Message: [QUOTE="Stu_Ungar, post: 1618575, member: 39779"] Over 1 hand, the outcome is down to luck, but the way its played requires skill. At any point you have 3 choices, fold, call or raise. Each of these choices have an EV and the EVs are rarely equal. The skill is taking the line which provides the highest EV for your hand. A skillfull player tends to get more value the times he is ahead and pays off less often when he is behind. How many times have you seen a fish show up with quads and create a 20bb pot? Thats an example of how to get very lucky in a hand and still play it with zero skill. [/QUOTE]
