Yeah, it's all luck. Unlike Keno or Craps, which is all skill, baby! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Let's say we have a basket with 3 balls in it. 2 black balls and 1 white one. You pick a ball randomly and every time you pick a black ball you pay me one dollar, every time you pick the white ball I pay you 5 dollars. On average, you will pick the white ball once every 3 picks so you will lose 2 and win 5 or you will win 3 dollars. Notice that this is a bad game to play if you only have 1 dollar to play with since there is more chance you will lose that dollar. Poker is the same except it has 52 balls instead of 3 and a juussssst a little more complicated. If you're getting paid off you play, if you're not getting paid off you let go.

BTW, if you want to convince a friend who plays with you that poker is not luck don't give them this example since it may make them think that they know nothing about the game and they could just quit. AKA, don't scare the fish.

What possible reason could you have to convert them? If they want to believe it's all luck, let them! Encourage them! The last thing we need is more players who actually read, study, practice, count outs, calculate odds, and take money from people who believe it's all luck.
