Poker is a game of skill -
it's also an art-form! With many card games you rely totally on the luck of the draw - if you have a good hand you win, if you have a poor hand you lose. Poker is entirely different!

Even with an unfavorable hand and some skillful bluffing it is very possible to win. With a good hand - one can even use strategies to keep others betting and increase their winnings. It is the one game where if played well the player can and will consistently make money.
