Default Re: [Article] Is Playing Poker ReallyGambling?

do YOU know what "risk of ruin" is?

if any player has a probability of winning < 1 there is a positive risk of ruin over a finite number of events. that does not mean it's a losing game for _everybody_. i could have a 99% chance of winning in any game and i would be a losing player by your definition. the only case in which "everyone is going to go busto eventually" is a game in which players risk 100% of their bankrolls 100% of the time.
