Unfortunately no. Units turn a dream into reality. To earn by poker it is a dream? Right?)

I would like to share an older tournament with you because it has determined my relationship with the Pot Limit omaha poker variety for a lifetime.
Because of this competition, I consider this game as the first love of my adolescence, which, with its fulfillment, became almost indelible to my memories, which I would like to express with this four-line collection:It is a $ 2.20 Pot Limit Omaha race, where 81 people have decided (with me) to try their luck on that particular day.
The bolt or the curiosity in this regard is merely that so far I have not encountered Omaha-type competition in any space or time. (I would note in parentheses that at that time I even turned to me, I pushed aside one race in the big boost (of course later I found out that I did not regret it at all)).
So I switched in and smiled at the first hand and felt that I had four cards.
This is my inexperience when I first thought I was having trouble with the program, and then I looked at the Lobby and it was still a case that "miss click" did not happen for the first time.
Suddenly I did not know what to do, because I did not even guess what to play. I knew the name of the game, and I've heard that there is one, but nothing more.
Without a better idea, I started instant raising everyone and everything, with little exaggeration I could not even eat or drink Omaha. So a crazy run of mine started on my part ("just have to end with this insanity"), which left me to my surprise after half an hour for the chip leader position for me. For a hand-to-hand hand, the dealer put the chips in front of me, and the emotions began to flare up to the kind of card that had been beautiful in my eyes, and the point came when the flaming emotions grew so hot that the mere desire and attraction was no longer enough . I've got to know what she loves what she wants, because I know if I treat he So I started looking at my bookstore after my first poker book "Love", where I knew other poker games like Holdem, and almost Latin lovers how to cherish our "sweetheart" to give us the care.
There was a lot of chips, so the half-hour fast-paced (and the curiosity and desire to learn, to learn the rest of the tournament, led to 2nd place being the reward for $ 30 and a wonderful love "richer".
(Unfortunately, I can not serve specific handicaps because at that time I did not record anything about the "relationships" (tournaments), but I hope I have been able to pass on this memory of my wonderful conquest, if only on an emotional level.)
(Recommended for Dear Omaha: Thank you OMAHA in capital letters. Although it is when we get together and break our routes soon, but I always come back to you, because you are the first, the biggest ...)

Odds&Variance

Hi, the cuestion is what do you want..
Poker is a nice play, one that could be study and practice for going better. But you have to be persevering, patient and very applied for learn to understand your odds and make some money with them.
But variance is ever there.
You need to have hobbies, lover/s and a good alternative way to make money for the variance time. If you have bad luck and you start to lose, there is no more betting from there. That would be like being on the edge of an abyss and trying to step forward.
Going to my personal experience ... I spent many years (4 or 5) playing freerolls only. I won about $ 700/800. In a PP promotion they gave me a ticket for a tournament of $ 250K, I entered prizes and I won U $ S 625. Time, patience and ... luck! Now I'm playing at 888 S & G $0.10, 10 max. I have 50 tables and I'm winning $ 0.14.
Is poker profitable? It is a question that each one must answer.
Many greetings!

Before I start - I would like to thank you for having read my first (first) post as very worthy to read. Special thanks to the comments! - I'm confident I'm getting ahead of them. It's a lucky event for me I would like to share some thoughts with you! They say - and I think - poker is a lot of gambling, but a certain degree of knowledge is needed. Something I want to write down - but !!!! - what if I get billiards in a series but at least I know what my chance is - what are my opponents - how big is my bankroll - what my position is. I'm just sitting and looking out of my mind-and I'm looking forward to the miracle! , while we run out like a moon! I do not know if I can play poker - but only that I like it - but this is my race I do not think it was about knowledge - but my luck - if only a couple do not hang out - not about it I would have written it! So now I do not know which one has a bigger role! Thank you for taking the time to read these few lines. If you share your opinions with me - thank you separately.Have a nice trip!

I'm sitting in the middle field with about 20,000 chips to the end of the middle game. Before the 2nd break we're transplanted to our table, a player who has 1200. I get KQ. My embrace raises, gives and resumes to 1200, which all inn gives him.Keze treff 4-7, wins.I think he was lucky, there are those! With similar cards all inn-this is a few more hands and the table always comes with cards that he wins !. After the transposition of 4 -5. In the hand, I will be kicked against AK with my hand in 5-8.
This story is not new, I've been part of it for a few times. You wake up, you play well, no matter! This is just another addiction to what has happened to why it is not possible to play fair races in online tournaments!

I use to be profitable on full tilt many years ago. I felt than that I was winning a tourney almost every week. Now on ACR i feel like it's a different game. So many people are willing to just call of with any 2 and if you beat one of them, there are 20 more to take you out. I feel like the games are a lot harder to beat and so being profitable is really hard.

This is so true for a lot of poker players. It is very difficult to win against them. But sometimes I still manage to win

For me poker is not profitable yet because I do not have self-control.

I made $ 700 a few times, but I never paid a profit.

This year's partypoker Millions germany poker tournament was a very exciting ending, with Viktor Blom in sweden being in a very difficult position after Pavel Plesuv's bluff, but eventually he called all and won the party.The last hand of the tournament was interesting enough, but Plesuv started to play a flush after the turn, but the last lap was not worth it, so he could count only one pair of pairs, but he did not stop him from calling all int his opponent.At this point, Blom could think about anything, it could not be ruled out that Plesuv had put everything on the flush of flushes, but he would have been under an ace paw. Finally, after long thinking, he entered the game, which came to him and won the tournament with king pairs.

Not - At My Current Skill Level

OK, I must admit that at my current skill level, I cannot beat Texas Hold'em Fixed Limit games in Casinos!!
I just have not developed my skills quite well enough to gain the long-term winning rate I need.
Here is my dilemma. When I count in THE RACK, THE PLAYER PROMOTION POOL, and DEALER TIPS, a playing session of 3-4 hours is a losing proposition. Every decent pot in a small stakes, fixed limit game, rakes $4 and drops $2 (player promotional pool). If I win the hand (more than $10), the dealer gets a $1 tip, and sometimes $2.
All session long, money is going to the house, the player pool, and the dealer. Now and then a pile of chips (small, medium, or large), comes my way.
It seems I am being slowly drained.
This is not a complaint. I fully understand the economics of running a successful poker room and dealers earning a living. It just shows that I need to improve my game just enough to get over these ancillary costs of playing the game.


On the home game front, where there are no rake, drop, or tips, I am a long-term winner.


Back to the drawing board, the studies, the learning.

I lost a lot at the beginning of the year, for a while, you're leaving the table for a while, thinking about what you did wrong, making a mistake and trying to fix the bugs.

For me so far, too, is not profitable, but I hope that over time everything will change. I'm just learning this game.

Split Hold'em is a run it twice game, two flop, two turn and two streams. Accordingly, in most cases there are two winners for the party, one on the top and one on the bottom board, and the pots are distributed among them, but there is a chance that a player can form the strongest hand on both boards .The introduction of the game has provoked serious reprimands from more sophisticated poker players, since only a small edge can be formed due to the continuously split-down pots. Although recreational poker players stay in the game, rake is more likely to spend their money than the better opponents.

If you want to be a professional poke player.You do not just have to admit that you can not win every time you win, but also that cashing is not enough strategy alone. If you do not plan on it and do not experiment with it, how can you get the best results, make it difficult for your everyday life. Know when you will play when you're going to get out when you're going to give up when it comes time for analysis, learning, and fun. In short: you will need a precise play plan and a daily, monthly, yearly schedule.

This year, MI created another astonishing record, the DeepStack poker program defeated all professional players who protested against it. This was an important point in the history of artificial intelligence, because all the information (the opponent's cards) is unknown during poker, and the number of possible options is so high that it can not be analyzed. For this reason, the program had to develop its own intuition, which was able to detect, among other things, bluffs.
