    Just wondering if anyone has been watching poker after dark lately, Ive been watching and they show every hand played and I realized that not much skill is used, maybe for small pots where no one wants the pot, but luck played a far greater roll in all the poker after dark ive been watching, really it was just good hands vs good hands and hardly any hard core skill going on. I hear everyone talk about bluffing is the way to go but Im seriously starting to think its not lol but thats just after watching months and months of poker on TV I could be wrong here but if you watch all the Afterdark, you will see luck played a far greater roll than skill did.

    Bluffing isn't the only skill in Poker, pot control, getting away from your second best hands and many more are all skills that make the difference between top players and donks.
