    Is poker a game of skill or luck?

    There are really no such things as luck. The word we are looking for is probability. There are certain probabilities associated with poker, and they are influenced by skill.

    Understanding Odds and Probability

    It boggles my mind how these brainiacs use math to beat Vegas etc.. But even if you could do that, you'd have to back away sometimes, because too much winning angers the house.

    How often do you go grocery shopping?

    I try to go a lot, but often I don't have time, and some $6 deal from Checkers, Dunkin Donuts, or Subway is still quite economical.

    Do you drink energy drinks?

    I only drink ice coffee and soda. I don't trust energy drinks, but then again, sodas aren't so good for you either.

    Do you still watch TV?

    I enjoy watching local news on TV, but besides that I generally find it boring, even assuming I have time to watch it. And I also find classic shows (The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, ALF, Sanford and Son etc.) and those post-2005 cable dramas and comedies (Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals...

    Video Poker vs Real Poker

    Honestly, I've never tried real poker. I've only played video poker. I was exposed to it a lot on the island of Saipan. They had video poker rooms everywhere.

    Do you think poker is more of a men's game?

    Poker is not a physical game, so I don't think differences in gender mean anything at all. Well, some sexist men might claim that men and women's brains are different. It's like when they say women can't drive a car or vote.

    Poker as it Relates to Probability and/or Statistics

    No matter the probability regarding other things, a large bankroll is probably the most important thing. Who else would agree? Why might it be more important?

    Is the poker profession a respectable one?

    I think if you're going to get into poker you gotta man up (or woman up) and take things like an adult. You can't complain about whatever is unfair. It reminds me of that scene on "White Men Can't Jump" where Woody Harrellson says "Under no circumstances do you ask for the money back", lol.

    Video Poker vs Real Poker

    What is harder? What do you feel is more fun? Have you tried both or one or the other? How would you compare them? How would you compare poker machines, poker video games, and real poker to each other?

    Is Poker hard

    I don't think learning video poker is hard. However, learning how to be some expert player would be hard, and on top of that, you need a large bankroll. Anyway, who has tried books on poker strategy? Has anyone tried something like "Poker for Dummies" (I don't know what the real name would be.)?

    What's the longest you've been out of playing poker?

    I'm not doing video poker now and I haven't done it since probably 2007, at the least. I haven't even played any video game versions. Well, it was becoming a problem as I wasn't winning, so it was just foolish.

    Have you ever won a Royal flush before?

    I've only done video poker. I don't think I've ever gotten a royal flush, but I have seen someone else do it. He (my companion) got a royal flush on some machine in Saipan (a pacific island), but the bet was only 25 cents, so it didn't mean much, lol.
