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

[ QUOTE ]

I think the problem is that the courts are trying to decide whether poker is a game of skill or luck. Obviously it is a skill game that involves luck. I've never understood what exactly they are trying to decide. Chess is a game involving all skill and no luck, while baccarat involves all luck and no skill, and poker is in between--along with things like every single sport on earth.

ball bounces on way or the other...

wind...

etc.



I think there is also a case that "luck" plays a role in chess. If there was literally no luck, why would two players playing together have different results from one game to another?*



(*luck in the normal sense of the word - no one has sufficient information to predict the outcome)
