If OP meant to say that the average player plays poker with more skill than he plays DFS with, then I too disagree.<p>However, I think what he meant is that poker allows for more skill--it&#x27;s a deeper game. I agree with that sentiment. Poker includes all of the things you mentioned, and more:<p>* Building complex models about the other player&#x27;s strategy
* Hedging bets in the form of pot-control, post-oak betting, bluff&#x2F;fold situations
* Scripting, of course. There&#x27;s tons of scripting &amp; mathematical work that can be done in both.<p>Then you&#x27;ve got bet sizing, psychology, bankroll management (in both), incomplete information, and the list goes on and on for some time.<p>Any given poker decision might weigh a thousand factors or more, in real-time, and that often happens several times per hand.
