prizewagon is on a distinguished road
There is a way to truly bolster the argument that Texas Hold'em is a game of skill.

Of course every hand has a mathematical probability of winning which increases or decreases as common cards are revealed.

That in and of itself is pure random luck.

As players stay or fold in the hand the probabilities again are changed.
The probability of a remaining hand winning or losing is not random anymore at that point.

Is Scrabble a skill game? Or, is it a game of chance?

What online poker rooms have at thier disposal are ALL the factors.

Long story short--online poker rooms can show how often, what could only be characterized as statistically weak hands, have been winners.
