Use "points", or play money, instead of real money. Play enough hands to create statistically significant sample size. Skilled player has more points. EZ.
What I think is funny is that something like the stock market, which is effectively betting in a much more chaotic environment with no clear rules and infinitely more complicated variables, is NOT considered gambling, is totally kosher, & yet the massive losers get reimbursed by the taxpayers even if a taxpayer chooses not to play. Explain that one to me, please.
