight other people wondering the whole time who will get the cards tonight.
There is no luck in poker, ill say it again, there is no LUCK in poker. Stop looking at your computer screen funny,
im going to explain...People go on rushes, they get good cards, they play the cards they get really well, or by some chancenthat king of clubs does come up on the river. Then you have the bad beats such as your aces full of 9's get crushed by quad 9's, yes that happened to me just a few days ago), or you get outplayed or someone else catches that elusive king on the river. Either way its not luck, no my friends its not luck, the cards fall the way they are shuffled and actually the game is decided before the cards are even dealt out.Now im sure i'll get some E-mails on that, but guess what...Thats exactly what I want, E-mail me, let me know what you think, im an open minded guy.
Now for a little about me, after all you have to know a little about the person who's blog youll be reading right?
I am an avid poker player, I play two weekly live tournaments in the BTR world poker league (but more on them later)
I play online on Pokerstars.com almost constantly when im at home and not reading or sleeping. I love Suited cards, give me9 queen of hearts and ill play it 95 percent of the time. I hate pocket aces, im sure alot of you do, they get cracked
probably more than any other starting pair other than dueces in Texas hold'em.
I will be blogging on all types of poker, from tornaments on tv to cash games in a friends dining room. If it has to do with poker and is worth having a conversation about then I will talk about it here with you. Now I must warn you, poker can get dirty and when there is 9.4 million dollars on the line and someone sucks out on you with that king on the river, dont say I did'nt warn you about the bad beats and those gutshots when they hit the other way.
