Default Re: College Paper... Poker: Luck or Skill

[ QUOTE ]
In poker, you only need to be better/make fewer mistakes than your competition to make money long term. You are playing against other people, not the house percentage. You can get unlucky for a period, but over time if you are still getting "unlucky", that means you're not better than your opponents.

Where do you play that's "rake free"? Poker's still a house edged game (one that the house has 0 risk in). Poker is just the easiest game to beat the house edge in.
