POKER A GAME OF SKILL????

sophie0817

So poker is meant to be a game of skill what about all the hands like i've just had opened under the gun with queens with a 3 x raise then some donk shoves all-in and i just have enough to cover him and he's been doing this alot obviously i call and he turns over ace queen low and behold he hits an ace. Some one tell me that's skill. DONKEY.

I'll let you in on a secret- there is an element of luck involved. Villain wins that hand about 30% of time.

sophie, just some advice. had you come on here and asked if it was standard play to be re raised with aq then the responses would have been more sympathetic. calling someone a donkey in your first post on a marginal call isnt gonna cut it in this part of the forum. area 51 will be far more accommodating. phil
