It's a list that had to be made. The 10 most annoying behaviors at the poker table. As with all things in life, the problems, more often than not, come from having to deal with other people.

The best place to play poker is one of the most common questioned asked, especially by players seeking a low odds $1/$2 or $2/$5 no-limit hold'em game.

And finally, just how competent are the dealers and pit bosses? So many questions...and all for things of little consequence.

To be sure, the online gambling market will be huge in 2020. Just think back, it doesn't seem that long ago, when in order to have a punt, you'd be needing to get yourself to the betting shop or casino. I mean, like actually drive your lardy ass there. To a physical location. How quaint! But thanks to the reach of the Internet, those days have gone the way of the horse drawn carriages, Blockbuster Video and burning witches.

That is the gamblers question: Is luck a factor in gambling? Since a hairy stone aged man rolled some bones in an empty skull, the question always arises. Is the result due to luck or skill? Yes, of course luck is probably the major ingredient. But, is not entirely the whole picture. For certain games, there is a strategy, which requires some form of skill, that can help tip the balance in your favor.

As always, the WPT Main Event holds a lot of surprises for us. This season was filled with unexpected mind games and bluffs. No doubt, the 2020 World Poker Tour odds picture a mighty battle at the Final Table.

The simplest way to understand the Gambler's Fallacy is to toss a coin. Obviously there are two possible outcomes. Each one has an equal chance of occurring. Now if we toss the coin 10 times in a row, we might reasonable expect to get 5 heads and 5 tails. But we could equally expect to get 10 heads in a row.
