Well <3 I am an odd duck lol and I of course, chose other option :)

I can mentally make a hand stop working on someone. Temporarily, no damage done but quite effective. If I can see you, I can use it.

Thank you for asking me to explain :) lol

I have basically only played one live game. Never been to a casino, only played with my 3D friends :) and from what I gathered from listening to everyone, is that the sound of people playing with their chips is deafening.

I really want to play a live game but to hear that might be like water torture to me. I will rely on my game after that as long that is covered lol <3 lol Great question :)

The first option is the only logical step to take.
Go all-in on every hand, always win, and eventually you'll have all the chips every time.
but everyone would stop messing with the chips <3 I would like to politely tell you that is ridiculous. Clearly I am right :p jk lol <3

Haha, nice point.

I was also wondering we need to define the term "flip" and until the win is guaranteed. Like only 55/45. Or also 60/40. Clearly it can't work for any combination. 🤓

But ofc I also chose this option.

Today, I could have used it when the preflop action went exactly how I had planned when they put me all-in with QQ against AJ but ofc the A was the first card to come on the flop. 🤣

This may sound funny, but if you know your opponent's exact range in the hand, you'll probably have a good idea of whether your aces are good and how the flip might end. :cool:
Oh. I didn't fully think about that before I chose flips and Aces options. :LOL: Should have read your post first! :D

Nahh...it would only be that loud if it were a huge tournament, like at the wsop. It's a huge room filled with dozens of tables and players, so yes, I imagine it's a little ridic there. But in a standard cardroom on a normal day, unless we're talking like The Commerce or The Bike, or some big room like that, it's not bad at all. At least in my experience.

I am still keeping it <3 lol I think it would be fun, PLUS watching their chips fall and them being embarassed would have its perks too.

On a more serious note (loool when do I say that), I would not want those powers. I think it would make poker a really boring game for me. It would be sad to break the greatest card game out there.

I'll be able to see my opponents' cards on a level of telepathy. But my superpower will require special fuel. My fuel will be a beer! Drinking 0.50 liters of beer, I will be able to see my opponents' cards for exactly 3 minutes. Funny superpower: either I'm sober but playing by the rules, or I'm completely drunk but in the prize zone. :ROFLMAO:

It's strange, I love the sound of the chips. I can even do the chip trick of flipping 3-4 chips in one hand. But yeah, I've been playing offline tournaments for a long time, even before the worldwide coronovirus epidemic. :)

If I had won every flip since I started playing poker, I would've been a millionaire by now. And that probably goes for most of you. Maybe you can guess what my choice was!!

Hi :)
I would definitely choose - Always Win Your Flips. This superpower would be enough to make poker my main source of income.

If I had one poker-related superpower, it would be the ability to instantly read opponents' emotional states without giving away that I have this knowledge. This power wouldn’t tell me their exact cards, but it would provide valuable insight into their confidence, uncertainty, or bluffing tendencies. It would allow me to make more precise decisions, better time my bluffs, and know when to fold, call, or raise. It’s like having a supercharged intuition that would give me a constant edge without making the game too easy or predictable.

That would be cool :)
In fact, I think it's all I need to quit my job I hate and play poker all day long.
