Those two things, skill and chance, are not mutually exclusive characteristics. My point is more so that poker should not be treated as if all the skill in the world can account for all the bad luck in the world. I mean there’s a reason there’s no equivalent of the patriots in professional poker. No one is going to win every single game every single time. And I think that forgetting that in the games portrayal is moderately dangerous. Because it is a game played with money. Sure you can mitigate your risk of loss with skill, but it’s never 100% controllable, and that should be acknowledged with more weight in my opinion.
