Re: In Your Experience, What Percentage of Poker is Skill vs. Luck?

Barry Greenstein claims in 'Ace on the River' that a good player has a 3% edge in the long run if he plays in typical games. That may not seem like a lot, but remeber that house edge in blackjack is...

Re: I hate poker

Position doesn't matter if you flop a set. It's even easier with a hand like 22 because you either set or fold. If it's 7.5 to 1 to flop set or better than you only need to make $20.62 or more off...

Re: I hate poker

If the raise is 5% or less of your and the raisers total stack then you should call with any pocket pair. Implied odds.

Yup. Your opponent has just enough in his stack to possibly make this call....

$22 180 hand, calling on all streets.

Villian is very active and aggressive, but not quite in a maniacal way. He raises hands like K7s from MP and will continuation bet all streets when he misses.
