  • Quantification of Luck and Skill in Texas Hold'em Frederic Paik
    Quantification of Luck and Skill in Texas Hold’em Frederic Paik Schoenberg 1. Introduction. Las Vegas, Nevada, July 11, 2015. It is day 4 of the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event. The tournament began with 6,420 players paying $10,000 apiece to enter the tournament. Now only about 400 remain. Some are legendary poker professionals, while others are amateurs taking a shot at poker glory. The tension and drama increase each hand, as millions of dollars and the title of World Champion hang in the balance with each card dealt and each poker decision made. Winning the tournament will clearly require not only great skill but also a huge amount of luck as well. The determination of whether poker is primarily a game of luck or skill has been the subject of intense legal debate. For instance, in 2007 an English court ruled that poker is primarily a game of luck in finding the owner of the Gutshot Club in central London guilty of violating the Gaming Act, which requires a license to host games of chance but not games of skill (Cacciotollo 2007). On the other hand, in 2009 the organizer of a poker club in Colorado was found not guilty of illegal gambling on games of chance in a trial where the jury agreed with a statistician's testimony contending that poker is a game of skill (Hannum and Cabot 2009). As laws differ around the world regarding the legality of gambling on games of skill or games of luck, a clear definition of whether poker is a game primarily of skill or luck might have broad legal implications.

  • RUSSIAN SUPER HIGH ROLLER IGOR KURGANOV JOINS TEAM POKERSTARS PRO Online and Live Poker Titan Kurganov Joins Forces with Pokerstars
    RUSSIAN SUPER HIGH ROLLER IGOR KURGANOV JOINS TEAM POKERSTARS PRO Online and live poker titan Kurganov joins forces with PokerStars ONCHAN, Isle of Man – February 10, 2017 – Igor Kurganov has today joined Team PokerStars Pro adding high stakes poker firepower to the ranks of the world’s largest poker site’s roster of sponsored ambassadors. Kurganov, a fluent Russian, German and English speaker, is widely recognised as one of the game’s best players and deepest thinkers. As well as amassing live poker tournament earnings of more than $12m, Kurganov has proved himself to be talented online as well as live playing for many years as ‘lechuckpoker’. From today, like other members of Team PokerStars Pro, he will exchange his infamous online name for that of his real life persona and will play as ‘IgorKurganov’. Kurganov has been a regular fixture of the European high stakes poker circuit, a constant threat playing high roller tournaments that cost as much $100,000 to enter. During Season 8 of the European Poker Tour in 2012, Kurganov beat now fellow Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu to the title of the €25,000 High Roller for a €1,080,000 ($1,425,874) payday. Negreanu had tweeted that ‘The kid was tough’. It was his third six-figure plus score. Since then, he’s scored a further 18. RAISING THE STAKES Kurganov, who is an ambassador for the charity Raising for Effective Giving (REG), through which he donates a portion of his winnings to charity, said: “I'm as active in the game as I've ever been, so l'm excited to work with PokerStars on their future plans.

  • WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung Events #27 Bis #30
    WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung Events #27 bis #30 Event #27: USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, Tag zwei Zu Beginn von Tag zwei gab es lange Warteschlangen vor dem Cash-out, denn die zahlreichen Shortstacks verabschiedeten sich im Minutentakt, sodass von den 224 Überlebenden von Tag eins, nach gut 20 Minuten nur noch gut 180 übrig waren. Die Turnierleitung entschied, eine nicht eingeplante Pause von 20 Minuten einzulegen, da die Mitarbeiter an der Kasse mit den Auszahlungen gar nicht so schnell hinterherkamen. Dennoch wurde es ein langer Tag, der um 2:30 Uhr schließlich abgebrochen wurde, da sich immer noch 17 Spieler im Turnier befanden. Jan von Halle, der mit 29.600 Chips gestartet war, schaffte gleich zu Beginn einen Double-up . Im zwölften Level (1.500/3.000, Ante 400) kam es vor dem Flop mit Pocket-Dreien zum all-in gegen A [key:card_spades] K [key:card_spades]. Der Flop brachte zunächst einen König, doch gleich am Turn tauchte die rettende 3 [key:card_hearts] auf und 50outs knackte die Marke von 100.000 in Chips. Nach zwei weiteren gewonnen Pötten mit A Q gegen A K und Pocketqueens gegen K Q ging er sogar mit 200.000 Chips in das Dinnerbreak, das insgesamt nur 66 Spieler erreicht hatten. Auch Team-PokerStars-Pro Humberto Brenes lag zu diesem Zeitpunkt über dem Average von rund 150.000 in Chips. Doch dann passierte das Unglück. Von Halle raiste mit Pocketjacks, der Spieler am Button ging mit 80.000 all-in und der Big Blind schob ebenfalls seine restlichen 28.000 in die Mitte.
