lol @ the simplicity/one-dimensionality of the poll's language. What the game REALLY is, is a contest of who treats the element of chance THE MOST SKILLFULLY.

Is poker a game of luck or skill?

Pro Poker:

It's a game of skill with luck.
It's a gambling game which requires skill.
It's not gambling.
It's gambling where the lucky get played by the skilled.
etc.

Con:

It's all luck.


No wonder we get screwed. Their argument is easier to follow.

It is nice to see the latest numbers in the poll.

Chance 6%
Mostly chance a little skill 36%
Skill 15%
Mostly skill a little chance 46%

A PR spin mister would say 94% of the respondents say poker involves skill. Almost 3:1 pure skill vs pure chance and 60:40 more skill than chance.

Not too bad for an on-line poll IMO.

Maybe they were resetting it daily... or they're paring out the duplicate IP addresses for ballot stuffing?
