Message: [QUOTE="TheLulham, post: 2128730, member: 95875"] Good morning guys, Have not posted for a while as I have not been playing recently, My discussion is... Are there enough variables & complexities in Poker to gain a significant edge. Clearly in a game like Chess or Bridge there are millions of possible variations which and complexities within to allow players a HIGHLY significant edge. Look at the difference between a Grandmaster and a decent chess player they stand almost no hope of even drawing. I just wondered whether a clear and definite line can be drawn between a decent player and an expert player or is there a fairly small edge? There are obviously the Victor Bloms, Phil Helmuths Daniel Negreanus etc who you could say are grandmasters of the game. Judging that these players have 10s of millions in prize money there could perhaps be a significant edge to be gained from a 'DECENT' or 'GOOD' player. Is this line about 60/40 or greater? Look at how probably the most highly regarded player Ivey swept away Blom's chips in the high stakes match over many many hours. Clearly the key aspect of Poker is ability to read situations as accurately as possible and make the most mathematically probable decision. What I am really getting at is. Are there too many players these days with a GOOD enough understanding of poker for it to be too tough to get an edge. Or is the game RICH and COMPLEX enough to gain say a CHESS GRANDMASTER level of expertise. I want to know that poker is a massive step up from just gambling for this to be a worthwhile hobby and pursuit, Have you played against a player who is virtually impossible to read/play against? Thanks for reading please share your thoughts! [/QUOTE]
