I continue my articles about learning to master online poker at
low limit stakes. In the last article I wrote about the chance
of winning in a casino. So you can ask why poker is different.

In online poker you don"t play against the casino, you play
against other players!

That"s why your chance of winning (not losing) is so different
than in the case of casino games.

Some additional thoughts: Of course the casino has its
revenue on this game too, but this is not a prize rather a fix
or percentage fee. You can imagine this fee like a hosting fee
for the game. Live casinos used to collect hourly fees but on
the internet there is the so-called "�rake"�. It means that
at the end of every hand the casino gets some percentage of the
prize (the pot).

Back to the point, the poker is not played against the casino it
is played against other players. That"s why there is no system
determined in advance against which you cannot win, the chance
of winning only depends on your game play and the playing style
of your opponents.

So if you want to win you have to pay attention to 2 things:

You have to play better and better.

You have
to play with weaker opponents.

The first point goes without saying but let"s talk about the
second. What if everybody at the table plays with the same
skills? Depending on the hand one will win a bit then other will
win but in the long run nobody will win. The casino will collect
the rake so all of them will lose. It means that you can win if
the difference of the average skills of the other players and
your skills is bigger than the rake. ( Because you have to pay
for the rake).

How can you win then? The two extreme cases are:

You are the best poker player on the world.

You play only with someone who doesn"t even know the
rules.

Unfortunately none of the cases seem to achieve easy, but there
is no need to. It is enough if you take into consideration them
at the same time. When you are a new player try to find
opponents weaker than you, and if you gets a lot of experience
you can try with stronger opponents.

You can say here that it is ethical to get the money of a weaker
player? Well, let"s see this question from another point of
view. Those who read this article want to win money in the
poker. So we can see this like a business. And in the business
world there are competitors. And in the business world the weak
will become bankrupt. A little bit cynical? Yes. But that is
what the poker about.
