Sure, you can be the best player and can outplay anyone on the table, but if the cards don't hit for you, then you're screwed.


The question is, are you playing cards or are you playing poker? You don't need cards to play the latter.

It's always funny when some noobs show up in the league and they think they're bigshots because they've been playing online for five years and won all sorts of tournaments, then they play their first real game and get robbed blind because they only understand one dimention of it.

You can find me playing lower limits on Pokerstars alot of the time during the week (inbetween my work hours), been trying to resuscitate a small bankroll playing cash games that I pretty much lost on tilt two weeks ago lol.

Indeed, but there's alot more to it than bluffing. One time I sat at a table full of new or mediocre players who thought they were great. Often these kinds of players think they can read you like a book (but can't), and you can use that to your advantage. So I bluffed a bunch of hands and always showed my cards at the end. That got them to call me much more often because no one took it seriousely anymore when I bet. Then I switched to a more conservative kind of play, folded anything that wasn't figures. Eventually I hit two top pairs on a flop and made a fortune off it because everybody was calling me with weaker hands. That one big pot made up for all those tiny pots I'd been losing for hours trying to bluff them all the time. There was a small degree of chance involved in there, but mostly it was just a matter of giving everyone the wrong impression and then waiting for a hand to hit.
