Poker and skill.

[hbradley]

I know that it takes some skill to play a decent game of poker. How are persons graded for their skill level when it comes to Poker?

We of course have the novice. You know the one at the table for the first time ever.

The beginner who has played a few games but still has alot to learn.

Then you have the expert. This is the player we are all afraid of playing with.

This player knows the game inside and out. You can't bluff them and you can't tell when they are bluffing.

It takes time to get really good at the game itself. It also takes some time playing with others before you can read them well enough to win more often than loose.

Poker really is a game of skill no matter how you look at it. Money may change hands but it doesn't change this one fact.
