Although the discussion here is currently inactive, I want to add my thoughts. For me, poker is a complex real game that requires years of training, working on your mistakes and complete self-control to play effectively. It is also important to understand that it is normal to lose, the main thing is to draw the right conclusions and not to make the same mistakes in subsequent games. I have been playing for more than 5 years and I still understand that there is room to develop and learn. So if you think poker is an illusion, then it's just not your game.

Everything is real, you just need to try. The best way to quickly learn to play is to hire a coach. There are even free options

Hello.
I believe that everything depends only on the skills and experience of the player. For me, poker is entertainment that gives me pleasure and allows me to make money.

To me it is just a game. That is probably because I haven't been able to win my first million. Once I win my first million, then I will be able to shift to the reality element of the question.

I do like the illusion idea here: when I win, I feel like it is an illusion that I won based on my skill, because I know how fragile those winnings are and that they will probably be put back into the "poker community". I need to play better and make better decisions in order to remove this illusion from my equation.

Good Luck and God Bless

I don't think it is an illusion, it is a game and it has its way and its progress. There are many experiences, many up and down, which make it interesting!

Poker will reflect what is inside of you. It gives back what you put into it.

For me poker is not illusion nor reality it is just a game which I play when I am in the mood for it


I AGREE, I SEE THE POKER IN THIS SAME WAY. ALL MY bankroll WAS FROM FREEROLL GAMES. I DO NOT DEPOSIT EVEN A MONEY.

Poker is neither a problem nor a solution. The truth is that people create expectations that escape their reality. We have to be realistic with our true potential for everything in life.

I'm a big believer that what you put in is what you will take out, Look at ALL IN PAV from twitch 5 years ago played the micros but with constant study and improvment he has become one of the best players around the high stakes today.

Poker is an investment in yourself and hopefully you get a good ROI.

Poker is an investment that is very unpredictable.

I agree
the reality is that less than 5% of players win poker
but we all want to enter this 5%

for me the reality is that poker is an illusion for those who think they will win a lot of money and consider it just a game as a hobby.



I've been playing for a very long time (online, back to the Paradise Poker days), and over the years, I have realized that even though I have made a very small profit (true), it's not enough to even consider turning pro.

At first, I too, thought I would be able to conquer the poker world, and be rich, and poker feared.

So, for me, I'll stick to what I've done over the years, and settle for a few dollars, here, and there, and the odd tournament win.

If I ever win the Sunday Storm, my bucket poker list will be full.

I think it's an enjoyable game. I've won 1 trip 2 Vegas way back in 2006. Had a great time but didn't money. I'll just grind along dollar here dollar there. Hope for a big win someday. Haven;t won more then 1000 at 1 time online yet.
Crack my eggs not my Aces....lol
Have a great day

Para mim é um hobby, jogo para me divertir e se ganhar um dinheiro ok.
I also agree that for many it is an illusion of making money and if it is to make money we have to study, study and practice and then it will turn into something more serious, that is, a job.
The more we have to spend time, a lot of time studying and practicing.

For me its and easy and free way to possibly make some money. If I'm gonna waste time on my computer, might as well have the slight possibility of making money.

The reality is you can really make a good fortune out of nothing. when you trick people in making them believe that you have what ever you want them to think you have, that's the illusion you can create to help you make a lot of money fast. We are both living in the same real world but i'm making you believe that I have this so that you can fold or bluff and bet into me, that's the illusion one can create at the tables.

You might want to look at filling in some surveys for better ROI.

To me it is just a game that I enjoy playing. It is something I have been playing a long time and still enjoy the challenge of winning when I do. It keeps me young as I am getting older.

well if you get lucky and win the sunday million that would not be an illusion, just luck... so while i agree that you need to get lucky in order to win a good amount of money playing poker, i also think that the better players have more chances of becoming profitable players in the long run.
