Message: [QUOTE="blikbleek, post: 1776344, member: 82692"] "poker is a game of skill" - that is true, but mostly for live poker, and hardly for online poker. online poker is, at best, a game "with" skill, because total donks can, and do, win a lot of money online. therefore skill is helpful but not a requirement for winning poker. sure a donk can win live games also, but he will naturally provide easy, even subtle reads to more experienced opponents. i recommend to anyone struggling online to give a shot at live games. i say this because a week or 2 ago i got fed up with online crap and went to AC over the weekend. i sort of donked my first day but the next day i tripled my total bankroll. some guy shoved on me when i had middle 2 pair. online i probably would have folded easy. but when i stared him down i saw a bit of nervousness, i called and took down the pot. I came back home and made a deposit online, feeling good, and the online BS isnt over. its not rigged, but online there are donks-a-plenty, and its harder to read them for the donks they are. for every good hand you have, there is always a donk to call and deliver a bad beat. they say online you see more bad beats because you play more hands more quickly. yea, thats true, but online it seems people are more willing to shove hoping for a suck out, or maybe they misread you. either way, it seems there are too many donks online(at least at low levels). if your struggling, try live. i havent played much but it didnt take too long to get a good grasp on it, and i played extremely well once i did. i wasnt even hot, i played smart and patient and it was very enjoyable, even when i didnt win hands.
