PokerStars: Real Poker or Roulette

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

You play the man across from you"

There might be something queer about a female poker player. She may excite wonder or interest, criticism or mistrust. Actually it's not easy to understand women, especially women in poker. But it makes them even more attractive, doesn't it?

My husband and me have nothing complicated in our relationships, as we got used to each other's unpredictable decisionmaking. Jokes aside, we just have a bit different playing styles in poker. He plays Texas Hold'em & Omaha, I prefer Hold'em. He plays tournaments as well as micro-stakes cash games, I choose rather the latter. We're both tight poker players, but his game is more aggressive (Alex makes higher bets, few calls and has many all-in hands).

You have big pocket pairs (Aces, Kings, Queens or Jacks),  or suited Ace-King, and find them the best starting hands for Texas Hold'em? Good news, you are right here. Bad news, it's not quite common for PokerStars, the fishiest poker site, where good pocket hand doesn't equal more bucks. Your opponent's hand range is much wider you can assume. To win with big pairs against offsuited fishes' hands, e.g. 7♣2♦, K♥4♠, 9♦3♣, appears magic-like. Just bad luck, something wrong with your play or an unfair poker room?

There're many comments on PokerStars service: "rigged", "scam", "not random","house always wins", and so on. Rightly so a lot of players call it 'JokerStars' or 'RiverStars'.

What's not clear with PokerStars:

• lengthy sessions of luck and bad luck;
• fortune favors fish;
• big stake rarely fails to win the pot;
• the 'nuts' on the flop often turns into a losing hand on the river. 

Poker room, unlike its players, isn't in need of luck. They always have 100 per cent cash in and never are out of pocket.

Playing real poker, as a matter of probability and odds,  could probably equal playing chess requiring great intelligence, experience and skills. But this is not an issue for online poker where a game is almost similar to roulette.
