Re: How My Son\'s Insight May Have Saved Poker
David,
Can't this be applied to BlackJack as well? Clearly, you cannot win at blackjack (sans card counting), but one player can lose money faster than another (hitting on 19 and such). I know here in CA, Blackjack is a game of skill, but we all know it's not a game you can beat longterm.
EDIT: I suppose this assumes that winning long-term is requisite for being a game of skill. To discount my own argument, you could introduce a game of poker with a 20% uncapped rake. No player in the world could beat it long term, but some players could lose faster than others.
