Average players will lose the rake in the long run, but skilled players can make a profit at both endeavors.īoth games involve a significant amount of variance: Luck plays a factor in everything at life, and it certainly does at both poker and DFS.
Both games are played against other players, where the house takes an administrative fee (or rake as is the case in poker). It takes skill to succeed at both poker and DFS (though legally they differ, it’s plainly obvious that poker involves a lot of skill too). Conceptual Similaritiesīoth games are skill-based games played against other players and not the house: This is pretty much stating the obvious. In this article, I’m going to go over the key conceptual similarities and differences between poker and DFS, and in a future article I’ll go over a lot of the common phrases/analogies drawn between poker/DFS and see how they hold up (such as cash games/tournaments jargon). I think DFS and poker are starkly similar at a lot of levels, but there are some key differences. Is DFS simply the new poker or are they just barely relatable? We’ve seen many online poker players transition to DFS, and there are quite a few people in the DFS industry with online poker experience. Much has been made about how poker and DFS relate.
