If what you say is true someone could just design a bot to play pure odds over the internet and walk away a billionare.
They do. Limits played on the internet are fairly low, but there are people who bot 3/6 games for ~1k a month consistently.

Now Smash despite what information of poker you gathered from watching a Matt Damon movie I should inform you that probably 75% of 'reading' a player occurs from how quickly they call, fold, or raise. All things that can carry over well on the internet, sure how someone smoke a ciggarete might give away some clues to their hand, but certintly not enough to matter.
Yeah, that's the point I made about reasing players being poinntless. You're talking about reading
play not players. Reading
players means that two players do EXACTLY THE SAME THING and you respond in a diffrent manner.
Learn to read.

Really 90% of all information gathered on a hand is gathered first round of betting. Watching how quickly a player throws in his money, seeings as most ameutuers decide to 'bluff' when they figure out their hand is sh*t. You can see how easy it would be to figure out someone has rags when they go all in on the river but took 5 seconds to decide if they should even call for the flop.
I guess the level of amatuers you play with is astonshingly more predictible than those I play with. Obviously if someone is transparent to the point where they may as well tell you they're bluffing that's nice for you, but anything along those lines pretty much ends with .50/$1 games.
I think we're just talking about two diffrent levels of poker is all. I'm talking about the importance of reading players in the WSOP, you're talking about people who barely understand the rules of the game.
Anytime you want to play heads up somewhere, feel free to drop me a line.
