I'm very much looking forward to playing rake-free poker online as an extension of a decentralized home game.
Poker is a game of basically pure math if you play enough hands and have enough data.
A decentralized poker app would even the scales and make it so 49% of players make money on average. If I had to guess, I'd say this number is more like 10%-15% at places that taxes you.
I agree with taking calculated risks @edicted and I have seen some people do consistently well with Poker, but I was never really any good.
It never has really interested me. I would have joined the poker rounds at Steemfest but, I don't know how to play :D
