Re: Is poker gambling?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] What makes poker a game of skill? [/ QUOTE ] The fact that the decisions you make has a real effect on your long term expected outcome. [/ QUOTE ] Close. However, by your definition of a skill game, all casino games are skill games too since there are varying degrees of -EV decisions that can lead to a steeper negative slope in the long term expected income (ie: playing roulette has a much lower return that playing slots). A person can make +EV decisions in skill games, whereas in casino games a person simply makes decisions that are all -EV(or 0 EV) but to different degrees. Skill games put the players in situations with either +EV or -EV decisions available and it is up to the player to determine which decisions are +EV and which are -EV. Non-skill games don't offer this -- all decisions are -EV. |

Re: Is poker gambling?
We call them "donkaments" for a reason.
Also, as someone pointed out, just because poker is a game of skill doesn't mean it's not gambling. chess is 100% skill, but if you wager your money to someone else's you're also gambling. Of course, you're also gambling every time you invest in the stock market or even drive to work. |
