cuetime said:I guess if your more into luck than skill, poker is the game for you. In pool, you can't bluff a shot that you need to make, you either make it or you don't. Sure, you can blow a shot and play the husstle game. In Poker, you can have a "garbage" hand and "bluff your way to a win. Do you really believe there are more husstlers in pool than in poker? If you do, I can't believe you're really a player.
How many times have you been beaten with pocket Kings or Aces by someone that caught 3 of a kind on the river? That's luck!
There's skill and luck involved in every game. Many people enjoy pool, many people enjoy poker, quite a few enjoy both. It's unfortunate you've had such a bad experience with pool.
One thing is for certain. Many, many more people have been hurt playing poker. Casinos aren't making billions of dollars because players are winning big.
You mentioned that "pool is way worse than poker" but you didn't mention how. I'd be interested in hearing that. I'm also not sure of what point that I missed (other than the luck vs. skill part) I've heard of far more poker stories where someone has "dumped" games in order to "up" the ante. It's the history of the game.
I could be wrong, I'll check when I get a chance, but I believe that Pool is considered a game of skill and Poker is considered a game of chance. That about says it all. If I'm going to bet money, I want to rely more on skill than luck.
Both games offer entertainment, I don't think we have to choose one over the other. Why not enjoy both?
well first let me start by telling you poker in the red headed stepchild of the casino. you could put a dozen slot machines and make more money then poker. poker is the only game you dont play against the house. i have to say there are times in this discussion that i really dont think u know what ur talkin about.
ppl dont "dump games to up the ante" what are u talking about? in pool ive lost sets to keep someone around or double the bet. this doesnt happen in poker. sorry. also good players rarely bluff. its a sucker move and you get caught more than u win.
about looking with made hands kk or aa. thats the game. how many times have u shit a ball in and ran out or broke and didnt make a ball and the other player ran out. how about when u break and squad the rock and a ball kicks it in the side. there are a million things in both games.
