Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 5406532, member: 193663"] As much or as little as you decide to allow into the game. The more risk you take the more you rely on chance to win, the less risk you take the higher the probability will be of winning. The problem arises due to the infrequency of 'sure things' in poker, i.e. the nuts or stone nuts, so depending on the format more chances have to be taken opposed to always waiting to be nutted. Your OP is a question for which the answer will differ from format to format, game to game, table to table. My answer is dependent on variables such as skill level, buy-in level, level of intoxication and so on. I choose to believe that whilst in the short-term luck can be a bigger factor and although there is almost always an element of luck, poker is a game of skill. Skill in combinations of areas simultaneously. May the run-good appear when we need it most! :D [/QUOTE]
