I hope that all gambling companies will introduce Texas Hold'em projects in the future, but not just simple virtual poker games or computer-generated games like Golden Flower and Bullfighting. I find these games too artificial, similar to electronic slot machines. There is no pattern, no probability, and playing for an extended period only leads to losing money due to house edge.
As someone who has been involved in gambling for over 20 years, I no longer believe that I can beat the house. Continuing to play will only result in losing money due to the house edge. Not to mention many games with backends that can cheat. Of course, mainstream gaming platforms are generally fair.
However, even in fair games, if players lose control of their emotions, collapsing after losing five times in a row or even ten times in a row, even if it's an automated betting program, over time, they will still lose all their money. That's why I only believe in games where real people play against each other, and one such game is Texas Hold'em poker. The house only provides a service fee for drawing money, and the winner wins money from beginners. Professionals take advantage of beginners; that's the fairness of Texas Hold'em, provided all players are real participants.
Many people might say, 'How do you know if the opponent is a robot or a real person?' After playing for a while, you can quickly tell whether the opponent is a real person.
Talking about the earning potential of Texas Hold'em, that is, why professionals can take advantage of beginners, there are several points:
Stable mindset: Professionals remain calm and rational regardless of how much they lose in a single hand. A new round begins, and their mindset resets to a new state of calmness and rationality. On the other hand, beginners, after a significant loss, tend to go all-in in the next round, even with weak hands. If you have a good hand, you can take advantage and win.
Mature skills: A professional's skill level is not achieved after playing 1,000 or even 10,000 hands. Personally, I play at least 8 hours a day, simultaneously at least 6 tables. I can guarantee one game per minute, 60 games per hour, 480 games in 8 hours. In three years, that's around 500,000 games. After playing for such a long time, encountering opponents for more than 5 rounds, I can gauge their level, style, and develop strategies to beat them. So, skills are also cultivated over time.
Patience: The probability of getting a good hand in Texas Hold'em is low. Even if you have a good hand, the community cards that follow might turn it into a bad hand. Patience is crucial in waiting for a good hand and even more patience in waiting for the right opportunity to capitalize on it.
Caution: A distinctive feature of beginners is that when they get AA or KK as starting cards, they tend to go all-in. Even with AA, the winning probability is only about 40%. Professionals patiently wait for the community cards to appear, knowing that many combinations can beat AA. Even with a strong 3-2 combination, professionals will fold if the opponent raises. This cautious approach is why professionals avoid significant losses.
The above points are my summary over the past three years. Those who have played Texas Hold'em or want to learn from this text may find some insights. |
