Is there really a right or wrong way to play poker?

That's a good question. And the answer is yes. There is a correct way to play Poker!

There is luck and there is Unlucky. The two want to be your partners in the game
In each round you will be dealt two cards (or more, depending on the version of Poker).
So who's with you, luck or Unlucky?
Luck is a treacherous friend.
Unlucky wants to destroy you.
Then comes the third element: Skill.
She will reach your ear and whisper softly who is next to you. Lucky or Unlucky. She will give you advice, always speaking softly:
-...Fold...,
-...Limp....,
-...Call...,
-....Raise...,
-....Tri-Bet...,
-...All-in...
-...Respect the opponent....

But she always speaks softly and you have to be attentive to hear what she tells you. Because there is a fourth element that makes a lot of noise and ends up muffling the sound of the Skill:
The Ego. He screams in your ear:
-THIS HAND YOU HAVE IS INVINCIBLE!
-HE IS BLUFFING!
- YOU CAN'T GIVE UP THIS KK!
...

So my friend, stifle your Ego. Learn and listen to the skill. And you are 70% more likely to win. The other 30% is not under your control, as you are not playing chess.

I know this question might really sound stupid. But listening to different poker players telling you to play like this, play like that, play this card don't play that card. Limp with this hand, don't limp with that hand. Raise with this hand or go all in. Follow this poker chart cause I always win. It gets to the point where you kind of shutoff poker coaches or players in general. The one thing I learned in my poker journey from watching the pros and trying out things is you have to play according to your situation and do what works for you. If it means playing with any hand or playing with very very little.

The main reason I ask this is what really is the right way or wrong way to play when everybody has their own style. Rather its tight or aggressive. Some players even play with weak hands that people wouldn't dare bet the farm on and still win. Poker is a game of personality some people play certain low value hands that represents something significant in their life like a close ones phone number, social security, birth date numbers, jersey numbers etc.

Limp with this hand, don't clean with that hand. Raise with this hand or go all-in. Follow this poker chart because I always win. It gets to the point where you kind of close down poker coaches or players in general. The only thing I learned in my poker journey from observing the professionals and trying things out is that you have to play according to your situation and do what works for you. Whether that means playing with any hand or playing with very, very little.

The main reason I ask this is what really is the right or wrong way to play when everyone has their own style. Instead, it's tight or aggressive. Some players even play with flimsy hands that people would not dare bet the farm on and still win. Poker is a personality game, some people play certain low-value hands that represent something significant in their lives, such as a nearby phone number, social security, date of birth numbers, jersey numbers etc.
