Poker a Game of Skill
|
|||
| Poker is probably the only game in the casino that a skillfull player can always win in the long run. As with everything else in life there is always an element of luck but only in Poker and Blackjack is pure skill the eventual determening factor and only in Poker can it be consistant. | |||
| I can say this because only in Poker is the outcome not dependent on the cards that each player holds, and only in poker are you not piting yourself against the house's unlimited (or relitivly so) bankroll. | |||
| Poker is also the most democratic game of skill in that anyone can walk into a poker room and get a seat in any game he or she chooses. All you need is the cost of the chips or in the case of Tournament play, the buy in price. You can work your way up from a minimal bankroll to the bankroll required to compete in major games, if you have the required skill. | |||

Required
Reading
|
|||
| As always I advocate a complete education. Some of the best books that I've found on Poker are: Caro's Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker and The Body Language of Poker: Mike Caro's Book of Tells. | |||
