In the Poker World we come across many colorful characters & personalities in poker or at the tables.
Their is so many players who are known to have cheated or did shady things but are well liked or put up on a pedastle regardless. Why ? Certainly in society this gets frowned upon and justice usually prevails. Sometimes in poker this happens but its rare. I got to ask why?

Some players who do these things laugh about it not caring the lives they destroyed and stole from. It takes a real low life kind of human being to do such a thing. On top of this to act like they either did nothing wrong or say that was the past and i am much different know. Oh really your much different? Then go give back to the same people whose lives you stole from or cheated and make it right! You have changed my butt.
In poker i find it very hard to trust or befriend anyone as in life. My Father always told me to never trust anyone in Life but yourself. You know what he is 1 million % right. Put all your trust in yourself and who gives a hoot what others are gonna think. Live a good life and try to do right , be fair & try to live your best life. Those were the best words of advice i have ever had in my life. Only wish i could of gotten the words of wisdom much sooner. Those were the words my Father told me before he died.

So this message goes out to all the new players or some old . Be careful who you get involved with or trust in this dark, dark industry. Its alot darker than you think. Be careful out there and remember only trust yourself and you gonna be allright. There is some real shady players out there who pretend to be good people when they certainly are the opposite.

I think you should give this poker thing a break buddy sounds like your very depressed over it! Yes there are some people out there that have all wrong intentions more than anyone would like but this is applicable to every walk of life wherever you go. On the other hand I have met and made lifelong friends from all over the world through this game alone. Some of the nicest, down to earth humbled people that I would not of met anywhere else. Yes there are bad eggs but as a whole I find the poker community to be welcoming to all levels you can always find someone happy to help answer some questions or just rant to its not all doom and gloom man

Hi.
Without a doubt, people are different, players are also different. But for me, poker is fun that brings me pleasure, and my bankroll grows every month, so I have nothing to fear. If you are afraid of everyone and everything, then over time it will turn into paranoia.
Good luck.

Not depressed over poker at all. Speaking truth is all. Poker is a dark industry . Your in denial. Maybe you should give poker a break and face the truth. You sound depressed and maybe should go see a doctor bud.

Are you afraid of everyone? Are you paranoid ? I think you should go see a doctor bud talking about afraid of people and paranoia. I know covid 19 might be getting to you . Its ok. You gonna be alright.

Ok I see how this conversation goes already. Very far from depressed my man if you got that impression from my reply you should read it again. I hope you sort your issues and find the reason you started playing this game again because as soul crushing as it can be sometimes there’s no other game that can reward you the same

I think your mental state deserves the attention of a psychiatrist. Please consult a doctor. :)

If you play in a controlled environment there is no such thing as shady poker players in my opinion.

Poker is a game by rules and if you are playing either online or live but in regulated environment you are ok... They can be as shady as they want because the organisation cover you.

Just play poker and have fun :)

While playing online poker, and even more so in Cardschat games, I did not notice any serious cheating on the part of other players. There are isolated cases of deception when players who are not platinum level or ignorance enter the game, but this is very rare and let it remain on the conscience of these people:)

When poker started as a game in the 1800s it was played by really shady persons and most of them had the goal to cheat you and take your money no matter what the price is. Poker changed a lot since that time though and today if you play on regulated sites online or in licensed casinos live generally you will not have any problems. If some players make problems you can always report these online or call floor manager to solve the problem. If you play illegally of course it is expected to have more trouble. There are many poker players who are also good people and there is nothing wrong to be friend with another poker player but when money are involved you should always carefully assess the situation just like in many other life situations.

I agree with this, and it is the reason why I will always pay for my own poker. I will never seek or accept a "staking deal", and I won't even "swap pieces" with other players.

Greed is a powerful thing, and all these deals between players are driven by greed in my opinion. These deals are made with the hope that it will make the players extra money, they often use terms like "reduce our variance", which is really just a code phrase for "make more money".

If I always play on my own dime, I'll never run into this problem of shady characters. The only thing I'll have to guard against is angle-shooting at the tables, but I can deal with that and accept that risk.

Man if when it comes to playing poker, you're alone at the table. Surely each player is looking for a way to take their chips, they are all villains on the prowl. You can belong or be a member of a poker community, but each player will try to win. When it comes to money, you should always be more than vigilant.
