I remember, back in 2006, Casino Royale had just hit the theatres and being an avid Bond fan, I booked platinum seats to watch my favourite hero. Honestly, apart from the insane free-running scenes, the jaw-dropping Aston Martin and the beautiful Eva Green, the one thing that really mesmerized me was the thrilling game of Poker. The final 30 or so minutes of the movie was just that. Bond against Le Chiffre, in a game of skill, each one trying to outdo the other. And that’s when I fell in love with the game, head over heels.

Fast forward twelve years, and while I still can’t play like Bond, I know enough to give even good players, a run for their money. And I think that’s what it really is. Poker is not a game of luck, no, you need to know the game inside out, understand the cards that you have and more importantly, understand the game the person sitting in front of you is playing. This is what makes Poker a game of skill and deduction.
