I have to agree! Poker is a game of skills, one layered on top of the other. There are the odds, betting appropriately, playing position, knowing your opponent and making the right decisions. For example - Kevin laying down A-Q to my all-in bet (I was holding A-K); most people can't do that, and 72% of the time they will lose.
I also feel that getting cards is also very important in this game. But!! once you get the cards - you have to know how to play them in order to get as much money as possible from your opponent.
There is a great web-site, CardPlayer.com where you can actually calcuate the odds of each hand. Check it out.
