Everyone gets the same percentage of good cards versus bad cards over a long enough period of time. This simple facet has several important ramifications. It means you must either #1 bluff or win pots where you don't have the best hand or #2 put more money into pots where you have the best hand then the worse hand.

Yep no strategies..and there's also no PokerGod and no little Pokerfairy helpers.
There's isn't a Santa Clause (but if you call raises with Arag - then you will often get a present on the River)
There are no tables, no chairs and no chips. It's all an illusion.
There are no opponents either. Every player at your table is infact yourself!
You are losing it and you're suffering from a multi-personality disorder. Your online poker life is a figment of your own imagination. Seek help.

I dunno - you don't think he'd go for "You're right sonny, it is all luck - $100-$200 blinds OK with you?"

doyle would probably say some stupid cliche garbage like "well sometimes you gotta look the man in the eye and know if you got him, or if he's got you"

YA OK DOYLE I STARED AT THE OTHER GUYS AVATAR FOR 45 SECONDS AND TIMED OUT AND FOLDED MIDDLE SET

#15 3rd July 2008, 2:31 AM

AFAIK that's an alright play, as long as you say "Mr Avatar, I'm gonna have to let you go" as you do it

#16 3rd July 2008, 2:54 AM

ok here's a question for you if there's no strategy in poker, then what do u call setting up your bluffs from the beginning of the hand?
EX) Player in set 1 very tight, raises, with w/e, and u on the button call with 95 off lets just say, flop w/e but it's junk, seat 1 beats, u just flat call, turn bunk, he bets u raise, he raises, u rereraise folds, what's those plays called??? Just wondering Ty
