Why are there so many people like playing poker? Is playing poker a good thing? Maybe many people have those questions. But I want to ask you a question “are you familiar with poker?”

In general, people who like playing poker games, they will know that what they can get from poker.

Actually, the poker is good for you. Poker games can develop your discipline, many people lack discipline, they are controlled by their desire and emotion, so they usually do lots of wrong things, which cause some bad effects on themselves, while if you want to play well poker, you should develop strong discipline, but the poker develops discipline by rewarding it highly. Otherwise, poker can develop your math skill, when you play poker you usually would try guess the hands of your opponents, while this can help you enhance your math skill. Poker can develop your impatience, and playing poker is a thing that very needs patience.

Many people have a heat debate that the poker should be considered different from gambling. Their argument is usually that poker is a skill game, while other gambling games are much less dependent upon skill.

I agree this point. In my opinion, I think poker is 100% a game of skill. Why poker is not gambling? It is the reason what separates the winners from the losers is skill. The poker players have high kill in playing poker, who will win over the long run, while the poker players have poor skill in playing poker, who will loses for long time. Even there are some poor skill poker players who want to change the fate of losing, so they use some high-tech poker devices to make themselves have the shortcoming of skill. Otherwise, the gambling games like roulette or craps have no long run winners, playing those gambling games mostly depend on luck, while the luck is very difficult to control, and the odds of gambling games are not in favor of players, we take craps for example, the longer a craps player plays craps, the more he loses. The skill is the crucial to prove that the poker is not gambling.

Now, some poker players also use marked cards contact lenses, a kind of efficacious poker cheating device.
