Message: [QUOTE="Prem, post: 7288253, member: 1062717"] Poker is a mix of both skill and chance, but over the long run it behaves much more like a skill game. Luck definitely plays a role in the short term because of the randomness of the cards, which is why even weaker players can sometimes win a hand or a session. However, over many hands and tournaments, skill becomes the deciding factor. Things like probability knowledge, strategy, reading opponents, discipline, and bankroll management make a big difference. That’s why the same players often succeed consistently in major tournaments and high-stakes games. So while chance is part of poker, in the long run it’s closer to a mind sport based on skill and decision-making [/QUOTE]
