Hi vikkydonald - I replied to your Bingo post yesterday too. I hope your not a spammer, because I put a lot of effort into my text for you.

 

I can't answer your poker question I'm afraid because I'm not a poker player

What a cool question!!

 

I was Zynga's poker expert! You can learn some good things, like basic things - raise, call, fold.. and of course, what cards are stronger and better and also what combination is stronger than other. Of course, there's always a luck and you have to think with 100% of your brain, because even if you think you have such a strong cards, there's usually somebody with better ones and you slipped it off your mind

 

Anyways, it's a good practice, because you play it against real players, the only difference is that you don't play for real and your own money and you're relaxed, so probably you think clearer and you're relaxed, no pressure.

 

Enough from me, don't want to waste words if this is another spammer

[yapro]

I will answer short that generally no, it does not help. Only to learn rules of poker probably.

I found zynga poker extremely usefull to help to improve my pokerskills. I'd recommend it to every person who is considering to start play poker.

[cocopop3011]

I'm not a fan of Zynga Poker, only because I don't play it. But I would imagine it to be good practise for beginners

i don't think zynga poker can help you became better player. the main reason is that this is free play. playing slots at freeplay mode is very similar to real mode. but at poker is not like that. i played many times poker for real money and fun money. but at fun mode you will find a lot of players who will play with all cards.. at real poker tables is different.

Zynga poker can be somehow helpful in learning how to play poker. It's a free play so it's a good start of familiarizing yourself with great card combinations. For the beginners it's important that you first learn the basic stuff in regards with playing poker without risking your pockets and bank accounts.

And do you play poker yourself?

[partyhummel]

I am curious how long it will take me to develope some basic skills in poker.

Exactly my thoughts, just for fun is boring right!! You need a bit of excitement in it! Let us know how you get on.

And do you play poker yourself?

I think so Yeah, just a tad bit and I had never bet "real money" in Poker. I'm only playing the basic 5 card draw and don't look forward to playing its other variants. I would say other gambling games fit me better than Poker.

And are we talking about slots here or other table games?

Mostly slots. Mainly because it requires less strategic thinking (though sometimes an ample amount helps). On a personal point of view, there's no better gambling games than slots. They're so addictive, creators of slot games did an exemplary job of making gambling so irresistible.

I don't think Zynga helped my poker skills at all. The first time I ever played a real Texas hold em game was when I was 18. My friend's mom taught me the rules of the game and we went to a poker event and I won the tournament (200$ from some hillbillies). It was beginner's luck, for sure. But then I got used to playing poker online with sites like Zynga where people make reckless bets because there's no value assigned to the outcome. The experience did not sharpen my poker abilities or senses.
