90% luck?? poker is def a game of skill.... a good poker player plays his opponents, not his cards. so luck doesnt even come into play all that often.. if it were 90% luck we wouldn't see the SAME ppl every tourney year after year at the final tables. the pros aren't lucky... theyre good.

just my 2 cents

This is funny man. What do you think Casinos comp people for stuff all the time? Of course they do.

LOL I bet not too many people think about that when players talk crap about a sites promo's being a hook and lure players to their site. It is interesting to me how many one liners speak volumes. Good Post!!!

A Crack dealers first couple of Rocks are free too. Is what i meant.
Just like casino comps.

90% luck maybe online. But live is about 45 - 50% luck

Only read the first page, but given the nature of the post and the OP who started said thread, strongly disagree. When I first started playing online, started on AP and was only 14 or 15 at the time, so, didn't have a method to deposit, got into freeroll games and ran up my roll, during the times I was older and just didn't want to deposit, I'd run up my PS fpp's and things of that nature... grind micro stakes on more than one occasion into thousands. (The latest, due to a software glitch, used points to register the Saturday of 4/16 into a miniUBOC that I won for $3.1k and then heebed to about $20 or so playing 2/4PLO.)

Whereas I can attest to being a grinder and being of solid mind and skill to achieve such results, for others it is MORE advantageous to be in a higher-buyin game where the thought process differs from low-mid stakes, those that can't support investing the time to work their way up, or, to those that are just comfortable with their skill set in order to do so.

Although you personally are enjoying the advantages of earning "free" money, still think it's a far too generalized statement to make when referencing how any one individual can maintain a bankroll and/or succeed.

To those that are looking to deposit:

Maintaining a solid BR management and game selection are going to be your biggest factors in how you do, not a server's RCG or the amount you chose to put on. You can play perfect poker, and still lose, just remember that. So long as you're making the most +EV moves at the right times, statistics correlate that you will be profitable over time, so keep making solid plays and utilizing good judgement and you'll be just fine.

Oh, ya, best of luck to everyone! (FR'ing a BR or depositing all the same. =) )

Idont deposit here because the game is basically a crap shoot at this site....This site takes any level of skill one may have.and throws it out the window with 1 or 2 out continuous beats.

Dont be a sucker. Look at the hands we see, and use your head!!!!!!!!

There is enough free money right here, to get any 1/2 decent player started with a bankroll, If you havent won ANY $ here in a 8-10 games you are going to lose your money anyway.

Only fools deposit at Carbon,

Oh and no I have not deposited myself either

And Im sure plenty will say I'm no Good, and look at my free money !

I agree in the short term luck has a huge influence but over the long term if you keep playing correctly and getting good odds with the correct plays the luck will even out the skill factor will outweigh the luck factor it is all about volume to control the varience
