Hello, Would like to have a native German shortly look over a translation of mine to see if it makes sense and see what level it is:

it was a good idea to ask. it's not a joy to read it. Sorry

as I am not able to send PMs, I answer now within this post.


it's much better, although one realizes that this person is not living in Germany, if yes, this person is not really good in writing texts or chosing words. Although I don't know the original text. But there are some phrases that make no sense to me.

Hi, thanks for taking a look this quickly, writer claims to be native German with some poker translation experience...

this is the original text I sent him (maybe not the most fluent english text as well:

When you have the winning hand what is it that you want to do most? You guessed right, make the most money with it. This is called value betting. You are betting with the intention that your hand is best and you want to win more money. A lot of players play very different than this. Even if they think that they have the best hand, they are risk averse and will not play the hand in the manor necessary to get the most money, but the cheapest way to get to show down. These players lose a lot of money because they aren't getting all the value they could in those situations.

ok, it was good to post the original text. Where did you find this translator.
Probably he lives in Germany, but he doesn't understand English very well.

A short retranslation to show you:
When luck is by your side, what is happening in your head then? You're right - now you should invest your money. That is called appreciation. You bet on your luck (exactly: You bet on that you can trust your luck and) to win more games by this. .....


I don't think you wanted to express this with your text, especially as I completely understand it different as you are talking about one good hand and how to get most ROI on it and not about having a lucky streak. This translation is not really good, but it should show you the nonsense too.

Tommydanger, I would advise you to better hide that page as long as you need to find a proper translation. The current German text is just horrible.
