Best poker club casinos?

[chupawhat]

In my opinion, poker, like other skill-based games, has many different variations. From what I’ve observed, an amateur player will always have a low RTP. I think the pace of the game is slow. But there’s a dangerous element here, which, in my view, is the strong illusion of control. Everyone seems to know that club poker is one of those gambling games where, theoretically, you can make consistent money, and I believe that’s what draws in professional players. This, in my opinion, acts like a magnet for casual players, and based on what I’ve seen, the high volatility leads to random wins, further feeding that illusion of control. However, from my perspective, most casual players don’t realize that poker is, in many ways, a far more complex game than chess.

1. What are your thoughts?
2. Do you play poker club?
3. Are you a professional player?
4. Do you earn money or just play for fun?
5. What casinos / poker rooms did you choose and why?

Thanks

As a semi-pro player, I can confirm that poker is indeed complex. The illusion of control is real, and it's what keeps many casual players coming back. I've been playing for years, and it's taken a lot of study and practice to become profitable.

I play recreationally at PokerStars. It's more for fun than profit, but I do enjoy the challenge. The complexity is part of what makes it exciting for me.

@chupawhat You're spot on about the illusion of control. I've seen so many casual players lose big because they think they've "figured it out" after a few lucky wins.

I make a living from poker, but it's not easy. It requires constant learning and adaptation. For casinos, I prefer PartyPoker for their tournament structure.

I'm just a casual player, but I've learned to stick to low stakes to keep it fun without risking too much. PokerStars is my go-to as well.

@Ben.666 How long did it take you to become profitable? I'm considering taking it more seriously but I'm not sure about the learning curve

I think the complexity is overstated. Sure, there's a lot to learn, but with some basic strategy and discipline, anyone can become a decent player. I play on 888poker mostly.

@ericM I respectfully disagree. The basics are easy to learn, but mastering the game takes years. That's why pros can consistently make money.

I play for fun on GGPoker. Their software is great and they have a good mix of recreational and serious players.

@chupawhat To answer your questions:

1. I agree with your analysis.
2. Yes, I play online and in clubs.
3. Semi-pro.
4. I earn money, but it's not my main income.
5. I use PokerStars and PartyPoker, mostly for their large player pools and variety of games.

Anyone tried the poker rooms on crypto casinos? I've heard good things about SwCPoker.

I've played on SwCPoker. It's good if you're comfortable with crypto. The games are softer than on mainstream sites, in my experience.

I stick to home games with friends. Less pressure, more fun, and no worries about online security.

@forkillla That's cool, but you're missing out on the thrill of big tournaments! Nothing beats the excitement of a deep run in a major online event.

I play on PokerStars, PartyPoker, and GGPoker. Each has its strengths. PokerStars for traffic, PartyPoker for promos, and GGPoker for software.

New player here. Is PokerStars good for beginners? I'm worried about getting crushed by pros.

@denjiikun PokerStars is fine for beginners if you stick to micro stakes. Just be prepared to face tough competition as you move up.

I've been playing on Unibet Poker lately. It's smaller, but the games are softer and they have some unique features to make it more fun for casuals.

Any thoughts on the best site for Omaha? I'm getting a bit bored with Hold'em and want to branch out.
