Re: Argument: Poker is skill because it matters who you play
Positive expectation is not an indicator of a game that is predominantly skill.
Blackjack players can achieve positive expectation via card counting.
Or, consider the following game: Flip a coin. If the result is heads, I'll pay you $2. If the result is tails, you pay me $1. You would clearly have a positive expectation, but the game would be 100% chance.
(My original post stated that all games played have some chance and some skill. It should have read "most games...")
