Message: [QUOTE="Highsolation, post: 5960514, member: 442671"] I'd say it's a game of skill mainly when you approach it on a mathematical point of view. If you pick good spots and make +EV decisions, you'll have more equity than your opponent and thus in the long run you'll be profitable. Even if in the short run you might get a few coolers, it's part of the game but in the long run, your decision will be profitable. If you flip a coin and everytime you get heads you win $1 and everytime you get tails you lose 1$. Since the chance of a coin flip is 50/50, in the long run you expect to break even. What if you chose 60% equity spots everytime you bet? That's equal to the coin flip but the chance of getting heads is 60%, and thus getting tails has 40%. In that scenario, with every coin flip, you are expected to win $0.2. Again, not going to win everything in the short run, but in the long run, this is a very profitable decision. [/QUOTE]
