for beginners

well hate to break this to you theres no strategy in holdem its the cards you get so if you go in on crap cards they might come on the table luck all luck

lol, wtf?

Right... That´s why some people lose thousands of $ and others make a living at it and constantly finish ITM of major tournements.

That's revolutionary. You, sir, are a true poker pioneer.

Tell that to Texas Dolly, I bet he'll hit you upside the head with his crutch.

If there is no strategy involved in hold em how do you explain my consistently losing. huh? huh? huh?

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 agree with you 7letters

Me too.

I hate thouse post that just say "lol", but LOL!!!

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

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

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

Cardschat salutes Real Men of Genius. Here's to you Mr. Play any 2 cards, 'cause it's all luck.

BRILLIANT.
