“He found that students given some strategies to make decisions did better than those without the strategies.”
How can I say “DUH” louder on-line?
Whatever this study cost, I bet you’d find out the same thing for less money sitting at a low-limit poker table.

And we spent taxpayer funding to learn this? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper for him to go to Las Vegas and get his clock cleaned by some pros and skilled amateurs and not have to waste the time and money of a Federally Funded University?
Or, he could have just read a poker book to find this out and taken their word for it since most professional players have played over 1,000,000 hands of Texas Hold ‘Em and not just 100 or 720.

Heck, I don’t even look at my cards. I just sit on what I’m dealt, throw some chips in the pot and trust to luck!

Poker is unquestionably (though some will) a game of skill and not luck. Over the long term.
Sure, a monkey could be a top poker pro over a short period of a few hands. But over time, the monkey will lose over and over and over.

I have watched the “World Series of Poker” on occasion and am amazed at how often Daniel Negreanu, correctly guesses the cards in an opponents hand by the way they bet after being dealt only two cards.

computer poker and “real” poker are different.. I think. In real poker, you play the other players... in computer poker, you play the cards...
