Home Home Site Map Poker is a thinkers game, but it's for money, so attracts a lot more than chess players. There are about seven thousand four hundred and twenty levels of poker skill, but grouped basically, you're either: -horrid, as in, you don't know how to play -bad, as in, you know how the games works, can play, but really man, you don't know how to play -pretty bad, as in, you think you know how to play -ok, as in, you know whats going on, understand the odds, but still make some mistakes -ok, as in, you really know whats going on mathematically, but can't read a player, or can be read -decent, as in, you know enough of the math, but are playing the players more than your cards, and rarely make mistakes -good, as in, you know it's not about the cards, let the math be loose guidelines, play the player well, are a hard read, and don't make mistakes -excellent, as in, you can read, you can't be read, and you know exactly how to bet So where do you fit in? I think I'm a decent player, but not a good player yet. I've been playing casually for a few years, but didn't really know what I was doing until about a year ago.
