Successful Poker is SKILL not LUCK (article)

In this article, Steven Levitt (author of Freakonomics, also an economics professor) compares highly skilled poker players success rate to those of major league baseball players.

It is an interesting read, and one that could be vital in the case to prove that poker is not gambling, but more closely related to sports.

The movie is also very worth watching. My wife and I watched it on Netflix about a month ago. It does a great job of teaching you how your dollar works and influences society also, the monetary motivations of individuals.

Thanks for your feedback!

just play tight at the beginning, and play more agressive in the end of the tourney. i would recommend Harrington on Holdem I-III for studying some books.
