Solarfx - I'm not denying it is gambling. Technically, under every definition I've ever read, it is.
What the OP's friend (and many of my friends) seems to think is that it's ENTIRELY gambling, like blackjack. I was trying to show that all these people would treat the game like they would treat tossing a coin, and they'd lose because of it. Poker is about the long run, and in the long run - better players will win. Smushing these naysayers into the ground with a good thrashing seems to me to be the best way to dispel the myth that poker is all gambool.
And yes, mathematically it's possible to toss heads or tails 100 times in a row, but it doesn't happen does it? Chaos gets its ugly head in the way.
