Ross Jarvis, editor of PokerPlayer magazine, said Coren Mitchell's win came at a time when professional poker veterans are fighting it out with a new generation of online whizzkids, many of whom.
Nov 15, 2012 Ross Jarvis I'm a 26-year-old online poker pro and poker journalist living in Chiswick, west London but originally from Chesterfield, Derbyshire. I worked for PokerPlayer magazine full-time for two years before leaving to play online cash games one year ago.
The Sky Poker Tour tournament has passed in the small British town of Luton this weekend. The competition, held at Casino G. attracted 150 players. Among them were a bunch of famous players like Pundit John McCririck, the glamorous Kitty Lea and former footballer Micky Hazard Spurs, who continued the adventure until the final table. But it was finally Ross Jarvis who was crowned at the end of the tournament. Jarvis approached the final table with the third largest carpet, after fighting to survive the bursting of the bubble. Phil Jenkins was the first victim of Jarvis, he was eliminated in the 4th place when he pushed his short stack to 7-8 against the two Queen of Jarvis. From there, Jarvis began to build a considerable lead over the competition.
In the last hand against Tony Stroud, Jarvis 'raise' with A-9, which triggered all-in by Tony who was 10-J. Jarvis followed with 4-7-3-6-3 on the table, he won the tournament. Before the Sky Poker Tour, Jarvis had already won the tournament Virgin Poker Tour Newcastle in 2009 and he was very excited for this victory: 'I am really happy with how I played and it's always nice to win a tournament. My intention was simply to put pressure on other players at the final table as far as I could. ' With this victory and Jarvis Price £ 4,000, he also earned a ticket for the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final to be held in September, 'I am looking forward to this and hope to the doublet in the Sky Poker Tour.

According to a survey conducted by Poker Players research in 2009, 3.2% of all adults in the UK play poker for money. This figure indicates that around 1.5 million adults in the UK play or have played some form of poker. But whether or not poker is simply a game of chance or if it does indeed require a great amount of skill to play is a question which divides opinion.
So on a sunny but cold Saturday afternoon in Leeds I decided to ask the question to the public; Do you think poker is a game of luck or a game of skill? Due to the fact that Leeds in the sun is such a hospitable city compared to Leeds in the rain people were only too willing to give me their opinion. Whilst for most people a simple reply of “Luck” sufficed a small number of people declared to me a confident answer of “skill” with the majority of people who gave this answer then dictating to me an explanation into why they absolutely knew poker was a game of skill. But the people of Leeds had voted and 78% of them had declared poker a game of luck.
The result of the survey in Leeds was not unexpected, although poker has evolved so that it is just a click away for everyone with an internet connection many people still see it as a game played in a dank damp basement or garage or somewhere excluded to inner city casinos.
Sam Grafton, a British professional poker player says that there are so many different elements to poker which makes the game unique: “We do a lot of work on the math, there’s a psychological element to the game as well and hand ranges, it can’t ever be boiled down to just pure luck.”
Similarly Ross Jarvis, another British poker professional who is also editor of Poker Player magazine, when asked whether poker was a luck game or a skill game said: “If you gave two players the same cards, the better player would win more (or lose less) then the other player over a large sample.”
Grafton, who has earned over £1million playing poker, agreed that whilst there is an element of luck to the game in the long run the superior player will win more (or lose less) then a less skilful player: “Poker is becoming more difficult as more people know what they should be doing if it was a game of luck then this wouldn’t matter”
He added: “If you think of it like a pub quiz a quiz with 10 questions would be easier to win as one question has more weight to it then say a quiz with 60 questions.”
It is clear that poker is a greatly polarizing topic. It seems that if you ask the professionals then they will tell you that the game does involve skill, so since these people are the poker ‘professionals’ then wouldn’t that mean that when it comes to poker; what they say is probably true? If we talk to say a professional fireman or a professional doctor who has practised and thoroughly learnt their profession then would we not take their word for the truth if they were to inform us on their profession?
The consensus seems to be that for poker professionals who put hours of their lives each and every day into playing and studying poker then there is skill involved. But for the average player who enjoys playing poker but does not thoroughly study the game to the extent the professionals do then it is luck based.

Joel Cavney, a 22-year-old student and recreational poker player is of the belief that any form of gambling requires luck and poker is no different, he said: “When I play poker I know I’m not going to win all the time because I’m going to be unlucky some of the time, even the best players are going to lose because they can’t be lucky all the time.”
The argument asking whether poker is a skill game or a game of luck seems to be irrelevant as peoples opinion on the subject differ from one another. However it does seem fair to say that it is neither one nor the other, to be a successful poker player a player needs to be skilful at the game and lucky at the same time.

The author R.A. Salvatore’s description of luck is very apt: “Luck? Perhaps. But more often, I dare to say, luck is simply the advantage a true warrior gains in executing the correct course of action.”
