Why i play at Pokerstars.com !

In my day to day life people always ask me why i took up gambling and i always tell them i don't gamble, I play poker !

Now if your a poker player you will understand the above statement, if not, let me try and explain.

Poker is a game about percentages, if you toss a coin it's 50/50 to land heads or tails, if you toss that coin 1000 times percentages say it should even out, ok we all know that it ain't gonna be 500 heads and 500 tails but i'd say it wouldn't be far off

BUT ! each time you flip that coin it's still 50%

Poker is the same, if you continue to get your money in with 60/40 shots or even 80/20 shots the percentages will work out that you come out on top.

thats the easy part, the hard part to poker is making sure when you mention those words " I'm ALL IN " that you are ahead and then it's up to the poker gods

which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill
