    Journal of Gambling Issues http://igi.camh.net/doi/pdf/10.4309/jgi.2018.37.3 Issue 37, January 2018 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4309/jgi.2018.37.3 Can We Expect More Students Dropping out of Education to Play Poker or Has Online Poker Become too Challenging? Olav Niri Talberg1 1 Ringgold standard institution, Department of Education, Universitetet i Oslo, Oslo, Norway Abstract Poker is a popular game, especially among male students. It is known to be highly time-consuming and might lead to players dropping out from education. Yet little is known about why it is so time-consuming. In this article, it is argued that developing and maintaining the requisite skill in poker is a continually ongoing process and the game is highly competitive. If a player is not capable of improving at the same or a higher rate as his or her opponents, that person will be bound to lose in the long run. Twelve young poker players and three ‘‘old-timers’’ were interviewed about changes in online poker and problems with combining poker and education. A thematic analysis was used, which concluded that prioritizing between poker and education can be understood in terms of a weight balance; if a student makes enough money from poker, then quitting school seems like a rational choice. If poker income decreases, then education becomes more important. Several of the informants have found themselves having to choose between poker and education. This study argues that poker has become more competitive and less popular in the last five years, making it harder to succeed as a professional player.
