Message: [QUOTE="bellam, post: 4365827, member: 287513"] If you ask family, friends and other people about poker, alot of them will surprisingly tell you that it is a gambling game just like roulette and lottery. This can't be further from the truth, as all of us here in CC know. But since the golden years of poker (2004-2011) more people have acknowledged poker as a game that requires skill and precise calculation, just like in chess (that is counted as sport). Maybe it's just where I live in Norway, I'm not sure. Do you think that I am wrong and that most people do understand the level of skill and math required in poker? Or do you think that the majority of people still have this idea of poker being a game of luck and/or the players are just a bunch of drunk gamblers going all wild west with their house and money? I'd like to know your opinions! [/QUOTE]
