Poker is very much a guessing game, just like a psychic predicting the future.

Unlike psychic predictions, which are based on intuition or speculative methods, poker requires a significant amount of skill and strategic thinking. Players must understand the rules, hand rankings, and odds. They make decisions based on the probability of certain hands, the behavior of other players, and their understanding of game theory.

I do not agree with your statements that poker is a guessing game!!! For playing poker, mathematical calculations are much more important than extrasensory abilities or the ability to predict the future!!!

A Psychic answer's her door and a Couple of guys are stood there, "We are from the Police, Do you know why we are here?" "No!" replies the Psychic
"Then we are sorry, we must be at the wrong Address!":):)

0546474 don't tell stories that poker is not a losing game, for example if you have KK and you go all in and 3 players go all in, is it not a losing game?
its 100 % guessing game

I think so. But with many technical nuances.

No, being lucky and doing guesses is not particularly the same. Bets are made to balance chips from one to another. You can make someone fold or call at several streets, and same goes to them. So the actions themselves separate this card game from only guessing.

Since we have all the decisions to make, if poker wasn't a tecnique game, then all studies the champions made were for nothing

certainly not, poker is a people's game and we will never know 100% but the good news is that we don't need to know 100%, we need to know enough to get a good reading of the opponent and the hand!

Not only guess, but also look at how players play on the table!

This is not always the case, you can make decisions based on probability

There is no one born who knows the whole future, so we will never learn poker 100%
You will never learn poker 100% if you don’t give any effort towards learning it at all.
The unknown factor of poker is what makes poker a great game to play.

the only guessing part of the game is guessing what your opponent has.

If I played well and have more chances to win, then this is not a losing game!!! It’s certain that I won’t be able to win every hand with KK, but I’ll still be in the black in most cases!!!

In this life, you can’t be 100% sure of anything; there are always unforeseen situations. It’s the same in poker, a bad beat can always happen. But in poker, through skill and experience, you can minimize this failure and completely control the game, except in some cases. What makes poker so interesting is that practically everything depends on the player and his actions. You can fold at any time (as players in clubs in our city say, “a fold is not a mistake”), you can bluff, you can play passively on the nuts so that your opponents cannot read you, in general there are quite a lot of options playing your hand. The main thing is to believe in success and go towards your goal, and if someone does not believe, then it is better for him not to play poker.

And then you're wrong, here at Cardschat there are full of Geniuses who predict the future, and call with any rubbish hand, because they know which cards will hit the table.😁🤣🤣

Hi there

Not really
You have certain chances if you get AA or KK pre flop
Then you dont have to guess the future of your hand which has a great possibility of a win
Should study more poker

poker is numbers, mathematics and probability theory, if you are not familiar with this, then of course everything depends on luck, so you can talk about physical phenomena and say it’s all God’s doing

I was thinking that the best prediction is about making the right decision, the rest seems like speculation in the face of chance.

In poker, you need to be able to assess every game situation correctly.

Correct, but that would make for a very boring existence. Although, there can be an argument that one can learn all there is to know about the game, minus the run-out, imo. That's why poker is a skill game. What we can't know is how every player is going to bet/react to the game. It's also the main variable which constitutes a gambling aspect.
Experience will always prevail in the long run. I know that's cliche but it's also the truth.
