“He found that students given some strategies to make decisions did better than those without the strategies.”

Whatever this study cost, I bet you’d find out the same thing for less money sitting at a low-limit poker table.
Wow - just wow. Somebody sponsored research to see if poker is a game of skill?? And then some news organization thought that the conclusion merited an article?? Oh man! Hope the sponsor and reporter next report to an online table where I’m playing.
There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful.
