Poker is a very interesting game and quite easy to understand and the player with the highest card of 5 scores wins, it's said to be more easier than chess game and the more you play the more skillful you get when you understand the rules and it's terminologies, there are many here that might love poker game, you can drop more poker terms if you know any.
You'll notice that most poker terms are related with military terms however some experts might think it was originated from the military, though i dont take that as a fact

I agree with you that poker needs skill to be able to win. However, the factor that in my opinion also accounts for 50% to help you win is luck, you are lucky to have better and stronger cards than your opponent's cards, your chances of winning will be higher. If you have a good skill and good luck, that's great.
