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

Well I believe I will start the paper explaining poker, and some aspects of it(bluffing, etc). Explain EV, and the long term results for +EV calls, and longterm effects of -EV calls. I will give some examples of how other skills such as bluffing, reading a player, noticing patterns, ability to adjust to different styles of play, etc(aside from just +EV and -EV plays)play a large role in poker. Does this sound like a good start?

Don't forget to discuss the role of game selection as a skill.

Two players of equal skill could make significantly different amounts of money, if one chooses games filled with less-skilled opponents than the other.

Other than that, poker is about making correct decisions. But there are so many factors that go into making correct decisions over and over (including your own psychological makeup) that it can get very complicated.
