I think that Texas Hold Em is often 90% luck and 10% skill. At least in online gambling.

I don't know how you bet your hand of KKs but if you bet the cards it appears that you took a bad beat.

For me, a lot depends upon the price of the game. A $.50-1.00 to a $2-4 game is mostly luck since people will frequently not fold a losing hand at the flop or turn. A $5-10 game seems to instill a bit more reality in the newbies to the game meaning they will, in fact, lay down a hand that should be folded.

I'm far from an expert in Hold Em as most of my playing has been Stud Hi or Low.
