How is poker a skill game?

Today, I see a question” How is poker a skill game?” in a forum, and I view many people are talking about it, and different people have different answers.

In my opinion, poker game really is a high skill game, if you want to play well, so you should have the skill on several levels. One level of skill is that you have the ability to calculate the odds of your poker improving, so you should have the strong knowledge of mathematics, once you use the mathematics calculate the odds of your poker, you can make an advisable decision, continue or not continue of the pot. Another important skill is psychology, it means that you should have the ability to cause your opponent think you have a strong hand when you have bad hand. Otherwise, you can read people is also important, when your play poker, you should pay more attention on the expression and behavior of other players and dealers, you can read something from them, and when you practice and read more, you can quick know something and make a decision.
