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

Proving there is skill in a poker game like Hold'em is pretty simple. Just pit a mediocre player against a computer (or person) programmed to lose. The loser could play something like always folding or always calling or any destined to lose strategy. The mediocre player will eventually win.

Since one strategy is better than the other there must be at least some skill in playing the game.
