Message: [QUOTE="Herkstwin, post: 4073317, member: 285307"] [COLOR=#0000ff]Each hand in a game of poker is a game of skill AND chance/luck.y? [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]A poker career, played over many, many hands is a game of skill.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Why? Because, in the long run, the outcome of all hands combined relates more to the skill of the player than just dumb luck. The player will lose some hands because the odds of winning were 70%, or 80%, or even 95%, but the bad guy got lucky and cashed in on the 30%, or 20%, or 5% suck out.

And if you win 70% of the hands vs 30%, you are a skilled winner, not just a lucky donk.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
