Do you believe that perfection in the game is possible?

Which would be the hypothetical perfection in terms of decision-making and reading opponents?
How close can a player get to 100%.

And in your opinion, which elite players are closest to the perfect game in your opinion?

IMO, achieving perfection would mean playing, at least, exploitative to every single player, which is probably impossible considering there are many players at a table and you’d want different raising frequencies to Taylor to every playing style. But, perhaps, you could determine the ”close to perfect” raise frequency considering what you know.

But then there’s always fluctuation in how opponents call or raise and some might just improve or something. But let’s say all that can be known is known, then that might be perfect,

I don't know any elite players, so I can't say anything about their game. In general, in my opinion, perfection can be achieved by playing live. But online poker will always be a combination of skill and luck. Online poker is more similar to casino games than we might think.

...nothing is perfect, but it can be very profitable in the long run... studying and practicing is always the best strategy.

Why do you say that? What is the difference between online and in-person poker, the number of games?

What does this have to do with luck or casino games?

I think that professionals are constantly improving their game. Good players do not guess a specific hand, but determine probable combinations and narrow their range. I really like the way RaiseYourEdge plays - I often watch his streams

"Perfection" is not nessesary to beat the micros. Start by taking the CC 30 day course, which I linked to in your other thread.

There is nothing perfect in this world - that would mean a stop in development.
It is more important, I think, to get satisfaction from your game in all its aspects, improving it and achieving new heights and results.

Every time you sit down at a table, you must believe that you are the best player at that table. If you don't think so, then find another table!And the only thing that will help you get through all these thorns is a rock-solid confidence in your abilities.Another psychological barrier that most low stakes players create for themselves is that they over-glorify high stakes players and give them an almost divine status. As if they are some kind of superhumans.In poker, we see a lot of superstars come out of nowhere in relatively short periods of time, and while they may have slightly higher IQ than the average person, they are far from naturally gifted.

I don't think so, it's very complicated, different people with different thoughts and crazy thoughts hahaha, but for me the people who are closest to perfection are ROMULO (Brazilian player) and ZEROS (Spanish player who has recently been winning several big tournaments)

I think there is no such thing as a perfect game in the long run. Luck will always make its own adjustments, if not in a week then in a month. The main thing is to just enjoy the game and have fun with it :)

Many pros excel in both live and online poker.
So this is obviously a missconception.

But to answer OPs original question , No I don't think anyone can play a perfect game always.
Nobody is perfect.

I don't believe that perfection is possible in a game like poker. But in general, it all depends on what you consider perfection. If a stable income from the game is perfection, then yes, such perfection is possible. If we talk about the 1st place in all tournaments, then no, such perfection is impossible :)

I belief in momentary perfection. But considering the game evolves on a daily basis. the perfection is only temporary

nobody can achieve perfection in poker, or he/she would be winning all the time. No one has done it so far.

I think online is more difficult. It's too difficult to exploit opponents.
