In Jean Scott's column, she says: "For anyone in this “skilled” category, it is a delicate balancing act. There are always dual goals working here – the money part and the fun part."
But, isn't this the case with just about everything that we do? We balance almost everything in life. We attend shows that we think we are going to like, balanced against ticket cost. The same with restaurants. Or, books that we read. Or, automobiles that we buy. Recreational (or "skilled") gambling seems to be the same to me.

I think Jean’s use of the term skilled player is too broad. If you don’t know that full pay Jacks or better isn’t a 100% game you are not a skilled player.
I’d probably use the term slightly educated player. I’d call a skilled player someone with the same basic skills as the advantage player, but plays in situations that are below 100% because of all the other benefits that he/she may be getting. That’s the category where I place myself.

Those were never considered full pay. They were always considered to be much better. By definition full pay means the best commonly available pay schedule.
