Message: [QUOTE="sibird, post: 5491615, member: 341623"] Honestly speaking, i don't believe in luck. And i think poker has nothing to do with luck. Poker is simply a game just like other games where your intelligence and the way you handle a situation is tested. We can't brand "poker is a game of luck" or "poker is a game of skill". It depends on how you play the game. If your game is based on luck then to you it is a game of luck. Similarly if you employ skill then to you it is a skill game. It starts with hole cards, then comes flop, turn and river. You have to go through them and decide your course of action. Of course, you have to consider many other factors before making a decision. I don't see any luck involvement there. You are playing with "what cards you are getting". This is skilled game. But if you are not getting strong hole cards and missing flops often and blame that on luck then you are playing luck game. [/QUOTE]
