Texas holdem.. A game of skill or a game of chance?

People say that poker is a game of chance, and they don't play. I disagree.

I say, it's a game of strategy. Knowing your opponent, and getting a feel what they are thinking is a great rush. Like chess, but calling them out on their hand and watching their eyes quiver when they have been duped.

A good player plays with their chips stack, and leads the others into that battle.

When at the final table, you can reap the rewards if you are patient enough.

Good players understands this and will capitalize from others greed.

For me, it is an ultimate game of waiting and being the Tiger in the forest to pounce on it's victims.

Legends like Phil Ivy and Dan N. are masters of strategy. Don't for forget Phil Laak. My hero.

The world of Texas holdem is by far a great way to enter the minds of your opponent. And dominate them lol.

Long live holdem....

I played few months on pokerstars. learned a lot and used for my help some poker program to analyse my gameplay like( pokertracker4 holdemmanager2). Poker it.s a good game similar to real life

Yes, so true.... Reading peoples bullshit and calling them out on it. I certainly agree. :)

Totally agree I love Texas holdem that's my game . I know a lot of people who are online poker millionaires lol but when they come to the poker room at the seminole hard rock they realize it's a different beast all together it's a game of a little bit of luck and a little bit of skill for sure.

I was there once, in Tampa? I agree. @potorcirian got to check out @spl steem poker league

I've never been to the one in Tampa I was talking about the one in Hollywood in Broward County . seminole hard rock Hollywood
