Do you play using the statistics or do you play by feel?

Diman111 · May 6, 2025

For the most part, we still rely on statistics, but let's not forget the feeling

Pulse_69 · May 6, 2025

First I play on the map, watching the players at the table, then about 20% statistics, and 70% of the game between myself and my opponent. Statistics show the broad picture, so you need to decide how to play by watching your opponents.

Zero percent bean counter statistic. 100% guts. Guts that is rooted in experience and proven intuition.

I play relying on my own experience and skills, and sometimes my intuition also helps me. I generally believe that the more experienced a player is, the more developed his intuition is.

I only see the statistics of one hand when I'm there in hahaha, most of the cases it's intuition or tactics that I've learned from other people who play poker professionally and from how I see the player at the table (aggressive or passive)

I play by feel, because it feels more like a game then and I do not want to make the effort to learn all the math behind the choices. I do think that using stats is the better option to be a winning player though.

dont have a hud and dont play enough to make it worthwhile but if i did i would invest in a hud.
if its showing the exploitable tendencies of the opponents thats pretty much like the accumulated knowledge of how your home game players play and a distinct advantage.
that being said i think instinct and experience still mean more.

I play only on the flop and according to the situation as Albert Einstein said science is the head of everything joke of course I don't know if he said it but it sounds nice

Never studied the stats...but that doesn't mean that I ignore them.

odonob · May 24, 2025

Feel for me always. I like to play by natural intuition.

nah man.. to me I like to know if you're actually a maniac, never fold to a 3bet or never call one..

Toruk Makto · May 25, 2025

I use both a lot...

Colbefc · May 25, 2025

Feel always, I have Holdem Manager and Poker office and to me they just get in the way.

lyki67 · May 26, 2025

I look at cards and count possibilities but I play on feel too.

hajaehyun · May 31, 2025

Statistics are important, but I don't rely too much on statistics; then my opponents get a good sense of me.

antttte · May 31, 2025

Old school style!
1st just get to know how program and statisctic works So you have a opinion how todays player/regs play. when you get it, use it against them!
2nd Always look after highest avg pot!
3rd scout whos giving away free money!
4th Look how the nits act against them and make up a plan!
5th Dont be shy to play hands when ppl are giving away for free. otherwise someone else will take it!
6th And remember Table selection is important!

valeski 28 · May 31, 2025

I have never used any kind of statistic softwares and I don´t think I wil do it now.I trust more in my intuition during my poker sessions

RALF_AK · Jun 1, 2025

...I don't like using HUD...I prefer to read the opponent according to the plays and the cards revealed...I developed a good technique in this regard, including when I play live...

bem te vi · Jun 1, 2025

If the site provides my opponent's statistics, yes.

makisaa · Jun 1, 2025

Feel, judgment are needed also for the game, along with maths. All of them are improving our skills.

Vlermuissop · Jun 1, 2025

You need to play by Stats most of the time and go with gut some time. 90/10 I will say

ramdon p358 · Jun 1, 2025

I play by intuition, I also try to observe a lot what the other players do to try to make the best decision in each hand

olejean · Jun 1, 2025

What can be the statistics in online poker, that will help?! None!
Just a feeling!

Nemamiah · Jun 1, 2025

I have no option than use my intuition cause I suck very hard at mathematics and I have not learn yet how to calculate them yet, but I will get there one day

I don't know any players who rely on feelings and still make money steadily and regularly. But I do know players who rely on their skills and thanks to this, poker is a constant source of income for them.

Do you play using the statistics or do you play by feel?
