Cant agree with that.  Different poker games have varying degrees of skill, luck or distinct skills that make it different from the other poker games.

For example :

7 card stud HI-LO , IMHO, is a game that involves more memory skills, then hold em.

NL hold em, is a game that involves more coin flip luck,  then pot limit - 7 stud.

To break it down further :

you have 2 games. One is :

NL HOLD EM -  $300 BUY IN

or

LIMIT 7 STUD - $300 BUY IN  -  $15 - $30 betting structure.

In the NL hold em, you can easily bust your entire buy in, on the first hand you play , with one bad beat by getting a hand cracked like  your KK, vs AQ suited , all in preflop.

You wont have this same type of luck factor in the  7-stud game, because you are not allowed to shove your $300 buy in, all into the pot on the very first bet of the hand.

The 7 card stud, allows you to use skills on 3rd-4th-5th-6th-7th  street
to decide to get out of the hand and save your money , if you think your hand has now become to weak to play.  You cant do this with the NL hold em, all in shove and are now entirely in the hands of LUCK, on the flop, turn and river.

Now, some people may reply..." dont bet all in on KK, preflop , and risk it. "

which I reply :   " what if my opponent is very aggressive with HIS AQ or QQ or AK ,  preflop, and reraises me all in pre ?   Are you supposed to just fold KK, to aggressive rerasiers at the table, who like to bully with hands like AQ/  AK / QQ / 10-10 ?
