Default Re: in your opinion, how much of poker is skill

[ QUOTE ]
if this is a statistics problem, then CMI is right as far as results are concerned - that's just confidence intervals.

however, in my opinion, it's your EV that matters, and that is 100% skill dependant, even once you consider people who make correct plays but dont know why - they wont make as many good decisions in different situations

Yeah... its sort of an ambivalent question.

I mean... if I say "poker is 97.3% skill" what exactly can you conclude from that?


A possible definition could be:

Of all players, what percentage are on the wrong side of their EV?

But, even that definition has its drawbacks.
