Pool$ vs Poker?

[Island Drive]

Which demographic with equal skill levels wins more often.
I'm saying the green felt on top of slate wins in this area.
They may not be betting as much but.
Who's your pick?

Huh?

I read that 5 times and still don't understand the question.

WTF? Are you bored and stoned to come up with a ineptly worded observation about nothingness?
OMG, get a friend, cat or dog because you’re expressing thoughts that are worthless and worrisome.

bill, the frequency of wins just depends on the weakness of opponents.

in both if opponents are exactly equal to you, then you both will win an equal amount of times. over a long period.

pool you usually have a bigger edge per game if better. but at cards you get to make more bets in more hands to let your edge build up.

Anyone get the impression that in Maha’s younger days, or his youth, he’d make a very alert life guard……Nice rescue!

Pool vs Poker.
Over distance the better player always wins.
Short term. A bad poker player has a better chance than a bad pool player.

I always say it takes much longer to figure out you are in a bad game playing poker than in pool.

the real key to success at most any venture lies in your ability to access correctly your chances of coming out ahead.
and then following that.

matt you seem to be a person that understands your surroundings at all times. thats why you have been so successful in life.

Simply put, it feels like when a pool player loses $5 it's waaaay worse than one poker hand losing 5.

I have won more playing poker than pool.
The former you don't have to be the best, if you can bluff.
You can't bluff playing pool....the ball goes in or it don't.

 

[Zerksies]

I've made over a million dollars playing poker and I'm probably never going to win the WSOP. If i've made $20k playing pool i would be surprised

 

[The Old Jaybird]

Here is the best answer...

Guaranteed to make you money.

Whatever financial advice ChicagoPlayer gives....do the opposite.
Win every time.

Simply put, it feels like when a pool player loses $5 it's waaaay worse than one poker hand losing 5.

because in pool it feels personal. and a reflection on your ability rather than just bad luck or a surprise outcome.

plus in cards you get desensitized as you have so many outcomes that one isnt important.
