SO BASICALLY THE GAME IS 5% SKILL AND 95% LUCK, SO ALL THE GUYS OUT HERE WHO THINK THEY ARE SO SKILLED , LET'S SEE WHERE THEY ARE WHEN THEIR LUCK RUNS OUT

Chris Ferguson actually put it closer to 70% Luck- 30% Skill... and he's a little smarter than I am...now MY poker game may be 95% Luck and 5% skill, but I would have to say when I am an 80/20 favorite I will lose...um somewhere around 20% of the time and I am pretty sure that is about the same rate as Chris Ferguson. Only Chuck Norris wins 100% of these. All hands are mutually exclusive, if I lose 3 80/20 hands in a row, I am not DUE to win the next one beyond 80%. The 60/40 and slight edge coin flip situations are the Bread-n-Butter of poker and the 80/20 spots are the Red Bulls you wash it down with. If I were offered the ability to play my slight edge hands to perfection every time as to maximize value, I would give up the 80/20's forever! So if indeed my poker game is 5% skill, according to Mr. Ferguson I have room for 6 fold improvement!
