Re: No, I am saying the argument fails because it confuses people
And a little bit more:
1 Wongboy Gets It right !
2 But rutang misunderstands the argument, his statement "and whether or not I fold a hand is determined somewhere around 95% of the time by the cards I'm dealt. so, in a given hand, luck is more than an 80% determiner if I even have a chance to play..." is a testament to his skill, not chance - HE determines which hands to fold, the cards do not REQUIRE it.
3 Babygrand forgot to read the details of the UK Gutshot case; in that case the standard was ANY chance, and the prosecution conceded that poker was probably more skill than chance. The jury actully found "significant skill and significant chance." Whether that was the right standard is being appealed.
4 In the US, judges determine law, juries determine facts. whether poker is more chance than anything else is a question of fact.
