Odd, I know. It struck me the other day during a short conversation about playing poker.

It really is not complicated.

Poker is a game of skill....and luck. No guarantee, even long term, of breaking even minus the house edge times 3-5 standard deviations of your action.

I don't want to say you can flat bet 1u for 400 bets in 5hrs and expect to keep 90% of your buy in, or even half, anything can happen. But you can, it happens, sometimes be ahead even, it's tough to lose 100u in 400 bets in baccarat 1u at a time. It is not that difficult to dump 100u in 400 hands of poker.

I choose to take my chances against a single opponent who only has a slight 1.24% advantage......
