Most of what I know about poker I learned from Kenny Rogers so I'm sure these are lame-brained questions. When you're playing at the level you are, are you constantly figuring the probability of every card being what you do/don't want it to be? How much is skill and ability? How much is bluff and how much is luck?

Most of the math is just the same problem over and over. Therefore there is a basic optimal way to play the game given the style of your opponents. Much of the skill in no-limit Hold 'Em is figuring out what your opponents have and confusing them about what you have.

Highly interesting reading !! Thank you.
One question, does Phil Ivey look as young (and like Tiger Woods)in person as he does on ESPN ? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Is anyone else sick of the WPT commentators calling Phil Ivey the "Tiger Woods of Poker"? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Great stuff - pretty soon we'll be reading reports from Phil Helmuth about how he fears seeing Quiet Lion at his table every time!

He doesn't look that much like Tiger but he looks even younger in person. He is young.

Very different. You play fewer hands and bluffing is more important. You can try playing tournaments on line for free on one of the poker sites. PartyPoker, UltimateBet, and PokerStars are the most popular.
