Here's a nice little video from Mike Sexton, the voice of the WPT, explaining why poker is a game of skill. Obviously I agree with this concept, but I like the way he puts it.
As Mike explains here, if there is anyone who thinks that poker is NOT a game of skill, let's setup a game every other week and we'll see who comes out the winner at the end of the year. I'll be taking all your money, which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.
I'm a pretty big fan of Natalie Portman, I think she is a good actress who is both beautiful and smart. I liked her a lot in her roles in V for Vendetta and Star Wars. In the part I want to show you here, we don't get to see much of her looks because she is wearing a funky star wars outfit and even funkier make-up. But you can hear her beautiful english accent (yeah I know she's Israeli). I swear to god, every time I hear this part of the movie I get serious goose-bumps.
In this scene, Queen Amidala (NP) speaks to the senate about the attack on Naboo by the droid armies... My all time favorite scene of NP ! I WILL NOT DEFER !
