Luck vs. skill in poker

The other day we reviewed Nate Silver’s new book which had a lot of poker content, and this reminded me of a post from 10 years ago on luck vs. skill in poker:

The thread of our recent discussion of quantifying luck vs. skill in sports turned to poker, motivating the present post.

1. Can good poker players really “read” my cards and figure out what’s in my hand? . . .

2. Some references on luck vs. skill in poker . . .

3. Rick Schoenberg’s definition . . .

Some interesting discussion there in comments too. Enjoy.
