Let’s not lie to ourselves. If you’ve played online poker anytime in the last two years, you’ve felt it. That strange moment when you felt when playing. You just stare at the screen like “Who is this?” Brother, it might not even be who, it might be what, meaning a robot is on the other end...
If a player is not in form, it doesn't always mean that their prime is finish forever. Babar Azam still plays good, sometimes confidence and team dynamics can affect a player. I’ve seen players look unstoppable one season, and next season, injury or pressure just weigh them down.
Cricket followers are very loyal. I don't understand the rules but anytime the World Cup is on, the energy everywhere is crazy. I can't compare soccer to any other sport.
The cricket match fixing story has been around for a very long time. Money in sports is too attractive for everything to be 100% pure. Even in football, we have see questionable VAR calls that make you smell match fixing.
I watch basketball too, especially the playoffs. Baseball doesn't really move me, it's too slow for my liking. Football is still the king no matter what..
Comparing LeBron to “just free kicks” already shows mix-up somewhere 😂 this is exactly why sports debates can destroy friendships. You may not like the media noise, but the impact is real. I remember 2016 finals, that comeback alone shook the whole world.
You are absolutely correct and I stand with you on this. Once a dealer starts suggesting to players, the table has already been compromised. Being neutral is part of his professionalism, anything else is against the rules of the game.
Watching a horror movie when it's raining sound like a great combo 😂 but that's when you can cope with the horror. I got into one and I nearly confess the sins I never committed. It was crazy.
PayPal can smile with you today and freeze your account tomorrow. I had a little money I got from freelance gig stuck for almost a week. I was refreshing every now and the. Crypto is very fast, no doubt, but that network fee can be too much sometimes too. But Litecoin is way better for recieving...
My brother, what you said about people overstaying when losing is the real problem. Your bankroll is like the oxygen of the game. I’ve seen one great poker player who reads everybody very easily, but once he’s down with two buy-ins, he started forcing hands. Before you know it, he has finished...
Live betting is great but it's not my thing. Last month I chased one “already winning” NBA game and they flipped it in the 4th quarter. My money just vanished like that. Live odds are very attractive but it's a trap sometimes
Tipping depends on the environment. If the service is smooth and the dealer is very professional, I have no doubt to drop something for the dealer. But tipping shouldn't feel forced. But if his attitude is poor, it would be so difficult to motivate him generosity.
This is so painful. Trust is everything for the table. Once dealers compromise, the whole integrity for the game collapses too. In poker, cheating is madness especially in this social media era. Your face will keep circulating the social media forever.
The regulation is good but government keeping their hands in gambling always comes with tax issues. I see how the betting companies here adjust their odds once the government policies change. If Virginia push this through, players will definitely reap the benefit.
Talent without discipline is just a cruise. I’ve seen guys read the table like an open book but blow their account in two weeks because they don't know how to manage their bankroll. Bankroll management is not sexy but it's a backbone of the game.
I wont lie, I’ve pictured waking up without checking the bank app her and there. That's when I have enough in it. No anxiety and I don't have to keep estimating money for food. But having a wealth fantasy is sweet more than reality sometimes.
I want the to simplify some of these overtechnical rules. New players are discouraged once they hear those long explanation. Poker is suppose to be competitive but still welcoming.
Poker today is not the same game at all. Before, it was a pure face reading, now it's about solver, charts and GTO . Even a novice with a laptop can outperform the old pros. That's what we got now.
The AI image is everywhere now. I saw people paying for thumbnails and that's awesome. Some results are clean, but others look horrible. The scary part is that some clients do not even care again, they just want fast results.
In my place, traveling to the countryside is a luxury. With the cost of fuel moving up, I rarely visit the country. The peace I experienced there is so sweet, no doubt, but the expenses now are huge.
