Poker is an unusual game that combines skill and luck! And development in poker is a path from randomness and the illusion of winning in an instant, to the pinnacle of poker skill and being included in the honorable list of professional poker players.

sometimes I think about it ...
who generates more rake, who turns a lot and invests a lot, makes the room win a lot of rake and in these cases ends up becoming profitable in the long run ...
Because the algorithm rewards those who generate the most rake ... it can't be honest, because I see every team player out there making horrifying plays full of empty texts commenting on finished hands ... and they are still profitable .. Me these days I questioned some moves of a live pro and he was ashamed of very weak moves ....
now I joined a micro stakes team let's see if they can win you over the long term

How can you join a microstakesteam?

If cheatsinos like Bet On Lies would stop rigging the microstakes, then we could legalize it in the USA and find out whether it's a game or skill. Why won't the sites even pretend to run stats on how many hands went to showdown preflop each week and what were the numbers?

It's what you make of it..

Poker, if a fair game, is not an illusion. It's a game of skill combined with variance(luck). Taken very seriously, it is a game, a hobby, can become an obsession. The trick is to play with the realization that long-run, it is very difficult to stay money positive playing poker.
As a hobby, it can be fun, with friends, not for much money; more for bragging rights.
Poker can be an obsession, like any other diversion, taken to the extreme.

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 get it like this: if rushing and all the cards are in suit, it's an illusion, because I know my level well. If the black bar is already a reality. And if not there, not here and had a good time and lost a little money, then this is a hobby.

It's just not possible to win a lot, poker art, and you need a good experience and skill, and understanding the game ...

 

[daurensdo]

No illusion, if you play well you can win a lot

 

[evildoesit2003]

I grew up with poker being played around me, I cant sing so I play poker, I love the game for some reason, it tests my inner being so to speak, anyhow good luck with it.

Welcome to poker, if reality can become an illusion or vice versa, I believe poker when played wisely and humbly becomes a profitable hobby, but when played aggressively humility ends and planned profits become illusion...

The same. But that fact ruins my game

poker is primarily a figment of your imagination when you bluff and reality when you get money from winning

 

[nero_lpl]

If you develop, learn and spend time studying, it can be a reality!

Hopefully not on the list of 'broke' ones...

At first it seemed like it would be a profession or some new profit market, but today it has become another platform where banks always win!

 

[Gallarado777]

if you play poker you must always have funds to make up your deposit or you won't win

 

[oleg8519]

I think poker all at once: reality is you can win, illusion always keeps you in good shape and just playing, you can have a good time

Poker can be seen as a combination of all three: an illusion, a reality, and a game. Let's explore each perspective:

1. Illusion: In poker, players create an illusion by strategically manipulating their actions, expressions, and betting patterns to deceive opponents. This illusion is often referred to as "poker face" or "table image." Players aim to project a certain image or narrative about their hand strength, bluffing tendencies, or playing style, often with the goal of gaining an advantage. The ability to create and unravel these illusions is an integral part of the game.
2. Reality: Poker is also rooted in reality, as it involves real money, real decisions, and real consequences. The financial outcomes and impact on players' bankrolls are tangible and have real-world implications. The decisions made during the game, the risks taken, and the outcomes experienced all have real consequences on the players' financial well-being. Thus, poker is not merely an abstract concept or a virtual experience but has real-life implications.
3. Game: At its core, poker is a game. It follows a set of rules and involves players engaging in a strategic competition with the objective of winning chips or money. Poker encompasses elements of skill, strategy, probability, and psychology, and players use their knowledge and decision-making abilities to outplay their opponents. Like any game, poker is meant to be enjoyed and provides entertainment value.

It's important to recognize that different individuals may have varying perspectives on poker. Some may view it purely as a game, while others may see it as a blend of illusion and reality. Ultimately, how poker is perceived depends on one's personal experiences, beliefs, and attitudes towards the game.
