I don’t think so because you don't need to be an expert to play poker. Poker is a game that you can learn to play, and you can start playing at low stakes.

Isn't necessary, but it's very welcome.

As you said, we can improve our skills and evolve at poker, so let's do this and win some money against those who don't study the game :)

The question is wrong. It should be: Can you win at poker not being an expert.

...poker in terms of rules is not that difficult to understand, but learning and evolving in the game is much more complex than it seems...be critical and seek knowledge, that way, step by step and respecting mainly your bankroll to avoid tilt, your chances of being profitable will be very high...

You don't need to be an expert, just study the game and play according to the game's odds.

You don't need to be an expert, but you need to have at least an idea of which hands to play, etc. Study and play a lot.

You need to be an expert in patience, concentration and timing to play

There has to be a balance in everything. If only experts played poker, no one would be interested, you need to always develop and not forget that we all always start somewhere.

Perhaps poker is a game in which it is impossible to become a master if you do not constantly play, practice is the most important factor.

Let's be honest - not everyone who learns the rules of poker wants to become an expert at the game. Many of us probably just want to look smart and understand what our friends are talking about when they discuss the latest tournament in Las Vegas.So I suggest you another way to become an expert in poker without ever playing it in your life. Just start looking at poker as a sport.

Do you have to be an expert to read a book, do you have to be an expert to drive a car, do you have to be an expert to make a sandwich?
No, you don't have to be an expert, you just have to have the desire to do what you want to do.
Although, apparently, experts make better sandwiches :)

No, of course not. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to create an account on CardsChat and take our great free course :)

Nope, it’s not rocket science, you can be a capable poker player within a couple of months of online play I believe. poker is 90 percent luck, so the skill level is not astronomical.

this ^ explains a lot

My experience has been, the longer I play this game and the more I study it, the more I realize how little I know and just how much more there is to learn about this game (especially if I'm hoping to become a good or competent player)

I think that the better you learn poker, but it's also about poker math and the ability to constantly assess the situation, the better you know who you're at the table with. That's why I think poker development is very important, but you don't need much knowledge to play at low stakes.

No, you don’t need to be an expert to play poker! Anyone can learn the basics, but getting better takes practice. Start with simple rules and improve over time by learning bluffing, odds, and reading opponents.

Não acho, porque você não precisa ser um especialista para jogar pôquer. Pôquer é um jogo que você pode aprender a jogar, e você pode começar a jogar com apostas baixas.
And also, from the moment you start playing, you start to want to become more and more of an expert in the game.

It really doesn't make a difference. A sure thing can turn around very easily. Being pro doesn't help how the cards come out.

To become an expert, you have to dedicate your entire life to poker! Even then, there is no guarantee that you will become an expert. That's why a lot of players get frustrated with poker at the slightest difficulty. But it's important to never give up and believe in yourself, even if you have a bad streak. :unsure:

I think that poker is a game of luck, you don't have to be an expert to win, you just have to be lucky.
