Here I Tell You Why Watching YouTube Poker Videos to Learn Poker Can Be Devastating for Your Game

If you are a beginner Poker player and you are accustomed to the thrill of these Poker videos, consider that the real-world Poker is totally different, be it a tournament play or a cash game. I remember as a beginner interested in learning Poker, I used to watch hours of YouTube videos in order to learn how to play Poker. It's the most disastrous strategy to learn Poker because real world Poker has little similarities with what televised Poker projects the game to be. Here I tell you why
wanting to learn Poker by watching "entertainment" Poker videos is a wrong move:

•  These YouTube videos are released after editing where TV editor always release all-in moves, bluffs, or interesting moments that happened during the game mostly. These videos are created for entertainment purposes. These videos don't show you the "grinding" that involves in the game of Poker. The countless folding hands that you do in order to get "strong" hands. It doesn't show you the amount of patience that a fairly good player exercises during the game as these patience moves don't make good TV hours.
• Mostly, the top searched YouTube videos on Poker are taken from final tables of the most popular Poker Tournament, World Series of Poker, an annual event equivalent of Poker World Cup as you may call it. You need to consider that final table poker gets too long which are nearly fifteen or sixteen hours, but TVs only telecast it for four or maximum five hours. That is the reason why enthusiastic viewers miss those patience moments and hurdles of a great player. At WSOP final table people fold fifteen or sixteen hand at a stretch and it's pretty standard play among the reasonably good poker players..The viewers miss those agonizing moments of poker that great players endure to win money. 

Poker is neither a game of all-in nor a game of continuous folding. It's a game that requires your proper understanding of odds, pot-sizing, initial hands to play with, sizing up the opponents, and betting basics, among many others. It requires discipline and mastery of tricks combining risks and luck. Money doesn't come easy. If you want to truly learn the game of Poker, you should study the game with a scientist's mind. Poker is not gambling. It's a skill-based game.
