Default Re: OK so how would you go about showing poker is a game of skill?

Bring the person you want to convince to a big bookstore and show him the gigantic selection of instructional poker books and point out the strategy elements in them. Compare them to the chess books and the craps books and point out that while poker is still gambling it can be played 'properly' and that poker lies somewhere between a game of pure skill like chess and simple luck like craps.
