“The gist is this: forget about winning at poker, and think for a moment about losing. Is it possible to intentionally lose a poker game?
The answer is yes, of course. Is it possible, meanwhile, to intentionally lose a game like Baccarat or roulette or craps?
No, it’s not — which means that you have no control over the outcome, which means that they are entirely games of chance. And which means, in Duke’s argument, that poker, therefore, is not.”

“It is our goal to collect as many hand histories from individual players as possible. Using these, we will determine what accounts for different people’s success in poker. Are there any commonalities between the very best players? How much can people expect to make before the flop based upon starting hands alone? To what extent are the very best players beholden to luck?
