Abstract: The methodology of relative skill, by means of a detailed mathematical analysis of realistic approximations of Texas Hold’em cash games and tournaments as provided in van der Genugten and Borm [2012], and Borm and van der Genugten [2009] respectively, reconfirms the findings of the court in The Hague (cf. [Rechtbank Gravenhage [2011]) that Texas Hold’em in all its practical variants is a game of skill.
