I haven't played in so long but I don't see any reason why your average person should quit unless they just inevitably don't really play much. The fact that how much your playing for matters a lot. You don't want to gamble your life savings but if your playing with small amounts you shouldn't...
The fact that with most home games different players deal the cards and it's unusual to have a dedicated dealer unless it's some buy-in type tournament. Most people take turns dealing and playing too.
Probably online is much more difficult in my personal opinion. The fact that the possibility of cheating is there too. Live games rarely would have a cheater but online games could lead to huge losses if your hand is getting cheated. Sometimes even when playing pokemon tcg online users cheat...
I suppose you could play spades. It's been a really long time since I have but I used to play spades with a few friends down where I used to live. It's not too bad an alternative to poker except moneys not involved is the only downfall.
You don't want to reveal anything by facial expressions. Keeping your posture in tact and not revealing what type of hand you have with facial expressions is important. It may not tell everything but by the way your betting combined, sometimes it can lead to users folding too soon.
Billy the Kid is probably the most famous at swindling poker hands. Online play where people cheat I bet happens a lot. In person events is unlikely to have a cheater but these online games are sometimes very shady.

I used to play nickel dime quarter poker where the most you could usually win is like $30. I only remember losing streaks lasting maybe 2-3 nights but knowing when to hold and when to fold is important.
You can't let someone bully you out of a hand, yet at the exact same time you don't want to play with a losing hand so that's where strategy come into play.
No I definitely cannot trust poker sites like that, period. I bet they'd even ask for your social security number.
True, some places may be genuine but if you play a lot you want to avoid most online poker.
Never heard of a satellite tournament but most online poker is too hyped. If I played it, I would be guaranteed to get cheated so wouldn't want to play it often.
Tips would be not to let players bully you out of a hand but if your paying huge numbers based on turn or river draw, to just fold if the bet is high enough. If you have a decent hand dependent on how the competitor is acting you may stay.
