When people ask me about poker, I usually say it’s a lot like solving small problems over and over again. You never have all the information, so you make the best decision you can.
 
Explaining poker to non-players is harder than we think. Once you mention money, they immediately think of a casino addict. I usually tell people poker is basically psychology, patience and probability mixed together.
 
I tell them, you need a little bit of luck and a lot of skill
 
I am not very good player, therefore, I am not in a position to give advice to other players. However, I can give few tips to newbies based on my experience. I tell them to learn technicalities and also control their emotions.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
