To win in Poker - Bluff or Luck?

Luck!
At least for the 1st poker game held on Sat at my place.
Players: Max, Eug, me, Chiang, Aiwei, Joan and Haz
Losers: The 1st 3 names (in descending amount - ie. 1st lost the most)
Winners: The last 4 names (in ascending amount)

Fun-filled, action packed 4 hr poker game (Texas Hold'em) after a feast at the Sydney Fish Mkt. First timers include 3 of the winners (all girls).. And the key to their handsome win (biggest winner won ard $35): Luck and plain honesty! Only bet when u have a good hand. Haha..

The rules are simple and conservative. Buy-in is just $10 (unlimited depends on ur risk appetite). Small / Big blind is 10c/20c. Maximum bet for first 4 cards before the river card is $2 and for the last hand, max is $10. Sounds like the $10 worth of chips would be finished very quickly ya. But the truth is that it is seldom that 'All in' will be called early in the game! It actually took about an hr before the 1st 'All in' or max $10 bet was called. Everyone was keeping it simple and conservative.. Haha..

It was all good fun ultimately.. Definitely another game coming up soon.. The losers will want to recoup! Till the next update, it seems that LUCK plays a bigger part than Skills aka Bluff.. Haha..
Interest in GOLF is still strong. Haz had started feeling the attractiveness of golf and she will join me in the future golf sessions! Cooolz.. Take care all!
