Default Bill gates just adopted greatest poker player in the history of poker!

Bill gates just adopted something that can say 2 words.... its a parrot and it says all in for every hand. In a no limit money game the parrot wins all your money you sat down with before you can take all of his bankroll.... over a course of time the parrot rules over all!!!! Parrot doesnt need skill to beat you... he knows his worst odds are 80 20 on a starting hand.... No matter how skilled you are, it takes one unbelieveable run of luck to beat the parrots bankroll before you lose yours.... If the bankroll of one opposing player is insurmountable that makes him far superior to someone with more skill at the game!!!! The mind has thought and now spoken!!!

"he knows his worst odds are 80 20 on a starting hand"

AA vs A6o= 94% vs 6%

Parrot should get pokerstove.

My point is luck is involved.... a great big part of it and who is more lucky wins more often..... But i keep forgetting of the greatness you all have that dont ever lose have always been winners.... Fantasy land at its finest, I really say way to go holyfield for your creation of such a place.... do your imaginary friends play poker with you in your games you set up.... Be fair now and let them win too big guy... its only fair. The mind has thought and now spoken!!!!

Do you not have reading comprehension skills at all? This is not difficult. No one is saying that luck isnt involved. The point of the matter is that no one is more lucky than another person. A more skilled person wins more often. You can try and rationalize your losing of money in poker all you want on here but the facts are you are not just unlucky comapred to someone else. You lose in the long run due to poor play. People are not in fantasy land here. You can not accept reality is the reason you must come up with outlandish comments of no one here is a pro or makes a living playing poker.

If this is too long or hard for you to comprehend here is a short version. **Stop whining about your loses because you are not unlucky. Luck is a shortterm aspect of poker and plays smaller role than you realize.**

That is IF you stack him. I LOVE IT! What a perfect time for this post. I especially love using a Parrot.

In my post (An interesting take on Poker Pros) everyone was arguing Poker is purely skill in the long run. Now here we have a situation where Poker has been reduced to almost pure luck. You will still have a choice in choosing the hand you go all in with, but after that all you can do is pray and hope for the best. A lot depends too on the size of the blinds, you may be forced to go in with an inferior hand before you are eaten up.

In a no-limit cash game, Bill (or his parrot) would be the most dominant player in the world. Actually, no matter how skilled you are in poker if you are playing with someone who is dominantly "richer" than you, you can't beat them unless you get lucky. And the more money they have than you the luckier you have to get.
