it is clear that the experience, the playing time, the tournament all played, hands played, the total FT that has reached this greatly influences the player's game, as he is more prepared every day to go through these situations. I do not know what to do with them, but I do not know what to do with them.

It may not help all the time but I’ll definitely say experience helps you look at spots in more than one way

Yes, experience helps you to make the best decisions, wait for the right time to call, fold, bet, etc. To me, experience is key

The answer to your main question is easy: of Course Not!

You can play Poker without experience, all new players do, must of them will loose of course, but If they pay the entrance fee or have a ticket, they will be playing poker without any experience.

Your next question about experience been a relevant factor, of course it is.

If you want to be successful in poker you need to practice and accumulate experience in every level until you can manage your bankroll and be a winner. :driver:

Over a year of playing yes in one session you could possibly run hot and it won't matter. If you're not playing and studying someone else is and they'll have a huge advantage

Poker is all about situations, what do I do in this particular situation given the information I have. Certain situations come up more often than others and it is in this way that experience is a relevant part of poker. If you come across a new line and review the hand better you may find a better way to play said line in the future, the more lines you've seen and reviewed the more situations you're ready to deal with when they come into play during a game. In this way more experience = more situations dealt with = better understanding of the game

the foundation of becoming a winning poker player is interacting with other players. There are always going to be players who know more than you and the best way to improve your game is to actively engage with them.

Having experience is one thing, but learning from it is quite another. You need to go back over situations, hands etc. and try and work out what you could have done differently to improve.

If I believe that experience helps to be a better poker player ... but it does not guarantee that you will win a tournament ... the experiences lived in difficult situations in determined hands ... helps to decide in a better way ...! It's a plus in the game of poker ... but like I said ... it does not guarantee that you will win a tournament ..!

Experience matters in every aspect of everyone's life! Some theoretical knowledge will not help to win chips!

Yes. The only way to get experience is to play. The more you play, the more you learn.

Experience is what we all learn from in any situation and poker is no different. You have to learn what beats what to even have a basic understanding and then move on to the fact that people will bluff to run you off a hand that you may have won with a weak hand. Then there are the different formats, rules or each house and players playing loose to tight and everything inbetween.

Yes, unless you want to rely solely on the cards you are dealt. Experience teaches you how to play the board in your favor also.

Experience you gain over time, what really helps in the beginning are readings of articles and video lessons on how to act in certain positions at the table with a few hands.

I believe poker experience is a factor to be more cautious and aware simply because as an amateur most of the time you only are concerned about your own hand strength.

With more experience, you get in tune or more aware about your opponents hand strength therefore avoid serious damage to your chip stack.

Experience is absolutely fundamental and relative to your game. What is more important is knowledge of the game. Understanding position, bet sizing. hand ranges. reading an opponent, bluffing, etc, etc, etc..... Study the game, read books, watch videos and apply what you learn to your poker experience and you will become a better poker player. Too many people on-line play without the knowledge and typically their experience is one of losing which is not a whole lot of fun. Grow your knowledge and your experience will be much more enjoyable!

Once youve covered which hands to play and have a basic knowledge of probability get out there and start seeing how different people play different hands. its also important to play in person so you can start to hear people talk through their decisions

Nobody becomes an expert at anything worthwhile without putting in some time. And just because someone spends 10 years doing an activity, will not necessarily make one a champion.

Absolutely, it gives you a big advantage over inexperienced players to build your stack with mediocre cards. Experienced players will use the raw players.

experience matters a lot, helps you recognize spots and play them better, which leads to more money earned, little steps lead to long term positive results and thus, you become a winning player.
