Logic or intuition?

It´s logic. Because all card games are definite.
But, I see many dramatic modes on Pokerstars.
For example, I had 3d4c & the other player had QdJd.
The flop was As2s5h.
I set a straight & put all-in & the other player called.
Turn & river were Tc & Kh.
It´s dramatic mode. However it´s very slight possibility. Because poker is definite.
 
logic in the game comes first because all actions in the game are based on mathematics, and intuition as a fallback sometimes helps.
 
I think that intuition and poker don't mix very much.
It is a decision-making game based on calculations and probabilities.

It seems that you can study rules, strategies, money management and everything except intuition. It's something like a gift from nature.

Is it possible to play successfully with strategy and statistics skills while not having intuition? And how can you develop your intuition?

I think it does, intuition and logic are two determinants of what can be done, well developed can have significant representativeness.

Strategy and statistics are okay for pros and book readers on the subject of poker, however, that will never compare to INTUITION. Intuition does not come from Nature; and the Law of Gravity does not come from there either. GOD has given Man (Woman) these gifts as well as Common Sense. We do not all use our common sense and we do not all Listen to our Screaming Intuition! Those that take time to listen to the Whisper of their Intuition are Gifted in Listening. GOD bless you all.
 
Honestly the ideal answer would be logic, but I prefere to fail with my instinct than refuse my instinct and get unlucky
 
In my opinion logic, intuition and luck based on a lot of practice and experience! All these factors make the game!

Make your own intuition

I think that if you have no intuition you should add math to your villain notes.

Which hands do they play from a certain position? Enjoy while you're not playing to watch.

Then make notes and create your own "intuition" based on the villain's profile. Believe me, it works well.

Now, really in the micro limits, there is not much to trust because the villain can have both bad and good hands. You have to look more at how he bets.:jd4:
 
I think every poker player should have a logical mindset.But the most important thing is the ability to read the cards of your opponents.This is not given to every player. But a good professional poker player will win because of this quality.There is no bad card for him.He reads them by twitching every muscle of the opponent's face, and of course visual memory is important here.
 
Many games.More analysis over the game.Your intuition will come to you!You need to learn more and more every day.Opening the framework everything becomes clear and you become higher than you were before.A lot of training will lead you to results.Try and find out for yourself where the truth is where the lie is where the bluff is where the NATs is
 
I think it will depend on the type of game, whether online or live, and in the case of online it will depend on the level at which you are playing. But still, I believe that in the low limits, in some plays you can read.
 
feeling, intuition in my opinion are linked to the logical skill developed through study and training, in poker intuition is perhaps an automatic attitude that a skilled player performs
 
The more I play online poker, the more I become convinced that intuition plays an important role in the game.
Only a large number of games helps to develop intuition in online poker, experience allows you to understand some things that are inaccessible for understanding without skills.
 
No to loose, the logic is important.
To win, the intuition is necessary.

I think that poker has a lot of intuition.. But is very very difficult to use the intuition when you play with the computer..

It's different if you can feel the cards and your opponents in the flesh
 
That is a very interesting question. I think having good intuition is very beneficial - but you can still play reasonably successful with just good strategy in the beginning.

It is definitely something you would want to develop as you go and I think just paying very close attention to the players at your table and being focused helps a lot.
 
My opinion on intuition is, intuition is your subconscious trying to tell you something your conscious mind doesn't know. So yeah, starting out no one is going to have good poker intuition. It's basically the same as logic, the only difference is what level you're having the thoughts on.

I think it is possible to play successfully with, as you say, strategies and statistics. But takes a lot of study and practice and coaching. Which is why the vast majority of players struggle to build a bankroll...it's hard work and requires constant tuning to plug any leaks in your game. Most players who do well in poker, though, combine poker logic with intuition.

Intuition is one of those 'extras' packaged with your brain and body when you were born. You don't develop your intuition...it's already there in full bloom. What you need to develop is an awareness that you have it. Have you ever sat thru a string of unplayable hands where you just keep folding and then voila, the next hand appears and there;s a tiny little voice, so quiet you can't really hear it, that says play this hand. But then your logic brains no...my position sucks or the hand just won't work and you fold. And then you watch the board play out and realize you would have won a big pile of chips.

That's intuition giving you a wake up call. It doesn't ring often but when it calls...listen.
 
Yeah, the logic part is easy, all it takes is learning the game and playing as much as possible. Not using or even recognizing intuition when it comes around can be detrimental to your bankroll. The more I play the more I pick up from the players as they bob and weave in the orbits. Eventually each game is just about the same and logic along w/experience I find the right time to go w/my intuition; usually when I have 50+ BB's and find a 76-std in the cut-off facing a re-raise. Aaaaaahhh... man, I love poker.

i believe that intuitionis the most impartant part in poker.Although you must follow some logic and go with the higger chances sometimes it is more important to follow your instincts and when it matters more it is where it blossoms
 
Logic and intuition are as different from each other as they are necessary. Both are necessary at different times of the game .... it is a good player to know which one to listen to at each moment. Regards.😉

It's possible to improve your math, logic, analysis experiencee but the question is - is it possible to improve your intuition? Is there any strategy for that? It seems that there is no chance to improve it if you aren't born with it.
 
Intuition is not trained, it is true, but I don't know how real it can be, maybe sometimes you get it right but many times you don't, many times I think my intuition saved me but many other times my game
