Do I just do a quick contest of skill to skill, or a regular contest, or does one or the other have to default to one or the other?

Being really good at the game of poker covers everything but the very basics of the betting part. Gambling is the reverse: it covers the betting part well and the basics of the game rules.
If this were for money I'd require Gambling vs Gambling. The person with Poker at 15 would have to default to Gambling(Poker) (assuming this is a poker match) and hope he has good luck.
I would have Gaming(X) default to Gambling(X) at Gaming(X) - 2, because Gaming (X) should give a knowledge of the odds for the game of X.
