Swedish Judges Get Poker LessonExpert Witnesses Demonstrate Skill Element In Legal Case |
|
Swedish Supreme Court judges presiding over a legal case attempting to discern if poker is a game of skill or luck have had a detailed poker lesson from an expert player according to TheLocal.se.
The judges must rule on the case which saw poker tournament organisers convicted of running a tournament in 2007 before their convictions were quashed on appeal.
The unnamed expert witness told a local newsagency that, “Courage, patience, experience, mathematical and psychological knowledge are some important characteristics [of poker]” while mathematician Erik Broman of Chalmers University of technology in Stockholm said poker encompassed a game built on skill and the chances of winning money in poker without some knowledge of the game are non-existent.
