I nailed the A5 one-piece uniform, didn't take anything into account — but my interpretation was correct and the bluff almost worked. Poker is not always about winning. The main thing is acute feelings, the moment.

Poker is a game of luck and skill, and even experienced players do not always win.There is an element of short-term luck in poker, but unlike roulette or craps, players have more control over the outcome of any given hand because their actions, to some extent, determine the outcome.

Yes, there's a lot of excitement in poker, but we love it, which is why we keep coming back to the game.

I still remember my first year playing poker — so many emotions, both joy and rage. 😄
Every brutal bad beat made me feel like I was the unluckiest person in the world.
But over time, you start to understand how poker really works… and the emotions aren’t as strong anymore.
Still love the game, but now it’s with a bit more calm. 😉

That smile is a bit sinister, I have the habit of reliving yhe moment psychologically until I understand more about it. Fod example, J geg the feeling that my hand JJ with trips on the flop, with three consecutive cards, might be exploited in some very lucky spot for my oponent, but I still lose my trips to straight (not flopping or turning house unfortunately). This is normal and easily understood, but me smiling means I was right about my approach, just bad outcome.

I don´t like losing to some crazy guys shoving 10 3 offsuit.
