I always laugh at the people who say they can't play poker because of the players are "too stupid."

It's as if they think they'd be making more money playing a table with Hellmuth, Chan, and Ivey.

Those are the players that make poker profitible for the people that know what they're doing.

most of the time, but when you are looking at a $90-100 pot that river card can be soooo scary. I guess that is why I probably would not bet very heavily on 2 pair. Same thing happens with fools that play pocket 2's all the way to the river. Or in tournaments and they go all-in on a pair of pocket 3' or 4's pre-flop.

If there was that much luck then there would be no professional poker players.

The only people who think poker is all luck is people who dont know how to play poker.

and by 'poker' I mean texas hold em since that's the discussion at hand. I'm sure there are some games that involve cards out there that are indeed only 5% skill.

im leaning towards a 60/40 luck-skill split... if it was entirely or mainly luck, how else are the same 4-5 people coming back to the final table of world series of poker each year?
