“... if you don't know how to play poker, don't learn.” Is it a good advice?

Ummmm, the fact that you are asking this question (unless you are trolling) means you NEED to learn more about poker.

I think what the author of the thread means is that once you learn how to play poker, you can't stop playing it, like an addiction.

So it's better not to learn it in the first place.

I think that the message is, if you don't know how to play poker, don't learn about it because you will get engaged in a roller coaster of emotions such as happiness and pain a lot of pain and frustration, so is up to you but I recommend, don't learn 😂😂😂

Wow, that makes sense. 🤔
Although the question still remains, if the author loves this game, why warn others against it. But even here you can come up with an explanation: if the author of the advice is a losing player and he himself is in debt and loans.🙊🙉🙈

I enjoy poker too much to not tell them what a fun game it is. If someone was interested in the game I would never discourage them, any more than I would if they showed an interest in shooting or reading. :)

it just tricky question, for me bad one, because you can apply such way to everything what involves some rules.

But if someone want to know more about subject, it always good thing.

It completely depends on the person. For some, poker is very good, but for others, poker can cause a lot of problems. Everyone has to know themself and make that decision for themselves.

Everything can be mastered, just with formula - time + desire + pursuit + discipline = success

Whoah! I'll have my author be anonymous. You have probably surmissed that it did not apply to me. But it got me to thinking... "if you don't know how to play poker, don't learn.” Is it a good advice? Is it like "if you don't smoke, don't start" advice? I smoke, I know its not good for my heath.

Could be something a parent would advise a child to spare him from the possibility of loosing hard earned money. Since not a lot of folks does succeed gambling in poker.

All are good points to ponder.

Everything should be studied. Not just poker. And if you don't study, you won't understand the essence of the issue.

The topic doesn't make sense, unless you want to say that if you learn to play poker you can never stop playing

By learning how to play poker, you can of course lose your hard-earned money. But at least now you will know where to look for them.:love:

It all depends on what your goal is. If you want to achieve good results, you have to study. If you are not interested in the results, then you do not need to study.

For me poker can be played without learning strategies and you can rely only on luck .

Actually, I think it makes sense, Good poker players want to play players who are not as good as they are so they can win more money. You don't want the bad players to learn so you can keep on winning.

Does this mean that when I ask you for advice, you will answer me: Masha, everything is fine with you - you don't need to study anything.🙈🙉🙊😆😆😆

Actually, I would be honest with you Masha. I like to help people and really love talking poker. I just can understand his point. That is just not my style.
