if poker is all luck. then so is trading the markets (but obviously it is not)

you can reduce your risk, and pick which opponents to play, among other many things.

luck is flipping a coin.

It had nothing to do with domain names. They stopped all american players from being able to cash out and play on the sites that got hit by the FBI. We're in Canada and wern't effected the same way. The article even said USA.

i wouldnt call a guy winning a pot by bluffing "luck"

i believe its a psychological game, you're trying to read each other and making the right bets make a HUUUGE difference in the outcome

its a game of luck played skillfully

The domains aren't working, but the actual rooms are there. I just did a withdrawal request for the money I had in there, hope it goes through OK...

Yes it is for usa players only. But fbi did seize domain names: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation also seized five Internet domain names used".

And the reason why those sites were up at the time was because domain propagation delay and caching on the users' computers. Not because we are in canada. Try going to those websites now.
