Poker takes no skill, that final table finally proved it to the world.

Poker takes tons of skill when you have time and the blinds aren't taking a significant percentage of your chip stacks. Like most tournaments the main event final table was pretty much an all in fest. There is no skill when your only play is to shove.

Poker takes no skill?

Ok, I challenge you to a heads up game for $10K.

Texas Hold Em poker isn't what it used to be. Luck by a huge margin outweighs the skill it takes to win. That's my opinion but I'm sure many people agree. If you have a somewhat psychological know how on how to play, you can win. If I had that type of money, I wouldn't mind playing heads up for 10 grand.

Ahh... so it used to be skill, and now it's luck?

hno:

The fact is, in a cash game, in the long run, a top pro will end up with a lesser skilled player's money every single time.

Before you didn't have as many players as you do now. Internet sites are handing out seats to tournaments like it's peanuts on a plane. Obviously the pro's are called professionals for a reason but it doesn't take much for somebody to call themselves a pro. Shit, Moon can walk around and join 100 tournaments next year and call himself a pro from now on. Once you got the capital to do whatever you want, you can call yourself whatever you want.

So, you have a bunch of wannabe's playing tournaments, so what?

That doesn't mean poker isn't a game of skill.

Cada Looks Like

a welterweight fighter! Think he'll be around for a long time. Hope he buys his Mom a house first tho, seems like a down to earth kid to me. A hell of a lot better than that asshole Jamie Gold or Helmuth.
