GIVEN: Winning one hand of poker is luck.
GIVEN: Winning over the course of an infinite amount of poker hands is skill.

MY POSITION: Somewhere between those two extremes, skill overtakes luck as the determining factor for profitability

one hand of poker is not luck or chance - its all skill because poker is a game of skill not a game of chance

deal out one hand to Doyle Brunson, and one hand to another to a donk. 50% of the time, the donk's hand will be the winner, 50% of the time, Doyle Brunson's hand will be the winner. the part that IS skill is that the pro will bet his money when he's the winner, and not bet his money when he's the loser.
