The Persistence of Performance in Online Poker. PhD candidates Rogier J.D. Potter van Loon and Dennie van Dolder and Associate Professor of Finance Martijn J. van den Assem have analysed 415.9 million player-hands, purchased between October 2009 and September 2010 across three different stakes levels in cash games – low, medium and high, They concluded that,“Our results suggest that skill is an important factor in online poker,” according to van den Assem. 36 page file, please post your own conclusions with supporting data and sources. :) Ta.

The difference in views on this in NATO countries is, frankly, astounding. It can only be political motivation that leads to differing conclusions, when the empirical research is essentially the same, basic laws of probability and the same results against standard deviations.
