Is Poker a Game of Gambling or Skill?
This is one of the more sought after questions in the poker industry and one that tends to be avoided by people. A vast amount of people cannot answer this question because of the fact that there is not a definitive answer. But lets have a quick peak and try to see what the game is actually all about, is it mainly skill or luck?
Luck
Lets first have a look at why you have to be lucky to play poker, because you do not have judgement over how the cards are in fact dealt, you have to be lucky to be dealt the best possible hand, by getting a bad hand time after time you will never get any where in a game, unless of course you have the nerve and skill.
Skill
Skill also plays a big part in the match of poker, as we mentioned above you have to know when you have been given a bad hand and know when to give up, if you constantly play with band hands then you are likely to lose a lot of cash, you have to judge the players around you and a good poker play will be able to tell whether or not they can continue with the game. You also have to know the precise right time that you should call a bluff.
Personally I believe that the game itself is about both of the elements. But over time I feel skill creeps in alot more. As an example if you are an amateur poker player and you play ten games againts a professional that the chances are that you will only win one or two.
