Do you think that recently the skill in poker is less relevant and that is due to the huge popularization of this game, along with the feeling that everyone is playing for fun? And whether the game is for money or a freeroll, the concept of Modern Poker has emerged, which is based only on luck -push any gutshot or draw, regardless of outs? I even like it myself tried to play that way and dragged a freeroll for 10,000 players. What do you think about this?

It depends on the way you look at it. I think over the past year or so more and more players play for fun and enjoyment. So rather than playing like you would expect them to, and they seem to go all in every hand. It is frustrating to watch at times but my advice is to continue to play properly and play the correct hands and your bank roll will build whilst theirs deminishes.

The game has been popularized in many places, more on the one hand and good that has these guys who play for fun, after all are they who pay our bills, because they play like monkeys

You need skills to play poker, you need maths and luck. If you go only with the luck it will be like a lottery, so the results will be very poor. So you better have your strategy with poker and study it when you play for having more fun and positive results.

At least online poker is like this. When you read in poker schools about ranks or bets it seems that they are far from reality, and one ends tilt before both bad. Poker is becoming a massive sport and we must be attentive to the changes involved, advancing as much as the.

Fundamentally, the rules of poker and the standard deck of cards have not changed in a long time. So there's the same amount of skill required that there always was. The players today might be different, but with careful analysis I'm sure you can figure out how to profit off of their play. If they're calling you with trash and hoping for luck, that's fantastic, just play your good hands and bet for value, and you will make lots of money.

Actually I was thinking something very simliarly about yourself, LOL.... not sure what hand(s) it was but am certain I took a couple notes on you ;)

Also, 'IF' there is actually a large influx of loose/gambling players relying more on luck... this is a GOOD THING for poker!!! Do you see why?

Who was that? It sounds like maybe they've lost their taste for gambling. Of course Poker's all about the money, surely that's what makes it fun, provided you can manage a bankroll. You could bet on any game, like chess or bridge or whatever, but in Poker money is a fundamental part of the gameplay.

You need to be able to adapt to "modern players", or to become one yourself:)

I think poker it's not a lottery. It's skill, experience and knowledges and 20-25% of luck

to some extent you're right, but in this game you need to constantly improve their skills. can be many inexperienced beginners and tactics play push / fold, but the master clearly calculates his actions and wins more often
