What’s this week’s poker question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Which Poker Game Requires More Skill and Less Luck,Texas Hold'em or Draw?
Answer: If by draw you mean 5 card draw then this game I’d say is definitely more skill orientated. Harder to read opponents, hit draws, know what the best move is and definitely harder to get lucky in. Anyone who plays hold em will tell you how easy it is to get lucky in that game. both require similar skills including maths ability, balls, info analysis and a bollock load of other attributes but playing against a bunch of donks draw is going to be the far better game of choice. But the donks dont really play this game so much, why, because hold em seems far easier to get involved in because of the luck factor and can win frequently enough with relatively no skill. Hold em definitely requires a bigger level of skill to excel at than draw, a lot due to the high level of luck involved

No Limit Texas Hold’em requires the most skill in my opinion (and in the opinion of many other poker players as well).

You need to specify which type of draw poker you mean.
