Luck vs. Skill test...

Ok. let me make sure im getting this right, as i dont want to miss the point of your OP.

Youre saying that someone playing holdem for their very first time (or 20th time), although mentally capable, will do very very poorly against the best poker player in the world? Well Jesus, I think youre on to something [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ive been playing tennis for years and I only got a couple points off Pete Sampras when we played last summer. Maybe I should have used your logic there...

Ok so for the dozens of people who read this and couldnt comprehend what jackaaron was saying: Most of the time a top professional goes against a beginner the professional will win. This even goes for poker, proving that there is no luck involved.
