Evidence? supporting ideas? Do you always straight believe the quote off from the publicity?

The whole point was this article was to contradict the definition of gambling and perception of people who look poker players with sunglasses.

You got my point.

Thanks,

You are linking my idea to something that is not even relevant. My theory is based upon taking infinite amount of huge favorite chances. The odds you are getting in your blackjack with multiple decks in the casino doesn't generate stable enough profit - it is gambling because you are aware that you will not become a huge winner by playing 1,000,000 of blackjack hands but in poker at least I am certain that I am a winner and will be a winner.

-EV into consideration. However, not significant factor enough to change the favorable outcome to worse one.

[ QUOTE ]
i want to hear more about the article of why u cant win in the long run because of the rake. anyone have a link?

i like to call texas holdem and other forms of poker, "educated gambling" or "selective pai gow".

[/ QUOTE ]

I am sorry but rake perception is just non-sense since it is not significant enough to change your favorable outcome.
