Have you ever played poker? It may seem like a simple card game, but there is a good deal of psychology, game theory, and mathematics that go into being a winning player.
Poker is a good card game. There is a bit of statistical analysis that can be done based off of which cards are showing on the table that allows players to calculate their odds of having the top hand.
That is very interesting. Do you know if it can be "beaten" statistically over the long haul?
That is a neat fact about poker. Blackjack is another game that can be beaten in the long haul statistically especially if you are good at counting jack queen king and aces.
I heard that counting cards can get you into trouble if you are caught! Do you think it would be worth the risk if you were a skilled counter?
Big risk big reward. Like going all in on a hand in poker. Sometimes you got to risk it all to make it all. How high are the stakes you play?
I play 10/20 if there is a game available but during the week I'm stuck with 5-10. It can be har to put up with the variance sometimes.
Those stakes can add up over time. Maybe some day you will get your bankrol into the millions. Those are some crazy high stakes that the professionals play. Do you play online or in person?
I play both, but online I play lower stake tournaments, but I can play higher volume online since you can run up to 8 tables at once. Can't be at 8 tables at the same time in person!
That is amazing multitasking playing that many poker tables at one time!
