Does the Best Player Always Win?

[JOSEALBERTV]

Well, first of all, I see that the thread is already 2 years old, and as you say you were 16, therefore I assume that you played with people of the same age, which translates into a lack of studies, knowledge and experience, that is, you were playing with the sheep and not with the wolves, I would like to know what you think after these 2 years, if you still play, and to add a little more I can tell you that definitely the one who thinks he is the best player is not that he generally wins , It depends on many factors, variance, luck, number of players, if it is live or online, what I can tell you is that it has a greater advantage than the others because it has more experience and knowledge, and if it has constancy, neither Talking will surely be the one who generally dominates the table, but only one hand or another will be enough for that to change, greetings.

I think a good champion will always have more advantage, but that doesn't mean he will win.

I agree with many people that good luck is very important in life. Of course you must do your best to achieve something. But withoutg good luck it is very difficult to live.

 

[Joe1]

I think that it also requires a lot of luck and a lot of experience makes up for it ... you have to learn to play patiently and to be able to wait for the right moment

A best player is a player who doesn't tilt, has always a goal in mind and is confident to his victory

Hi, I'm 16 and think I've become a serviceable poker player, especially for my age. But I'm wondering if I'm the best player at my table should I win every time? I'd say I win about 7 out of 10 times in both my regular games and I'm wondering should I win every time? I just can't help but think since the pros like hellmuth and Ivey probably mop the floor with lesser players then that means I should. So I guess what I'm wondering is how often should I expect to win?

No, there is variance. Unless you never go all in on one hand.
Allowing you to make less mistakes and minimizing your profit as well.

Always remember that poker is a long-term game, you will only know its true results with a high volume of play.

In short, the best will not always win the tournament, because it is a short-term result, so it can vary.

No, sometimes the cards punish when nobody expect.

 

[Poker Orifice]

If the best player always won, nobody would ever play against me

 

[LitPavel]

I sometimes watch the game teampro in the tournament in which I play happen that they finish the game before me without getting into the prizes, once in a tournament with a re-entry one pro used all three attempts and he had 8,000 chips while I had 60,000 chips on the first attempt but this does not make me a better player. So to answer your question, the pros definitely don't win all the time.

All the advise in the world won't help you if your under age to gamble.. stop now

When you are a legal age to gamble, you should look at win ratio: bankroll. Bankroll management is the most important aspect of winning in Poker.

Definitely not, and thats the point of poker, thats why recreationals are playing

 

[chadstrats]

No

 

[Pokerpoet2]

Simple answer is NO! in any Game of chance there will always be an element of Luck!

 

[hcuervo]

In online games the good player does not always win, if he has a lot of possibilities in live games

 

[vnnby]

Any good player can lose in any hand, but not in the long run.

 

[Xambo]

Definitely not, luck also plays a role.

 

[partz]

Yes we do. On a long term always is profitable

 

[WHAKAORIORI]

Not if they are getting 92 off suits lol can’t do much with that. The cards are the biggest part in poker obviously not the player . Love a good bluff chip builder

 

[manuela2910]

No, the best player doesn't always win, so good luck is required.

 

[CKALLDAY]

My answer is similar to some others that no, the best player doesn’t always win, but cash games represent a better indicator of skill in the short term, and it’s possible to win quite often at them if you choose the right table, or happen to know the perfect home game to attend.

 

[Rob Hobson]

Of course, not.

 

[barbados]

There are different ways to be a better player. For example, you can become the best in the tournament. You can be the best at bluffing. Or be the best at drawing games with a weak hand. And you can be the best just because you want to be. Joke.

 

[DIANTA]

A little strange question. But, ok, we live to learn.
Theoretically, if it was possible to determine the best player, then at a considerable distance he will always have a positive value win (not volume maybe), as long as he remains the best.

Poker is all about the correct addition of combinations and, of course, luck.

If the best player always won we wouldn't have so many "top" players with the perceived best player changing year on year.
