Poker is Gambling
Followers of the analytical,mathematical poker theory need to understand and accept the term Gambling. Poker is not a starting hand chart,followed by analytical,implied odd,pot odd, mathematical strategy. Poker is Gambling and gambling is to play games of chance for money. Interesting game of chance-the happening of events without apparent cause fortuity, luck. Gambling(poker) is to play a game of luck for money. Interesting how all the hand charts, implied odd, pot odd startegy went out the window. Gambling is to take a risk in order to gain some advantage. Take a risk- to expose oneself to chance of injury or loss(money will be lost). There is no strategy, theory, starting hand chart that will help you in poker. That is just someone writing a book for money. you think they write it for free ? Accept the fact poker is gambling and your game will improve. Otherwise keep following the futile advice on this site.

Re: Poker is Gambling
Semantics ftw!
Every poker player that is any good knows that it's gambling, but so is Gin Rummy, and that never stopped Ungar for being good at it. I'm sure Brunson just won so many WSOP bracelets by accident, of course. |

Excellent word salad, too. Something tells me you've had a hit of acid or e or two, or 800. |

Re: Poker is Gambling
The word "gambling" does not imply "game of chance" nor does it eliminate "game of skill". It simply implies a wager on an uncertain outcome. Even in a game like golf, which is probably about 98% skill, if the two participants wager, they're gambling.
Poker has just enough of a short-term luck factor to make it poosible for bad players to win often enough (or lose gradually enough) to keep on playing and make it possible for the skilled players to earn an income. OP is either a troll, an idiot, or a whiny loser. Or all 3. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Re: Poker is Gambling
OP, read TOP. It clearly states that poker IS gambling. There is just a skill component included in there.
