Why do poker fags get so defensive about it?

Also, this doesn't belong in the Sports Zone. Poker is not a sport.

YOU FAGS DON'T GET IT!!! I'M AWESOME AT GO FISH!!!!! IT TAKES SKILL. SHOW SOME RESPCT.

I AM THE MAN AT CANDYLAND!!!! YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED CANDYLAND BEFORE IF YOU DON'T THINK IT TAKES SKILL!!!!

I didn't mean you.

i think that there is SOME skill involved.

BUT if you reach the professional level, it seems to me that pretty much everyone is at or close to the same skill level. So, when everybody is at close to the same skill level, luck is a greater determining factor.

Actually, this talk has made me want to join some sort of online gambling site.

What is a site where I can play casino-style games and bet on sports?

Aight lol. But as a matter of fact. The description of this forum says "Anything from football to chess". Chess ain't a sport. But I think poker falls somewhere in between.

get an msn zone account (free) and ill play you at heads up texas hold em, then we'll see how much luck is involved :W

Poker is about making the right decisions. That's all I'm gonna say. It's nowhere near close to 80% luck.

The only luck in poker is when it's bad luck and you keep getting shitty cards.
I was playing for real cashe before and just kept getting stupid shit like a 2 and a 6. This was happening for about 20 hands and the blinds were killing me.

In this case I will say that luck caused me to play bad cause I was feeling down as fuck when everyone else was turning over pairs before the flop.

It did make me take more risks though as I decided to bluff the fuck out of a shit hand and went on to win the hand by pure luck.

I guess it works both ways

Phil Hellmuth is the greatest athlete of all time

luck is involved... but your pecentage is wrong. i would say its about 40% luck, maybe less... depends on who your playing and the size of your stack.

if you want to bet on sports, worldsportsexchange.com they have their poker thing and other games too.

For poker and luck, winning 5 hands out of 10 is luck. Over time if you are making money after playing thousands of hands its no longer luck.

First get better.
