Is poker a game of skill?

nobody@vox.com(MJ) — Thu, 03 May 2007 13:19:20 -0400

This is a tremendous article by Neil King Jr. from the Wall Street Journal. As a card carrying member of the Poker Players Alliance, I feel that poker is a game of skill. My evidence is any of the poker players who have made a career out of the game. I'll quote Mike McD who said "Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?" It's a skill game. Yes, the cards that come out are random, but how you play them requires a skill.

The "vast majority" of high-betting poker hands, he says, are decided after all players except the winner have folded. So if no one shows his cards, Mr. Lederer says, "can you legally argue that the outcome was determined by luck?"

VOTE! Do you think Poker is a game of skill or luck? Vote here!

Indianapolis Cultural Trail Off To The Right Foot

The Indianapolis Cultural Trail under construction as of Wednesday is more than a fancy sidewalk. It's an entirely new and revolutionary alternative transportation system that will connect much of Downtown Indianapolis, including most of the city's museums and sports venues.

Zig Ziglar slows down Indianapolis morning traffic

Metro police did expect the crowd of 30,000 at the RCA Dome to cause some headaches leading into downtown Wednesday morning, but nothing like what many motorists sat through. Normal traffic patterns were paralyzed.
