One thing I know about poker, I have been playing for 50+ years and I can tell you without a doubt, that NE2CARDS can win a game, yes, there are dominant cards and flops, but what the other players are betting are predictable, very few players can resist betting with big hands, AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ and those hands are ahead preflop against lower hands, how many players are in the hand with big cards...I am inclined to believe the inexperience of players in some games will lead them to overplay a hand based on excitement for a big hand, but some players in MTT games shove early when they think they are going to play a very long tourney and risk it with A4, maybe, as I just did...ahead on the flop, 80% on the turn....lose on the river in a freeroll it hardly bothers me, right, the thing about cash games is they depend where they are played, on-line, casino or home game all have different variances to consider, most casino games have sharks on every corner waiting for the krill, home games are more friendly if controlled properly, on-line is very tricky and hard to read because of the lags and different connections, the sites are monitored, but hard to regulate computers and robots, careful where you play...Still if not dealing with cheaters, NE2CARDS can win.

Any (2) cards can win - you should remind to that all of these notsoadventurous people who only play strong hands (and then turn into Rage Monster when lose) ...

Also, NE2CARDS can lose. And in Omaha NE4CARDS do more often than not.

Hi.
I absolutely agree with you.
For myself, I tentatively divide players into two types. Poker players and bingo players. And it is obvious to me that a bingo player can sometimes also win.

I agree that every hand can win regardless of what you have in your hand, just as any hand can lose no matter how good the cards are. But whether it therefore makes sense regardless of which 2 cards you have to play is another question I think and also varies from person to person. And I think that no matter how everyone plays, as a poker player, you should simply respect that because regardless of whether they lose or win with it, it is their path that they have decided to take. Personally, I don't think it makes sense for me to play with scrap cards, but that people win with scrap have already seen several times, so there is the opportunity to win with scrap.

Any two can win, but it's how you play them that will make you a successful player.

I don't have any experience in live poker, but I know that there's so many factors in the game, that any two could win or lose any hand.

most casino games have sharks on every corner waiting for the krill
Sharks are no problems if you're able to turn into a Megalodon 😉
Speaking of Megalodon ..
An Austrian dude started to play PLO5 5/10€ last year in a state owned Casino, butchered the regulars there and went home with 40k in avg.
They banned him for life lol..
My only explanation is why they could do that is that some sharks there were sore losers and initiated the ban cause they know the owner..

My thoughts are that you can play any two cards the same as everyone else ( you paid your money just like them). Is it frustrating sometimes,sure but I believe if you get upset then you shouldn’t be playing after all at these stake’s it’s just a game.

You can win with any card at this poker! That is why all circumstances must be taken into account: position, bet, etc.

Totally agree. I have moneyed more tournaments
when I play the any 2 cards can win mindset, than ever have won with premium hands. All I need to set it in motion is to be the higher chip stack and the software takes care of the rest.

Over 50 years is amazing. Respect to you.
How much have you earned so far?
I agree. I noticed it in about 5 years.

I agree with you, any card is a winning one, especially playing 1 on 1 at the final table and I won my best 1st place with 58 and 53 in the last two hands, I remember ).
When everyone is playing with top cards, Babbitt is not so offensive.
