Your right. It depends heavily on who you are playing with and what their ability to seperate real life and the game is like.

And that is one of the things I love about No Limit Hold Em. You don't need cards! I have had some of my best tournament finishes when I have gotten squat for cards. And there is nothing like catching a full house on the river when you were forced to go all-in in the big blind with 2-7 off suit. I have done that once and the guy I was in the pot against about exploded when the 7 hit on the river for me to beat his trips.

I won't tell the whole story, but I once took down a $48,000 pot in a tournament with 9-5 offsuit. Caught four 9s and had two full houses betting into me!

Unless your opponent is really good at doing math in his head, and the game has no wilds, you pretty much don't need cards to win most poker games. I think a lot of it is having a dominant air about yourself. You look like a winner and the losers all run from you before they make you have to prove it.
