Message: [QUOTE="istbno, post: 7266812, member: 128975"] Poker is a mix of both gambling and strategy, but the balance depends on the timeframe. In the short term, luck plays a big role because cards are random and variance is unavoidable. Over the long term, however, poker clearly becomes a strategy game, where skill, decision-making, psychology, and discipline determine results. Unlike pure gambling games, players compete against each other, not the house, which allows better players to consistently win. So while money is wagered and luck exists, poker rewards strategy far more than chance over time. [/QUOTE]
