| | Is U.S. Online Poker a Game of Skill? Skill vs chance |
 | | There have been some passing references to poker as a game of skill in a few cases.[1] But these are only references that go to whether any skill is involved in the game, not to the level of that skill as compared with the element of chance in the game. | | | It is the character of the game rather than a particular player's skill or lack of it that determines whether the game is one of chance or skill. | | | The next logical inquiry is whether the game being promoted by the software developer would be a game of skill that could be played for money in those jurisdictions where games of skill played for money are legal. |

| | BigSoccer Boards - how much of the game is actually mental????? |
| | Skill is mostly mental, but there is physical aspect to it: you have to have the grace, poise, and balance (which are physical) needed to be a good player, period. | | | I believe the game is very much mental, which in turn gets you on the field to play well. | | | i go into every game thinking that the team im playing against is stopping me to become a professional and i have to do everything to be the best player on the pitch. |

| | The Mental Game Plan, developed by National Sports Marketing Group |
| | The Mental Game Plan focuses on the players mental attitudes and allows the player, parents and coaches to better understand the characteristics of the players. | | | The Mental Game Plan is not complicated, gives the coach and player a great deal of information and does not demand a lot of time to implement. | | | In my opinion, it is the ability of the athlete to mentally set their goals, determine weaknesses and strengths, align people who can assist them in overcoming their weakness and finally to plan strategies which will enable them to achieve these goals. |

The reality is that it really is not a "game", it is one part of the game. |

| | Golf is and interesting mental and skill game and it does take some muscle but I just don't see it as a sport. | | | As ridiculous as it is to crown Wilt Chamberlain as the greatest athlete of all time for his 100-point game, it is equally absurd to place Tiger on that same pedestal for a single tournament. | | | Tiger clearly dominates his sport like no other active athlete of today (and golf is not an easy game notwithstanding its lack of contact), and his dominance - as his game continues to improve - may extend for many years to come. |
